CNY Parade

Here are photos of the New Year's Parade procession at night... I finally remembered to bring my camera with me on this outing. Just photos can't really do justice, you had to hear, smell, taste, feel it to know.

First float is of course a lion, for the Lion City



Sea monster



This is hard to make out, but there's a chain of dragon dancers running around while some kind of fireworks display was going on RIGHT ABOVE THEM... and showering them with the sparks. Not sure if those were hot sparks or not, but it looked very cool.



Musical band float





Jellyfish people.



Pretty



Christopher Columbus's ship??? I think that's what the announcer said it was, but I didn't hear why they had it.



Procession at Marina Square, with the Ferris wheel in the background



NUS! We helped build this float I think...



One of the NUS floats, Christmas themed



Weird transformer robot thing



Caterpillar



Shoe



A Chinese "garden" made up of just lights, very much like Christmas light shows back home.



The financial district across the river from us.



The next day, we saw the lion float just cruising down the street with a police escort, probably from the end of the parade route to the start for its second performance that night.
