A couple of days ago when walking by the waterfront, my date Dee pointed out a giant massive set of stadium seats across the channel and said they looked down on a ‘big floating stage’ and there was some kind of New Years carnival there. I had made a mental note to visit, but wound up there tonight by accident — I went to the Esplanade to get an oyster omelette and then followed the beckoning of some garish lights, only later realizing that I was downhill from that same stadium seating.
-
- Glutton’s Bay — increasingly touristy but still a good omelette source
-
- I was definitely not the only one who felt a need to capture this giant paper bokchoy for posterity
-
- Of course these paper flowers are motorized.
-
- As are these paper people.
-
- All of a sudden, Mandarin pop music here is pretty good! A bunch of Indian drums and beats have replaced the old tick-tick-tick drum machine nonsense.
-
- I could barely tell that I was over the water, but there was nonetheless a rescue crew at the ready
-
- And then there was a laser show across the bay. Unrelated to New Years, best I can tell.
