Once again the Glücklich Schoolhouse is out in looking for adventure, this time in CHINATOWN! As the title suggests, we made the visit to experience the spirit of celebrating the New Year and there is no better place to do just that, than Chinatown.
Let us take you through the trip
No.1 on the Map is where we start our journey. We walked our way on Smith Rd through the busy alley of shopping carts and shop houses, looking at everything and soaking in the festive spirit.

Glucklichians in tight packs and hoping for good fortune.
We made stop No.2 at the Sri Mariamman Temple to catch our breath and learn about its rich history.
After that, we continue our journey all the way to No.3 stop; Hong Lim Park to have a picnic (lunch!), allow the children some playtime, and the very important toilet breaks =).
After everybody is well fed, watered and rested, we continue yet again, this time to explore the urban jungle where in it lies the Kampong Boys & Girls playground; The Singapore River.
We walked through even more shop houses and on the way exploring every little detail there is to explore.
From the shops that sells Birds' Nests to the huge vase (made to an aquarium,sort of).
The "sort of" aquarium and the Glucklichians sitting in the Urban Jungle.
But we can't stop just yet. We had to see what was across the river.
No.4 stop; We found out how Sir Stamford Raffles looked like when he first set foot on the Lion City.
After a very fulfilling and educational day for the Glucklich Family, we finally head back to the UOB building, where the bus was waiting to take us home. (But not without a little detour to the museum garden to have some fun No.5 stop hehe).
Until next time! For more photos please proceed to our Photobucket (links on the left).
