At this time of the year, Singapore celebrates the Mid Autumn Festival. The highlights of the celebration are mooncakes and lanterns. Last Saturday, my friends and I took a trip out west to see the lantern display at the Chinese Gardens. And though it took almost an hour by train from my place here in the east, I must say the trip was worth it.

We got there around 5:30 in the afternoon, while the sun was still up. We took a stroll around and took some pictures..

When night came, the place was lit up with pretty big lanterns. This year’s theme was the underwater world, so there were lots of sea creatures around the gardens.
