Vesak Day

It took a bit of nifty googling to find out what this massively important religious festival was all about. It's Buddha's naming day. The official date shifts a bit, but always lands in May. And, more importantly it provides a day off. Except it landed on Saturday this year, so no day off for me.

Here are some pictures and videos from out and about in Singapore last Saturday.


An enormous tent was constructed on the patch of grass in front of the train station  and this was what we found inside...
