In and Around Singapore: Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2007

So we went to the Singapore Fireworks Celebrations on Friday night at the floating stadium. The crowds were unbelievable. It was such a hassle getting in that we were soon thinking 'This had better be worth it.'

There were kids games and food stalls outside but we were quite late so we didn't stop to see. Anyway I don't think we would enjoy the inflated prices anyway. There was a Singapore Duck Race booth and as I took a picture of the ducks, the people ran up to me and asked me if I wanted a photo taken for $2. I ran away with my camera...

Go adopt a duck if you haven't already. http://www.duckrace.com.sg/

We went up to our seats which were pretty close to the stage. There wasn't much of a pre-show. Loud blaring music and 2 MCs that I unfortunately did not pay attention to. I think they tried to make the crowd do a wave. Without much success...

The show itself lasted 15 minutes, and I must say (for me and my kids at least), it was worth it. There were thunderous booms that shook your body, exploding lights that seem to jump at you, and lots of cheering.
