Chinese New Year (2011)



Abbey:
Chinese New Year is much more celebrated than the January 1st event, except only for the countdown. Its because majority of people living here is of Chinese descent. This is 2-day celebration, wherein people will decorate their home with the sign of the animal that represents the new year. 2011 is the year of the rabbit and the people are expected to have more babies. Almost all the establishments or shops are closed during this holiday. One of the good things this festive season is that you can have a taste of their "tikoys" Happy New Year.






WILL: This is the longest holiday of Singapore, and different buildings, different ornaments were displayed. The gong xi gong xi song was played all over the city in many ways. 
Sad not to see how they celebrate this event because we flew back in Philippines but one thing for sure. This is the great celebration.

Golden View Hotel Batam

ABBEY: This a 4-star hotel located in the south-west portion of Golden City. We checked in at 6pm after our Batam day tour. Their superior room is a good one, very clean and looks elegant. Queen-size bed,  spacious room, coffee table, and bathtub. We had dinner at the Beer Garden overlooking the swimming pool. Dinner was chicken steak with mixed veggies and orange juice. I had a good night sleep, a very relaxing one.









WILL: It is 4 Star Hotel in Batam. A typical hotel with swimming pool, jacuzzi, restaurants, gym, a spa service, but what i really like in them was their very spacious room, their bathtub, the seafood restaurant and a very screaming hot water. I do not know their room rate because it was included in their tour pakage.
