Christmas on A Great Street

Christmas is in full swing in Singapore and since mid November the 2.2 km stretch of Orchard Rd is decorated in Christmas lights and decorations that has made it become one of the 10 most popular Christmas decorations spots to visit in the world according to travel guides.
The colour theme this year is blue gems and sliver diamonds and they are totally new decorations from last year which were red and gold.
Each of the major shopping centres that line Orchard Rd also compete in a competition to be awarded for the best decorations outside their complexes.
The display certainly attracts large numbers of tourists and local families at night and the pavements are very crowded with people and the ice cream sandwich ( a block of ice cream between bread ! ) vendors are doing a brisk business.
