Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away early Monday morning at the age of 91 and is considered by many to be the founder of modern Singapore. His vision for Singapore from its independence from Malaysia 50 years ago was a lifetime work and one of his passions was to have a city within a garden to distinguish itself from other concrete jungles in Asia. Fittingly a new orchid has been named after him and is on display for the first time while the body is lying in state.<br />
TV and radio stations are playing tributes around the clock to him which give a wonderful insight to early Singapore as well as giving updates on the waiting time to pay respects at Parliament House.<br />
A private wake was held at the private residence of the Prime Minister in the grounds of Istana which is also the home to the President of Singapore and today the coffin was transported by a gun carriage to Parliament House where the body will lie in state for 4 days.<br />
Already there is a 4km queue for people waiting to pay their respects with people waiting up to 8 hours to gain entry.<br />
Throughout Singapore 18 condolence sights have been set up for the public to pen their thoughts and leave flowers.<br />
The State funeral service is on Sunday with various sites being set up to watch the live telecast.<br />

</div>
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, Gardens by the Bay is showcasing a display called "Asian Tales" in the Flower Dome. The inspiration for the display comes from Chinese brush paintings of scenic mountains and valleys. Large mountains feature in the display surrounded by fields of flowers that have significance to the Lunar New Year. As 2015 is the Year of the Goat - goats have been sculpted out of wood and also chrysanthemum and marigold flowers and are scattered throughout the display.<br />

The original Chinese word for this years zodiac is "yang" a generic term for the horned ruminating mammals. During the translation process, different people have interpreted the word differently either as goat or the sheep.<br />
The main decorations in Chinatown are of goats but many stall holders have goat and sheep decorations. Our local shopping centre has the theme of sheep in their decorations.<br />
The display in Chinatown features 388 Goat shaped lanterns and 1500 gold coin lanterns.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gardens By the Bay have created a beautiful European style Christmas Wonderland in the gardens around the Supertree Grove.</div>
Gigantic Luminarie light sculptures feature throughout the display and were constructed and imported from Italy. In the middle of one of these sculptures, snow making machines projects snow several times a night creating a White Christmas experience in the tropics.<br />
Also imported from Italy is an illuminated bandstand that plays host to carollers at various times.<br />
A 200 year old Spiegeltent, from the Netherlands is being used as a unique dining experience. The Spiegeltent interior is lined with mirrors and stained glass making it an opulent setting for diners. Visitors also can experience a European-style Festive Market selling festive treats and gifts.<br />

</div>
To celebrate Christmas, the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay has been transformed into a festive theme with a gleaming tower, miniature village , topiary reindeer , snowmen and of course Santa.<br />
Various Christmas trees are decorated throughout the Dome as well as poinsettias, lilies, holly and red and white begonias adding colour to the festive display.<br />
To cope with an increase in visitors the opening times of the Flower Dome have been extended. <br />

A photographic exhibition outside Shaw House showcases both the Christmas Lights over the years and celebrations on Orchard Rd on Christmas Day when the road is closed to traffic.<br />
This years lights and decorations are multicoloured to represent Singapore's diversity as Singapore prepares to celebrate 50 years of independence next year.<br />
Twelve of the major shopping malls will also be competing for the best dressed shopping mall which is determined by public votes.<br />
The lights were switched on by Singapore's President Tony Tan Keng Yam on the 15th of November and will run to January the 1st.<br />

<br />
Taking advantage of the quick and seamless crossing on the Eurostar train to Paris was a great opportunity to see Paris in December and in festive mode.<br />
Despite the weather being extremely cold and the sky grey , the day was fine and enabled a full day of sightseeing without the need for umbrellas.<br />
The major departments stores had crowds lining up to see the Christmas windows and roasted Chestnut sellers were doing a good trade until the police came by and they picked up their stands and fled!<br />
The Champs-Élysées had a huge European style Christmas market with food, mulled wine and craft stalls. An ice skating rink was also set up and seemed to be very popular with adults and children.<br />

The main shopping streets such as Oxford St and Regent St were decorated with Christmas lights. Shop windows featured elaborate displays and restaurants were offering Christmas menus. The weather was cold but fine and the daylight hours were reduced from about 8:30 am to about 4pm. A huge Winter Wonderland was set us in Hyde park offering European style Christmas markets and amusement rides for children.<br />

The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are Istanbul's top tourist attractions and both were under restoration on our visit but still attracted the crowds and worth seeing. Both attractions are partially under scaffolding but still allowed a great view of the details inside and out of the structures. </div>
The mosque is known as the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design. The Mosque was built in early 1600 during the rule of Ahmed I.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. First built as a Greek Orthodox church in 537 and the converted into a mosque in 1453 till 1931. It was then converted to the present day museum in 1935. Its rich interior is decorated with mosaics and marble pillars. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar in Istanbul are popular tourist attractions and can be very crowded at times attracting up to 400,000 visitors a day during peak time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some online travel sites have comments that the Grand Bazaar is a rip off and should be avoided. We found it to be an interesting experience with the shop keepers in jovial moods and not pushy like markets in Thailand or China. Many of the items on sale were repeated but with over 5000 stalls in 60 streets, there was a large variety of items . It was just a matter of saying "no" if we didn't want to buy a particular item. Bargaining was required and most prices could be decreased by 50 to 60% off the starting price. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also interesting was the mosaics on the ceilings of the various domes in the covered market as well as the tea sellers delivering cups of tea on silver trays to the various stall owners.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Spice Bazzar was a colourful and vibrant market selling a huge range of spices as well as Turkish Delight or Lokum in many varieties. Many of the premium Lokum was made with honey and had the addition of nuts or dates and could be sampled before trying to make a hard decision of which flavour to purchase. The spices could be purchased in small quantities and were vacuumed sealed for traveling. </div>

Taking advantage of some great airfares we decided to spend 8 days in Istanbul in late November. Flight time from Singapore to Istanbul is approximately 12 hours. We had an overnight stop over in Doha which helped us adjust to the time zones change.<br />
Traffic from the airport on the European side to our hotel was horrendous with constant lane changing and soundings of car horns. During peak hours constant beeping of horns as well traffic jams could be seen and heard.<br />
Istanbul has so much to offer and we found getting around on the public transport system a breeze. Major attractions were not crowded and we were able to enjoy the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Bazaars without the normal peak season numbers.<br />
Several times we caught the ferry across to the Asian side to visit the various neighbourhoods and to visit a fantastic fresh food market.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Taking a 2 hour cruise on the <span style="text-align: center;">Bosphorus Strait was a highlight of the holiday and the cruise takes you past many beautiful waterfront properties both on the European side as well as the Asian side of Istanbul.</span></span></div>

<br />
Deepavali celebrations are in full swing in Little India in Singapore. Deepavali falls on the 22nd of October this year and the streets of Little India have been lit up with elaborate decorations that captivate the crowds at night. Large temporary markets are both crowded with stall holders selling decorations and food for the festival as well as people shopping for the celebration.<br />
Deppavali is also known as the Festival of lights and is the most important festival in Hinduism. The festival is the celebration of good over evil and light overcoming darkness. <br />

Previous festivals have being held at the Suntec Convection Centre.
The festival featured show gardens created by international landscape and garden designers, floral displays and Penjing competitions. Penjing is the ancient Chinese art of depicting artistically formed trees, other plants, and landscapes in miniature.<br />
Gardens by the Bay were a magnificent backdrop to the wonderful show gardens and displays as well as the many market stores selling horticultural items.
As many Singapore residents live in high-rise apartments and their gardens are confined to their balconies a large section of show balconies were on display to give inspiration.<br />
The show was hugely successful with over 300,000 people visiting the show over the 9 days the festival was on.<br />

While in Tokyo we read in the newspaper that a large sand sculpture exhibition had just opened in Yokohama. The train to Yokohama took us about 30 minutes from Tokyo and the exhibition is on until the 3rd of November.</div>
Sand sculptors from around the world have created giant detailed sculptures that include World Heritage and historical buildings from China, Japan and South Korea. The artists used sand from the Tottori Sand Dunes, Japan’s largest coastal dunes which is about 6 hours by train from Tokyo.<br />

Having missed out on a tour of the grounds of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on past visits to Japan , I made the effort to book ahead in order to go on the free guided tour during our latest trip to Tokyo. The tour is just over an hour and is conducted in Japanese but audio guides were available for other languages.<br />
The Imperial Palace in Tokyo is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is located in a large park-like setting of about 3.5 square kilometres close to the Tokyo Station and contains several buildings including the main palace and the private residences of the Imperial family as well as the Imperial Household Agency.<br />
Most of the structures of the Imperial Palace have been rebuilt after being destroyed in World War II. After the war the current Imperial Household Agency building was used as a temporary palace.<br />
The current palace complex which consists of 7 main buildings and was completed in 1968 in a modernist style with Japanese architectural references such as the large gabled roof, columns and beams.
The gardens surrounding the palace are beautiful and very sculptured and would be spectacular in Autumn.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We hired a tour guide who came with a driver to take us to </span>Halong<span style="text-align: left;"> Bay from our hotel in Hanoi. The trip by car takes about 3.5 hours with a stop at a tourist souvenir centre for about 20 minutes which stocked the same items that are available in the markets and shops in Hanoi. The car ride certainly was an experience with constant lane changing (often on the wrong side of the road ) as we passed through many small villages and rice fields. Some of the cargo being carried on the back of motorbikes had to be seen to believed and the the most astonishing item was a washing machine being transported!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Arriving at Halong Bay the number of boats available to take passengers on a cruise is incredible and despite the large numbers of tourists we boarded our boat efficiently with 8 other tourists. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A seafood lunch was served on the boat while we headed out to the Bay and I was a bit concerned that the amount of boats would spoil the experience. But due to the vast size of the bay it was certainly peaceful as we motored around the countless limestone pillars and islands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The weather was perfect and our tour guide told us that it is such a gamble with the weather and often after arriving the boat rides are cancelled due to the bad weather. <span style="text-align: center;">Certain tours stop off at the many floating villages along the way but we instead stopped of at a huge caves called "Hung Dau Go" ( Cave of Wooden Stakes ) which gets its name from where the Vietnamese use to store sharpened wooden stakes to fight of the Mongolians in the 13 century. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The caves are reached by climbing 90 steps and once inside there are 3 chambers with many stalactites and stalagmites which our guide had much fun pointing out various formations that looked like certain objects. Some were easily seen but others required a vivid imagination!</span></div>

As the holiday was also been celebrated in Vietnam the mad traffic most people mention about Hanoi was rather tame in terms of quantity but the lane changing and driving on the wrong side of the road lived up to expectations.<br />
We stayed in the West Lake area which had many large homes lining the lake and was a short taxi ride into town.<br />
The city is divided into different tourist areas and we spent most of the time walking around the French Quarter and also the Old Quarter.<br />
The Old Quarter is the main tourist shopping area and the shops are filled with lacquer products, silk items and woven items made by the hill tribes of Vietnam.<br />
People watching was very entertaining in Hanoi especially the locals going about their daily routines - from the fresh rice noodle sellers, flower sellers , vendors cooking in the street to men having their haircuts and shaves done on the footpaths.<br />

Because of the holiday many families were taking advantage of the days off and were spending the the day beside the Hoan Kiem Lake.<br />

Some 25000 tulips have arrived in Singapore from the Netherlands and another 25000 will arrive in a few weeks time to keep the display fresh. The temperature in the Flowerdome has been lowered to increase the life of the flowering bulbs.<br />
This is the second year Gardens by the Bay in conjunction with KLM airlines have put on the display and the theme this year is Holland's architecture and canals. The display features 20 varieties of tulips and 9 varieties of the highly fragrant hyacinths. <br />
This year the popular white bunny Miffy from Dutch children's author Dick Bruna has also come to Singapore to have photos with children at Gardens by the Bay during the festival.<br />
