It had been less than a month that the students of the two batches have been in Singapore. A visit therefore was thought necessary to Chinatown— the place that showcases the wide spectrum of the Singaporean culture. The college arranged for transportation and students left the campus at 7:00 pm.
The entire Chinatown wore a different look, decorated to welcome the Chinese New Year 2016. The streets had monkeys hanging from the arches. The students walked around and roamed through the lanes in the area. The various shops sold different things – from food to clothes to art. A bite of a jelly here, a sip of a tea there, wondering about Feng Shu talked about around the area, admiring the art, and other times staring curiously some weird things were, they thoroughly enjoyed their time.
After much of the wandering and walkabout was over, the students settled down for a meal together. Each one ordered their preferences and shared all the food that came along. Tired after the walkabout and satisfied with a hearty meal, the students returned back with memories and the satisfaction of having experienced somethings different, something new.
