Happy Vesak Day!

Vesak Day is possibly the most important Buddhist holiday in Singapore and takes place on the 8-15th day of 4th lunar month. This year it was on May 31st and a new temple, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, was inaugurated the night before in Chinatown. South Bridge Road was closed down for a Chinese parade with music, drums and dragons. We went to see it but it was hard to take good pictures with so many spectators!
