cny chinatown with kids... tips

In case we want to go again next year – though the prospect is dim.

ONE
Do not drive. Park elsewhere – Vivocity has loads of carparks – then take the train to Chinatown (two stops away).



TWO
Do not eat there. Too crowded. Eat at Vivocity.


* Day and one of his favourites, bak kut teh. He polishes off a full bowl.


* We toss Lu a bone.

THREE
It’s probably better to go on a weekday morning. Like Tuesday when there is no one around. It won’t be so pretty without the lights though.



FOUR
If one party is eager (me) and the other not (KK), it would suffice to pop out of the MRT and brave the crowds with baby and 2 kids (Don’t Lose Them!) for all of 15 minutes to “soak in the atmosphere” before scurrying back in. Eager party should not show a black face when the Unwilling one intones: Whatever. Hurry Up. I don’t have a good feeling about this.


* KK’s grim mien.
