There's one in New Orleans too. Mardi Gras is celebrated in a few places but i guess all with slightly different flavours... Have you been to one before? Suzanne Hi Yap,

you’re right. There’s one in New Orleans too. Mardi Gras is celebrated in a few places but i guess all with slightly different flavours… Have you been to one before?

I just wish everyone would smile more to show it instead of hiding it :P It's a different environment from the states but I'm sure you'll have fun here... singapore style! ;) Cheers, Suzanne Welcome to Singapore Paul! :)
