Dui's Day Out (Part 2): Vietnam Exhibition and Lantern Festival

This is the continuation of Dui's Day out part 2.

We started the day at 12:15pm at City Hall, where Dui 1 tricked Dui 2 to go to Comex with her. But at around 2pm or so, we finally made it to the Asian Civilization Museum to enjoy the Vietnam Exhibition. The admission was free, so we save S$8 each, plus there was a free flow of Gardenia raisin muffins, and free Vietnamese Ice Tea! We also saw some cultural performances, mainly singing by Mat Troi Moi Band, and Viewnamese dances which was rather good! We also run around the whole museum looking at some of the wonderful exhibit there. ACM is 100% better then the National Museum of Singapore!


We left the museum around 6pm or so and went looking for dinner towards Chinatown area. While walking pass the Singapore river, we notice some lanterns decorating Clark Quay area, and decided to walk in to explore. What we saw was a Japanese 'Ching-Gay' with Japanese lanterns as show in the photos here. Quite impressive. The Mid-Autumn Festival doesn't start till 31st August, but we manage to catch all the preview lights up on 30th August :)

All in all, it has been a fruitful day!
