Christmas seems to be a commercial symbol in Singapore. Even though Christians are in the minority, massive Christmas trees and displays of lights and decorations were visible everywhere. Each shopping mall seemed to be trying to outdo the last. We took the train to the Arab district to check out one of the local street markets. We were a little too early and the market wasn't open yet (aside from a few fruit vendors with stinky durians stacked high).
However, it was worth the stop just for the irony of seeing a giant nautical themed Christmas tree gracing the exit to the train station.
