Chinese New Year Fireworks in Singapore

If you are in Singapore (and many others cities with Chinese populations) the night before, eve of, Chinese New Year, you may be able to see and hear the official fireworks display. Entry tickets are sold.

If you or a friend are lucky enough to live in a high level flat in a high block, such as on the thirteenth floor, (which might be called floor 12b or 14) and have a balcony facing in the right direction, you may be able to see over the city to the fireworks.

Check local papers. Now is a good time to make friends with other people in your block and discuss fireworks with them. You might meet potential friends in the lift, by the swimming pool, in the shop, at the AGM, by the communal postboxes, at aqua lessons or in the lobby or by the outdoor fences waiting for a taxi.
