[singapore river regatta]
the singapore river was transformed into a myraid of colours on sunday.... it was not the singapore river raft race, but a race with dragons, during the 23rd singapore river regatta....

more than 15 dragon boats of different colours bobbed in the river while paddles filled the streets among the tall buldings and cafes along boat quay...



the event attracted tourists from all over the world, with participants from australia and germany.... a boost to tourism? definitely.... i'd say...



most teams were also decked in colourful outfits in red, yellow, green and blue... even mayors amy khor and teo ho pin joined in the race among the community development councils...
