It's all in the spirit of Christmas I suppose, religious or commercial, whichever you prefer.
If you are out at your favorite watering holes in Orchard Road or Marina Bay, you may be forgiven if you start seeing pink elephants after your night out.
The Elephant Parade is in town!
The Elephant Parade is a phenomenally successful charity event in support of the endangered Asian elephant.
The open air art exhibition is in Singapore now. The very first Asian country to host the event.
Previous hosts were mostly European cities like Amsterdam, London, Copenhagen, Milan, etc.
The elephants are all designed and painted by famous artists and celebrities and will be auctioned off by Sotheby's to raise funds.
If you have not seen the elephants yet, I suggest that you make a beeline to catch them before they are all auctioned off after the exhibition. You may not get the chance again in Singapore as there is a long line of cities waiting to showcase this event.
The painted elephants are really nice. Go get your picture took with them.
I really enjoyed myself wandering around the city looking for each of the 162 elephants on display.
(some of them are further out at the zoo and at NUS, which I don't think I will be there tho').
If you don't have the energy, then your last chance will be when all 162 pachyderms will be gathered at the Botanic Gardens on 9 January 2012 for a mass display.
My advice: DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE !
