GEORGETOWN Celebrations ~journeys 2010: journal with pfotos~ Feb.

~ the whole week's been a holiday ~



There's been some sort of celebration going on every day...






...and most nights too!






...down at the historic part of town...






...and around the streets...






...colorful floats and marquis tents...








...and stage performances.






The Saturday and Sunday are holidays too.
Chinese Valentine's Day, the 'official' end of Chinese New Year.
The recent birthday of Mohammed also.



Down at the temple of Kuan Yin...









...colorful and fragrant...







Outside too...






...then also on Chulia Street...






...the crowds gather for the procession.







And the entrance to Kapitan Keling Mosque is looking fine in honor of the prophet's birthday.
