Roosting Close to Home?

For those to whom the Chinese word for chicken means more than just poultry, this picture is rather humourously "symbolic".


Taken in Chinatown. This is the "entrance" to the Chinatown New Year light-up. The entire display is rather garish, too much red and gold and too little of anything else. And too many claw-like motifs. The overall effect is like watching tomato and orange juices mix in a glass, with an red bulb in the background.

All these roosters at the doorstep of Keong Saik Street! Of course, the "trade" is not what it used to be in that part of town anymore, but it's still good for a chuckle. Now, if these scenes were found in Geylang, I would just about die laughing.
