Happy Deepavali...

...or is that Diwali? In any event, it's the Hindu Festival of Lights, and they were getting geared up for it in both Malaysia and Singapore when we were there. We went to Little India in Singapore, and it was amazing--a kaleidoscope of colors, sights, sounds and smells as people prepared for the holiday. We even stopped at a couple of Hindu temples, which were fascinating. I just wish we could have been there for the actual holiday (which I think starts tomorrow).
