Singapore chinese new year
Does Singapore celebrate Chinese New Year on the same day(s) as the rest of Asia ? I believe this holiday falls next year on Feb 7, 2008. How many days does the celebration take ? Will I have problems getting inexpensive accommodation during that time ?

You'll have trouble getting lodging at just about any time. Singapore seems to be experiencing a hotel shortage, as hard as that is to believe. You'll need to book now to get a place, and even then you may have to hunt around.
Some restaurants close on the day but are open the rest of the time.

I had the same problem last month though. I ended up in a backpackers hostel. The rates were crazy at that time...about US$180+ in a 4 star hotel.
There are a couple around in Singapore. There is Betelbox www.betelbox.com, and sleepy sams, the Hive. The one i stayed at was City Backpackers www.citybackpackers.com.sg
Expect basic amenities and sharing of room but it was cheap, i paid $17 / night for my stay there.

1st & 2nd day of Chinese New Year is publice holiday in Singapore. During this 2 day it is not easy to find a place to fill ur stomach, most of the shops & restaurants are close except fast-food eg. McDonalds, KFC still open but will be very crowded. So be repared.
