It also would have been interesting to see the view from the top of this innovative new building.
And I can't leave without telling you about my shophouse obsession. They were built in the old days, just 4 to 6 metres wide, with a shop on the ground level and a place to live upstairs. A lot were torn down in the 60s and 70s, but now they are treasured and restored. Often painted in bright colours, I just found them really attractive, so I took pictures of them whenever I came across them. I thought some might be nice enough to frame when I got home. Here's a couple of samples.
So, it's time to leave Singapore.
Foods I wish I'd been brave enough to try:
durian, king of the fruits
fish head curry soup (spicy)
I should have taken more shophouse photos.
Goodbye Singapore.
I think you guys have been excellent tourists - no regrets!
ReplyDeleteThis shophouse shots are cool - you should do a collage or something with them!
what great photos - the shophouses are incredibly charming. Shot of St. Andrews is wonderful.
