Rasa Sayang Posted June 21, 2011 #26 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I miss the old Singapore - the hawker centres where you could get chicken rice for $1.50 and teh o for 5o cents - and the wet markets :) Like this ?:p I took it in 1967 Looking from North Bridge Road up towards the old fire station. That particular street I'm looking down is no longer there. Best get back on topic I guess. :o:o;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itachi Posted June 21, 2011 #27 Share Posted June 21, 2011 You learn something new every day. What a productive topic and some positive and insightful discussion! I like the idea of no cigarettes -- I don't smoke, I have relo's who do and am quite vocal about that (managed to get one of three to stop). Off topic, but I really don't understand our laws here... no smoking inside, but everyone huddles around a building entrance so to get in/out the building you have to walk through a 1km strip of smokers, lol. Re: size of Singapore port. It is from memory, largest in southern hemisphere and definitely in the top 3 depending if you measure by tonnage, units, etc -- either way it sounds huge so I am sure visually massive!

rugbypopsie Posted June 21, 2011 Author #28 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I miss I think it was called the Satay Club where you strolled around and chose bits from different stalls. I also remember being shocked at the armed guards at the airport the first time I was there...so unused to seeing weapons back then. Mark and I had our honeymoon in Singapore and Hong Kong 32 years ago...it is modern and clean now but somehow lacks the exotic attraction it had then.....its still a great destination.

Yeah, have to agree. Good firms actually don't permit that, but others are more lax. It's not a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
