Neighbourhoods

Who says Singapore has no character?

Here's Joo Chiat Road on a Sunday afternoon. Hotel 81 in a conservation shophouse. room by the hour anyone? And who needs a hotel bar when you have a karaoke lounge right downstairs?

All those indie stores - old and dusty bike shop, old fashioned bakery, Chinese medicine shop with meds on a rattan shelf straight from the 70s. Don't know how it'll stay that way. But I'm planning on hangin' out there and shooting a lot before it all changes.

And of course, the food at the kopi tiams there are great. What a bonus.
