Chinatown Street Market 2014 - Life Goes On

South Bridge Road, Chinatown

Central, Singapore

January 2014

On 08 January 2014, a top travel agency closes its doors abruptly, leaving more than 400 customers stranded without their travel plans. On 11 January 2014, President Tony Tan officiated the Chinatown Chinese New Year Light-Up and Opening Ceremony.

Today, life goes on with a foreign national from China cycling against the traffic, a lorry stopping illegally to deliver goods, and a cab turning sharply into the left lane to pick up a passenger...

Chinatown Street Market 2014 - Happy Spring Cleaning

South Bridge Road, Chinatown

Central, Singapore

January 2014

Suhaimi, Roslan and Johari are from the Johore state in Malaysia. They have been with Cleantech Asia for several years now. Joining the company around the same time, their friendship was easily sealed through time working on their assignments together.

Today, they have been assigned to clean the temple in Chinatown. Happy to be working in the heart of town, they gladly stopped their work to give directions to a lost Filipino tourist looking for the nearby Tanjong Pagar MRT Station.

Chinatown Street Market 2014 - Turn Left, Turn Right

South Bridge Road, Chinatown

Central, Singapore

January 2014

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple was a crossroads for these two pedestrians:

The day is cloudy, an umbrella comes in handy if the skies open up. Also useful if she needs some support when her legs ache from all the walking later.

Turn Right  After a few days of Asian food in his Singapore travels, Bryan spots the Western food stall in the nearby kopitiam. Decidedly hungry, he quickens his pace, his height and long strides narrowing the distance easily. He ignores Adam, who is lagging behind, and trying very hard to catch up with his taller friend.
