Uniquely Singapore
我曾经在这个名为<多美歌Dhoby Ghaut>地铁站外的小公园拍过一张照片。
那个时候,我下来新加坡探访一个在新加坡工作的“老死”。那个“老死”现已移居他国了。
那个时候,路旁的树没成长,地铁还没通车呢!现在想想真的事
物依旧,但是拍照的人已经面目全非了。
义安城前有一广场,最适合观人潮。观人People Watching始终是我出走的最爱活动。此时正值周末,乌节路Orchard Road地处黄金地带,人潮拥挤。我突觉 “奇怪,当初为什么会把Orchard译成乌节呢?因为咱们只要输入“乌”字,接下来出现的尽是一些负面的字眼。难道当初翻译时就不信邪,就好比当初新加坡脱离马来西亚时,没人看好。时值今日,新加坡还是成功了。哈哈,我又开始想太多了。
In the mid-1980s, Bugis Street underwent major urban redevelopment into a retail complex of modern shopping malls, restaurants and nightspots mixed with regulated back-alley roadside vendors. Underground digging to construct the Bugis MRT station prior to that also caused the Night view by the SINGAPORE River.
The ONCE notorious BUGIS STREET, internationally known from the 1950s to the 1980s for its nightly gathering of transevette, a phenomenon which made it one of Singapore's top tourist destinations during that period. is now a CLEAN, HYGIENE street mall. upheaval and termination of nightly transgender sex bazaar culture, marking the end of a colourful and unique era in Singapore's history. Today, the original Bugis Street is now a cobblestoned, relatively wide avenue sandwiched between the buildings of the Bugis Junction shopping complex.

The control tower of SINGAPORE CHANGI Airport still standing tall after so many years and became an ICON of SINGAPORE.
