Singapore Revisited

The centre of Singapore. A bit of old and new. The view from Gek's lawyer's office in Simlin Towers.


And the suburbs. The Rapid Transit System has been expanded and this line now goes to Changi Airport. The view is from Harry, Gek's brother, and Sandie's flat.


The Art museum was a convent, I understand. A colonial style building of the type you find in the Straits Settlements. Really very stylish.

This odd group sit in front of the museum/gallery. In the 20 over years since we lived in Singapore, art has surfaced with quite a mixture of styles and media

But the commercial heart of Singapore this still thriving. This is Buikit Tima Plaza which I first visited on my first day in Singapore in Feb 1983. We used to bring the girls here to Strawberry Shortcake, a shop where everything was red and pink and to do with strawberries. Even the smell of the place. Gone now, of course.
