Chinatown





Go figure, there was way more to do and see in Chinatown!! This area was where the street tailors started the custom made suit's on the streets of Singapore. Get a suit in 2 days. Well now you can get a custom made suit in 6 hours. I visited a family's home that is preserved from the early days of the 50 & 60's where the front of the store was the shop, and the rear was a row of sewing machines, ready to serve the buying public, and further back was the residence where they cooked and slept. Very primitive with those same old hard beds.
