CDG +65 found
ok, I officially have no life. I went down to town today to look for the new CDG guerrila-store. It's located at Haji Lane, parrallel to Arab Street. The location itself was not surprising but I was astonished by the authentic charm and intimacy that the area exudes, something which I thought was extinct in Singapore after years of disney-fying and blatant facade-conservation by the tourism board and URA . The shophouses were really old buildings, not the colourful freshly painted ones you get at Chinatown. And within these shophouses were businesses that are totally non-touristy, like muslim eateries, travellers' hostels, new-age-ish cafes, even a shop selling Swedish weights and scales.
Alright,secret's out, bye!
