Chinatown
This is a picture of Chinatown in the olden days,
Some background information about the History of Chinatown
Around 200years back, the ethnic Chinese were allocated the area southwest of the Singapore River and Chinatown was born. Within Chinatown, each dialect group occupied distinct areas and built social institutions such as clan associations to serve the collective needs of each dialect group.
Samsui woman lived in Chinatown back in the olden days. The top picture will be how the samsui woman look like when they were out working.
After years of upgrading and with the advancement in technology, this is how the Chinatown looks like now.
In Chinatown, we can actually find delicious food such as 'Gui lin gao', 'dao suan' and many other Chinese traditional dessert.

Universal Studio
These are some of the pictures showing our very first theme park;
This is the very first theme park we have in Singapore! We as Singaporean are very proud of the establishment of the park. There are many different kinds of ride inside. For example, the Galaxy ride featuring the 'Human' and the 'cylon' ride. Basically the red and the blue ride. These 2 are the most thrilling ride in the whole park.
Inside the theme park, there is still a mummy and jurassic park and many more. Inside the park you can experience yourself in hollywood as there is a street designed exaclty like hollywood. Then there are many picture taking spots in which you can capture your memories taken.
