Past and Present Singapore


The majority of Singaporeans live in high rise dwellings. I envy these people whose bedrooms allow them to look at the skyline without obstruction. Though I did not trespass into a stranger's flat, I found a good spot along the corridor on the 8th floor of this HDB flat in Chinatown where you get a good view of modernised Singapore and its Chinese heritage of shophouses. I got the idea after noticing many nice pictures on the internet (like this one) taken from high vantage points. Lunar New Year is coming soon, and these streets will be lined with bright lights and huge crowds. At night, this scene will be very pretty. Anyone knows other spots good for photos of the city's skyline?
