A Quick Walk Along Arbat St.

These photos were already processed, so might as well post it up.

An overview of Arbat Street, Moscow, Russia. Nice weather, it may seems sunny in Summer, but the wind was quite chilly.

The infamous Graffiti Wall which is an art on its own.

Between those fences...

There are many stalls selling books, old books, new books, antique books just name it, unfortunately I can't understand Russian, otherwise I might as well grab one for the road.

Arts especially painting are also ubiquitous, from those detailed ones to those abstract stuffs, one can spend hours just admiring the magnificent work of arts.

Just a quick preview during a recent trip to China.

BRISBANE | The City Centre

To start off the new year, here are some photos of Brisbane's City Centre.

A pedestrian passing by one of the well-known kiosk in the city centre, also known as the meeting point area.

One can get lotsa stuff here, from newspaper to magazine, mobile top-ups to travel card top-ups and also lottery tickets etc.

A modern looking building with a clear blue sky in the background.

Get your healthy dose of snack here, get some juice or you can even just get the fresh fruits.

Hungry Jack's can be found located at one of the premises in the city centre, and you do not want to disturb Jack if he's hungry, not to mention Jack's uncle, nor Jack's grandpa nor Jack's house mate nor Jack's cousin's schoolmate's next door neighbour's nephew!

Now, something that colours up the city centre with a fancy balloon sculpturist. They can bend and squeeze the balloons into beautiful art, but not for those with fainted heart, who cannot stand to hear the popping of the balloons.

SINGAPORE | within Bugis Street

Walking along the vicinity of Bugis Street.


For those who love accessories, than this is a great place to be.


And if you walk outside of the market area, you will come across this building full of "jewels" on the facade.


And on the wall of the market, one can find this, graffiti on the wall.


And next to it, is this old fashion blinds.


But what I found nice is this colourful spiral stairs.

SINGAPORE | Bugis Street

Walking around in Bugis Street.


It is not like walking along Orchard Road, or those air-conditioned mall like Vivocity, but this is a street market, thou covered, but non-airconditioned.


A busy place it was, even if you stop to look at stuff, you can not avoid to be brushed aside from the fast flowing pedestrians.


Not only they sell clothes, but they also sell fruit, Durians even!


Persimmon is also in abundance. Good fruit, sweet and juicy.


More durians, quite cheap, only $2 each!


$2 crackers (keropok) vs $2 durians, it's your call!

SINGAPORE | The Mosque in Chinatown

Another interesting landmark in Chinatown.


Masjid Jamae (Chulia) is the name of the mosque.


For a more detailed history of the mosque, feel free to read it on the plaque.


A glimpse of what is inside the mosque, cool, got vending machine some more what.


An overview of the mosque, squeezed among the shophouses.

SINGAPORE | Multi-Culture in Chinatown

What I found quite interesting in Chinatown, was the multi cultural diversity there within, multi belief and faith.

There I saw one Temple and also a Mosque.


Pagoda Street is one of the alley in Chinatown.


The temple was still under renovation, so just manage to get a peek of what is inside.


There was a wedding ceremony held at that time, and these young women have prepared themselves with their colourful traditional dresses or also known as sarees.


Decorative flowers used as part of their belief.


Not only there were multi culture, but the product sold in Chinatown are also diversified.

SINGAPORE | Chinatown Heritage Centre

Still walking along the area.


This way to the Heritage Centre.


But first, have to pass thru this passage.


Some old ship's instrumentation for sale.


And some seller trying to market their products.


And here you are, the Chinatown Heritage Centre.

SINGAPORE | Chinatown Walkabout

During a recent trip to Singapore earlier this month, manage to mingle amongst the crowd.

The place was flooded with people, walking around, doing their own stuff, or even just sitting along, feasting their eyes with people watching.

Chinatown could be found in almost every major cities around the globe, usually marked with it's traditional huge red gate.

In Singapore, the Chinatown, can't be missed by it's many bright red lanterns.


One of the many entrances to the main street.


A typical scene in Chinatowns.


Taking his own sweet time.


A mobile vendor moving his cart to a different place.
