You can see many shophouses in here. The shops are mostly non air conditioned and you can bargained for the products you want to purchase unless they have a fixed price tag.
Shophouse meant the ground floor is often used as a shop for business and the owner occupied the 2nd storey as a residential quarter. The higher floors are occupied by other flat owners. Further down the photo, you can see a lift upgrading going on. In the past, lifts stop only at certain floors but as the population aged, lifts are being upgraded to stop at every floor for the convenience of the aged residents.
Bedok is a self contained small town, that have many amenities/facilites eg. bus/train stations, malls, banks, markets, hawker centre (above photo), etc.
Wet market selling poultry, meat, vegetables, etc
This wet market has already been upgraded, it is so much spacious, clean and the floor are dry and not wet.

A nice post Alice, I too used to love shopping in Singapore and eating the food from the street veldors who have now disappeared.
how interesting! you live in such a special corner of the world!
Thanks all for visiting my blog.
Elaine, yes the weather is so hot, been hiding in my corner...lolol. Been so busy with family matters too.
Lovely shots from your place. I am tempted to pick my bag and go shopping.
Singapore is clean and safe. I feel very at ease walking about in Singapore. You can't say that about many countries. The MRT is also very good. The stations are clean. You want to shut your eyes in the Auckland station. That is why I don't travel by trains here.
