🏆 Staying home, going far

Extract from Author

Nothing took me farther from my HDB heartland and shopping mall existence than visiting Mustafa Centre in Little India, Peninsula Plaza at Coleman Street, in the very heart of the city, and Golden Mile Complex along Beach Road. In the narrow alleys near Mustafa, I was taken aback every time by pedestrians moving as they pleased between passing cars, motorcycles and bicycles. And inside the cavernous 24-hour mall, there was that endless maze of aisles packed from floor to ceiling with everything from spices, vegetables and fresh fish to clothes, shoes, watches and gold. A slice of India, air-conditioned for Singapore.
