Singapore - Exploring the New Hood

Joo Chiat
Just a five minute walk away is a neighborhood called Joo Chiat.  It is one of the places that maintains the original Singapore look - shophouses.  There are few tall condos or government flats around, the highest buildings are three stories.
It's quite a nice look.  I really like the feel.  We walked around, window shopped, ate various things.  The only drawback - the nearest subway stop is a ways to walk.  This morning, we had a dust up over taking public transportation versus cabs.  In the end, we compromised and did a bit of both.
