Old lady carting off wares likely to be sold at the
Sungei Road flea market. |
If you alight at the Bugis MRT station and walk towards Rochor road, you'll eventually hit a straight narrow road lined up with "uncles" peddling all sort of wares.
This is a sudden culture shock if you have been used to all the glitz and lights of Orchard Road or Marina Bay.
This is an extremely opposite face of Singapore not all people would likely experience. So called "thieves market" because it was a meeting place for thieves back in the 1930's, or so I've read.

| Uncle fixing a chain link - also for sale. 5$ if I recall. |
 |
| Sellers at this flea market are 90% old people. |

| You won't see fake vendor smiles here. |
