Abstract:

The old charm of Southeast Asia comes back to life as you stroll through the narrow streets of early Singapore. Discover 26 vanishing trades and activities scattered along the streets, in traditional shophouses and on busy five-foot ways. Ask the parrot astrologer to pick a card and tell your fortune, meet the snake charmer or visit the Chinese calligrapher. Let the tradespeople reveal their secrets through exclusive video footages, old photographs and informative text from factual reporting.
