Lonely Planet Singapore


We usually see glamorous shots of the Singapore skyline, its skyscrapers, and iconic buildings like the Durian (Esplanade) in Singapore Tourism Board’s advertisement campaigns. What we don’t see is the real Singapore – the heartlands where folks dress down and literally put their feet up. I think this picture of an old man playing Chinese chess is uniquely Singaporean. It may not be a pretty picture that shows a squeaky clean modern Singapore, but it’s a lot more interesting than the generic and staid images we are bombarded with.
