no, the last picture i saw was with a park, a lakeside photo. "then", full of people enjoying the outdoors. "now" strictly nobody. you wonder for whom the money to make the park "beautiful" was spentbgd wrote:They are all shopping.
They were probably shopping in the vintage photos too, just no malls.
I think it has to be put into a broader context: For example I grew up in Europe with rationing and ration books, and utilities for just a few hours a day, so we used paraffin lamps for light in the evenings. [Hey that's where a socialist government can lead]. Maybe a useful lesson in socialism, 'the workers' hold you to ransom when ever they can, and what ever you give them is never enough.calugaruvaxile wrote:not exactly a "latest news", but it strikes me more and more. all these "now and then" images. the vintage picture shows a poorer place, but full of people, full of life. "now" pictures are clean, rich but totally voided of human life (most of them). i have not experienced the vintage singapore, but i think i would have enjoyed it
