~ Kampong Glam ~
ari had a meeting with a client at Beach Road. and before going to the meeting, we walked around Kampong Glam, the old Malay settlement that just got renovated. about a month ago, Kampong Glam is on our list of “where to move next”. but after talking with a few shop-house owners, we quickly realized that the rent in that area is out of our budget. i guess, after the government renovated the whole settlement, the price is climbing up the chart.
Kampong Glam is very pretty and clean. Arab Street, the place where you can find any fabric, is also a part of the Kampong. the area near the mosque has become a tourist spot, where the little shops-houses sell all kinds of Malay goods. a few design companies are moving in that area as well. so… it’s pretty, but very commercial.
i have a little more pictures, not much, on the Kampong Glam album in the Photos area.
