Shop on the ground floor (which is floor 1 here!) and two additional storeys for people to live in. They are quite deep with usually a courtyard in the middle. I snapped a few that I found original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les shophouses sont des b\u00e2timents traditionnels de Singapour. Un boutique au rez-de-chauss\u00e9e (qui est l’\u00e9tage 1 ici !) Et deux \u00e9tages suppl\u00e9mentaires pour le logement. Ces b\u00e2timents sont profonds avec g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement une cour au milieu pour la lumi\u00e8re. J’en ai photographi\u00e9 quelques-uns que j’ai trouv\u00e9s originaux.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sebastien showed me a maze of covered streets with bars and restaurants that looked really nice. It was very quiet when we went but it is full of life as soon as sun sets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u00e9bastien m’a montr\u00e9 un d\u00e9dale de rues couvertes avec des bars et des restaurants qui avaient l’air vraiment sympas. C’\u00e9tait tr\u00e8s calme quand nous y sommes all\u00e9s mais c’est plein de vie d\u00e8s la nuit tomb\u00e9e !<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beware, the ground can be very slippery when wet (Bon Jovi fans will get the joke!) and I slipped and scratched my knee on one of these stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention, le sol peut \u00eatre tr\u00e8s glissant lorsqu’il est mouill\u00e9 (= Slippery When Wet pour les fans de Bon Jovi !) et j’ai \u00e9videmment gliss\u00e9 et \u00e9corch\u00e9 mon genou parterre.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I had a special thought for my Korean friend while passing in front of this restaurant. She introduced me to Korean BBQ and it’s delicious! Apparently, Korean cuisine is very trendy at the moment in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n J’ai eu une pens\u00e9e sp\u00e9ciale pour mon amie cor\u00e9enne en passant devant ce restaurant. Elle m’a fait d\u00e9couvrir le barbecue cor\u00e9en et c’est d\u00e9licieux ! Apparemment, la cuisine cor\u00e9enne est tr\u00e8s tendance en ce moment \u00e0 Singapour.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The next few pictures are interesting sights I spotted. (First pic) There are plenty of people riding bikes here. And as a pedestrian, you share the space with bikes so you have to be careful. You can also find rental bikes, pretty amazing! (Second pic) I really like this building. It looks like the plants are going to eat it. (Third pic) This one storey building looks a bit out of place in the middle of the sky-scrappers. It is a food court apparently. Something to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Les trois photos qui suivent sont int\u00e9ressantes pour diff\u00e9rentes raisons. (Premi\u00e8re photo) Beaucoup de gens font du v\u00e9lo ici. Et en tant que pi\u00e9ton, vous partagez l’espace avec les v\u00e9los alors il faut faire attention. On trouve \u00e9galement des v\u00e9los de location, c’est assez incroyable ! (Deuxi\u00e8me photo) J’aime vraiment ce b\u00e2timent. On dirait que les plantes vont le manger. (Troisi\u00e8me photo) Ce b\u00e2timent d’un \u00e9tage semble un peu d\u00e9plac\u00e9 au milieu des gratte-ciels. C’est apparemment ce qu’on appelle un “food court”, c’est-\u00e0-dire une halle avec des tas de petits boui-bouis pour manger. Quelque chose \u00e0 essayer!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I finish this page with 2 views of the big streets in Chinatown or around and, as a bonus (and for a smile!), the sign of the restaurant where we had dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Je termine cette page avec deux vues des grandes rues de Chinatown ou aux alentours et, en prime (et un clin-d’oeil !), l’enseigne du restaurant o\u00f9 nous avons d\u00een\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n On a rainy Saturday afternoon, we went around Chinatown in Singapore. It was just a little glimpse but I could[…]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12800,"parent":11520,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12753","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12753"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12819,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12753\/revisions\/12819"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sebetanne.co.uk\/hkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
