My World Tuesday-Bedok

This is another old housing estate in Singapore. It is Bedok. Bedok is on the eastern part of Singapore.

You can see many shophouses in here. The shops are mostly non air conditioned and you can bargained for the products you want to purchase unless they have a fixed price tag.

Shophouse meant the ground floor is often used as a shop for business and the owner occupied the 2nd storey as a residential quarter. The higher floors are occupied by other flat owners. Further down the photo, you can see a lift upgrading going on. In the past, lifts stop only at certain floors but as the population aged, lifts are being upgraded to stop at every floor for the convenience of the aged residents.

Bedok is a self contained small town, that have many amenities/facilites eg. bus/train stations, malls, banks, markets, hawker centre (above photo), etc.

Wet market selling poultry, meat, vegetables, etc

This wet market has already been upgraded, it is so much spacious, clean and the floor are dry and not wet.
