When I decided to take up the A-Z, I knew what I was going to write up for G. The choice was pretty obvious. G for Geylang - the red light district of Singapore.
Initially built on reclaimed land to build a commercial airport during the British days, Geylang has seen much transformation since. Current day Geylang road has been built in a strategic manner. The main road is divided into North and South sections (called Lorong, in Malay). The beauty of this road is it retains the colonial style buildings, cramped one right next to another
While during the day time, Geylang looks like any other place, with people carrying on with their usual day jobs, come night (more specifically post 10 PM), the area completely transforms itself to what some may term paradise.
Although prostitution is legal, related activities including public solicitation are not. Various spas and massage centres do exist, that cater to various needs.
That said, people here sure do know how to enjoy life - something we really must learn from Singaporeans, how exactly to enjoy
This is some thing new I came to know and had no idea u participated in A to Z
