On Friday the government announced that they were soon going to be giving Little India a facelift, which usually means a turn for the more boring.

So that, and the fact that I was on my way to Sim Lim Square to buy a power supply for my PC led me to take a walk around Little India.
Unfortunately my camera battery ran out during the walk so most of the pics were taken with my mobile phone camera.
Little India is quite a busy place on a Sunday as most of the imported Indian construction workers etc have their day off. However it didnt seem to be quite so busy yesterday - i think they were probably chasing all the off-duty Filipino maids at Lucky Plaza.
If you happen to be in Singapore for a few days it might be worth coming to have something to eat and take a look at Little India before the inevitable changes.
Little India is also home to the oldest and most downmarket red light district in Singapore, and I expect this to be the first place to be 'redeveloped'
So I took the bus from my place for a 15 minute bus ride and alighted at Little India MRT station. This is a station on the relatively new North East Line.
Walk 100m or so down the road and turn left into Serangoon Road, the main artery of Little India.
Here there are shops selling everything that the hip Indian on the street needs.
From Bollywood movies and music
Stuff to make dresses out of
and tailoring for the kind of guy and gal who enjoy dancing around the coconut trees together.
