Preservation

One thing I learnt from my trips to Europe is that they are good at preserving old structures. Its easy to find medieval castles, Roman amphitheatres and many other monuments. Singapore is constantly changing and its hard to find structures that are old which is why I'm glad that the shophouses in Chinatown have been restored.
I'm sad when I see old photographs of buildings that used to exist in Singapore. One of them is the original National Library at Stamford Rd. I'm dreading the pending demolition of Clifford Pier.
