Last week, I had the chance to check out the colorful exhibit down at Raffles Place for Archifest 2016. It was surprisingly an oasis of calm in the heart of the downtown area, where people were lying on hammocks, pumping air into a huge smiley face, and of course taking photos. There are always fun things happening here in Singapore!

Exploring Arab Street & Rochor Centre
On Saturday, my photographer friends and I ventured to the sunny streets in order to get some good photos! Even though we were tempted to keep our outing indoors due to the hot sun, we persevered and managed to get some good shots. The Rochor Centre buildings are coming down soon and I was really excited to get some shots of these colorful buildings before they would just be a faint memory of Singapore’s past. Our route ended up looking like this:
1) A.R.C. Coffee (29 Sultan Street) – We need food/drinks before a good photo walk of course! Plus, they have really cool wall art outside the building.
2) Arab Street- We walked towards Haji Lane and saw the Mosque and fun restaurants, cafes and stores along the way.
3) Rocher Centre-It’s near Bugis MRT Station. Make sure you check it out before the buildings come down…
4) Curious Palette (64 Prinsep Street)- We ended our photo walk with more food and drinks of course at this hipster cafe.
