Singapore Notes #1: Kampong Lorong Buangkok
These are photos from Kampong Lorong Buangkok, which is one of two remaining traditional villages (kampongs) in Singapore. (The other is on the small island of Pulau Ubin). The pictures were taken in Sommer 2004. The kids do not live in the kampong. They come on weekends to visit their relatives who still live there. They seem to enjoy the break from city life to become kampong children on the weekend. They took me on the grand tour of the village. They translated when I spoke with people in the village who didn't speak much English.

Hi Paul
My name is Johanna and I cam across your entry on Kampong Lorong Buangkok on the internet. I am currently doing some research on the possibility of conducting a fieldtrip to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. Would it be possible for your to share your experience with me? Did you like the kampong environment? What do you like about it?
If you are interested to carry on the communciation with me, kindly drop me an email at Johanna_Khoo@yahoo.co.uk.
Thanks!
Johanna
