One for the architecture



Fans of architecture and urban planning, this should interest you.

A Dutch colonial building withstanding the test of time. 
Spaces between the buildings speaks of  the absence of urban planning
yet it exudes an unique character which is replicated across the region.

I think this combination of modernity and the nostalgic past makes
places like Yogya and the rest of Southeast Asia special. The ability to
establish "chaotic order" is something that we should appreciate
especially when order and planning is de rigeur in Singapore
