A melancholic trip down memory lane that effectively harnesses the history and geography of the place once known as Kreta Ayer. If you had a chance to look at photos of Chinatown in the 70s and 80s, it would virtually be unrecognizable from the same bustling tourist district of today. There are so many aspects of Chinatown that have changed over the years, and with Chinatown … Continue reading Review: Chinatown Crossings by Drama Box
