Curfew in Spore?? Martial law? 9pm close shop?

Taipei is pretty crowded i would say. I have not been there, but i have been to BKK and they have those street vendors almost everywhere. Wah walking there was sometimes a night mare and it was not very clean. I dunno why when i speak to some thais they say they like it here. Sometimes the streets have so many vendors it's so crowded and traffic everywhere, u have to be alert 24/7 where got enjoyable?

To foreigners, those street vendors may appear to be haphazard, but they have some kind of system. I notice they only operate during certain times & they have to share the space with other vendors. For example along Sukhumvit those selling stuff disappear & are replaced by people selling food & drinks in the early morning.

i am sure they all have their own arrangements.

It was tough walking along huey kwang market but it was good too since i was buying sournvenirs and it was damn late.


I dunno if sinkees would fight among themselves if they had this sort of system like the thais.

I don't see any ghost town in my neighbourhood. The hawker centre is dead by 10 p.m. That's understandable cause some of the stalls cater to breakfast and lunch, others for lunch and dinner crowds. Can't expect them to work all day and all night. There're 2 coffeeshops opened till 1 a.m. and 2 coffeeshops opened till 2 a.m. (and staying opened past 3 a.m. if there're major football games).

I think it depends on your neighbourhood and your preference. I'm sure that there're many neighbourhoods like mine around. However, it all depends what the stallholders or shopkeepers seem of supply availability and market demand.

If there's money to be made, someone will be there to make it. If you go to Jalan Besar or Geylang area past midnight even till morning, you'll find food to eat. In you insist on going elsewhere where life stops after 10 p.m. to look for food, who's to blame? Same as, if you choose to live in a quiet neighbourhood without shops or with all shops closed after 9 p.m., who's to blame?

[char_jig_kar]

lets get real. how many hdb estates in spore the town centres happening even after 10pm?

 

[johnny333]

I dunno if sinkees would fight among themselves if they had this sort of system like the thais.

Sure can lah. In Spore you have to pay the mafia in white aka PAP. Nothing in Spore gets done unless you have their permission

I think all mature estates are like that. The problem comes with the newer estates, I can understand. I've visited friends' homes in Pasir Ris and Sengkang, and I can see the problem. Better stock up food in case supper pang is calling, or have a car, or be prepared to pay hefty taxi fares.

Areas like mine, no problem. NTUC Fairprice 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7-Eleven always close but never closed. Don't even need to stock instant noodle. And I'm sure there're many areas like mine, e.g. Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio, Hougang etc.

Like you've said, nothing much besides coffeeshops, fast foods and convenient stores. What's your idea of neighbourhood nightlife? Discos and karaokes in the neighbourhood? Those I don't have in my area and I don't mind.

[Ramseth]

at least a internet cafe? a pub? a tattoo parlor?

Internet cafe, yes but not after midnight. Pub with pool and darts, yes, up to 2 a.m.

Tattoo parlour? Whoever wants to go tattooing in the neighbourhood after midnight must be either drunk, stoned or insane. And even if I want to get a tattoo, I don't think that I'm going to do it after midnight and I certainly don't think that I can trust any tattooist to do it after midnight.

 

[char_jig_kar]

but right now, no pub leh. we are so called 'cosmopolitan city' leh. where's the pub in the hdb town centre? no? oh, we have to take a cab, go downtown for that? thats no cosmopolitan city or first world city, thats fuck up back water town.
