Hey, came across a review of your childhood memories in SG while searching for my own memories of the Tiger Balm Gardens. I now live round the corner from them, but first visited in 1975 age 11. Old man worked for Singapore Airlines (previously MSA) so spent most summer holidays over here in mid to late 70s. I vowed then I’d be over here to live later in life and finally at age 45 that’s happened. Still trying to reconcile the old with the new – feels like two different places, so in search of memories of the old place. Thanks for jogging a few of these!
Cheers
Steve
