Step by step: Early life in Chinatown
You may have been to Chinatown in other countries, but Singapore’s Chinatown has a unique charm that cannot be found anywhere else. It is where you can trace the footsteps of Singapore's early Chinese immigrants, to experience how they lived and worked. Join me as we uncover heartfelt stories of street hawkers, coolies and samsui women, enduring hardship to build a life away from home.

Till the cows come home......to Little India
Walking around Little India, one animal will definitely catch your eye. There are murals and sculptures of them, and even roads named after them! (hint: Buffalo Road and Kerbau Road) Not only are cows worshipped in Hindu temples, Singapore's early Indian immigrants also made a fortune with cattle trading. Join me in exploring the vibrant colours, sounds and scents of Little India......till the cows come home!

A Monumental Achievement: Uncovering the Singapore Story
Buildings in Singapore emerge and vanish in the blink of an eye, but these 76 buildings have been earmarked for the highest level of protection, due to their historical, cultural and architectural value. Singapore may be a young nation with limited land, but as we embrace the future, we also must not forget our past. Join me as we uncover this treasure chest of fascinating stories at Civic District, right in the heart of downtown Singapore.

Richard K.
Richard K is a Tourist & Nature Guide licensed by Singapore Tourism Board. He is a nature lover and also a wildlife photographer. He grew up in a rural area known at a kampong at the North Eastern part of Singapore. His family practised living off the land and off the sea where he acquired the practical knowledge on the “way of nature”. He enjoys living a healthy and adventurous lifestyle and love meeting people and sharing personal experiences. When he became a senior citizen, he could not retire as he was still very active. So he took up the Tourist Guide Course, partly to know more about Singapore and partly a strong passion to share Singapore success story to visitors and locals.
