Haji Lane

I have patronized and Haji Lanes. I know the area by heart. This is as my mum and dad used to have a small, successful sandwich shop called Sandwich Garden. I used to go to the shop almost every weekend and sometimes, after school. I loved the area.  Several years ago, they closed the shop. Despite that we would still patronize the shops there, as they are very unique with it being shop houses. As a child, I used to be so amazed by the beautiful art on the walls. I still do admire the walls and take photos once in a while.

Walking through the streets, the smell of food is relatively strong due to the several eateries there. The 

quirky shops attract tourists and locals alike as they sell very unique items such vintage bags and clothing. If you ever are in Singapore, this is the place to go as you would be able to find quirky and unique items.

However, the only downside of the streets is that as they are very narrow, the disabled will find it hard to patronize the stalls. The walkways are always filled with items that the shops are selling or tables and chairs from the restaurants. Thus, wheelchairs would not be able to get in and out if the shops if so. Another downside is that if it rains, there are very minimal shelters. Not everyone would be able to fit in the walkways if it is crowded. Therefore, do not forget to bring along a small umbrella if you do not want to get wet!
