Photos from Katong

I took the pictures when I want to Katong to get photos for the RTA photo montage. At first, all I thought that I was going to see was just a couple of old buildings and temples. But when I reached there, I realised that the architecture of the buildings found were very unique. I noticed that many of the buildings there had unique carvings of dragons and other different sculptures. When I was there, I found out that my father had actually once lived there. Through him, I also learnt that many riots used to happen in Katong.

Upon reaching home, I did a background research on Katong. Through the internet, I learned that Katong used to be inhabited by foreigners and well-to-do locals. Although I go to Katong every week for classes, I had never realised that Katong actually had such a rich heritage and culture. Some of the buildings there is even protected.
