did u noticed any differences?

These two pictures depicts the same place....... before n after the police came......

the hawkers there do not have license...... therefore to a certain extent.. they are the illegal vendors........ so when the police came..... they ran off with their stalls......

and after the police left.... there they are back again for business....... wad a interesting way to make a living.....

Anyway i had a discussion with a friend over this scene.... both of us hold different views on this kind of street scene....

She feels that there is no orderliness......n at the same time she felt that this kind of illegal hawkers should be gotten rid of cos they will affect the image of the city....

On the other hand.... i felt the exactly the opposite.. this is a way of living n life or even culture of the place..... even though it may be messy at times where those street hawkers just parked themselves anywhere.... i thought this is quite interesting...... These people can find their own living space in the big city n they do enjoyed a great degree of freedom in wadever they do.....

later i found out from my mum that singapore bugis area used to be like that filled with illegal hawkers... they are gone now.... Maybe its for the better..... maybe.....

Ps: pls tell me whether the pictures look normal or not as in if it align with the border. Whether they are oversized or undersized....
