Experience Singapore: Changes
Time: 10am to 12pm
Date: 11 July, Saturday
Venue: Starts from the National Library (100 Victoria Street)
From GoLibrary:
What does Singapore mean to you? For a fast-paced country like Singapore, changes are synonymous to the Singaporean way of life. Continuous self-renewal is a distinctive feature of Singaporean life. Cyril Wong will take you on an unconventional trip and bring you to uncover Singapore in a way never experienced before. Take the trip with us to the Changi Airport, Raffles Place and Armenian Street to recover a sense of wonder.
