After my last street sitting post I began to wonder if I was exaggerating. I mean people all over the world sit on streets depending on the circumstances and many of the big groups may just have to do it - Philippina maids on the traditional Sunday off, Indian labourers waiting for the a bus back from a night out in Little India ... but the more I see in Singapore the more I am convinced people here are just have a better relationship with the ground than we do in Europe. This picture shows the Saturday night crowd in Dhoby Ghaut in quite an upmarket part of town. Most people are sitting on the ground as it is shaped perfectly for sitting with an arc of steps, but look at the group of men right in the centre of this shot - one of them has chosen to sit in front of the others on the ground. It's warm dry and clean so I suppose why wouldn't he.
