Bugis Street was a popular tourist entertainment area in Singapore from the 1950s to 1980s. Bugis Street was particularly popular with foreign sailors and military people because of the friendly people who worked there made them feel at home.
Although a good time was evidently had by all, things (and people) were not always necessarily what they seemed.
In the mid-1980's this area of Bugis Street went through a redevelopment process and the entertainment area was displaced. Today, Bugis Street is a bustling modern shopping area.
