Holland Village (Singapore)
It’s neither a village, nor something related to Holland. But there is a little alley at the back with an ice cream shop where I sometimes hide in or take friends to. This part does feel like a village.
In the late 1990s when I first came here, this place was a hangout for students from the nearby campuses. There was a DVD shop, some game shops, and cheap eateries. I lived here briefly in the mid 2000s and later around 2010. Now the place has gone upmarket. There is a subway station and a largish shopping mall.
