During the fieldwork, we collected data of things such as the environmental condition of the sites and the rate of the visits of tourists. We also took many photos of the different sites and even had a sketch on the layout of the sites like the buildings. These acts were to make sure that we have all information readied and available when we need them for extra knowledge or to know the overall landscape of the respective venues.

As we were doing our project, we realized that we had some necessary additional data that we needed for the project. Therefore, we had to go online to google for information that can be found from the internet. Such example is the history of Kampong Glam. This piece of information cannot not be obtained through the fieldwork, thus we needed to use the internet to assist us in knowing the history of that place.

Another thing we had to experience was having to stand under the scorching sun for an hour, doing non-stop fieldwork and walk around the sites while strangers stares at us and judge our actions.

Furthermore, during the collations of data such as the counting the number of pedestrians, we lost count at times when tourists or locals came in a huge group at the same timing.

Having to draw out the landuse survey was also a difficulty, especially for Allya who went to the Golden Landmark Shopping Centre, where there was a large number of shops to be accounted for.

During the collation of data, we should also have payed more attention and focus to the tourists and locals who were going around so that our counting would be more accurate. Additionally, we should also have thought of filming the location that we stayed put at while doing the pedestrian count so that even if we lost count we could check back on the video to confirm the numbers in order to ensure a more accurate and precise count.

When drawing the landuse survey, we should also have taken more photos, or even a video by filming the whole site so that we can check exactly what shops there are and even see the kind of items that each particular shop sells.

Kampong Glam was initially a fishing village located at the mouth of the Singapore River but it became more popular when the Sultan of Singapore and the Temenggong signed a treaty with the East India Company in 1819.

It is one of the places where Malays lived during the Raffles Plan of 1822 as settlements was divided according to different ethnic groups.

Victory Restaurant is Singapore Zam Zam's closest competitor, in more ways than one: both restaurants are over a hundred years old, with Victory's age only being shy of Zam Zam's by two years. You have a choice of chicken or mutton murtabak - and a selection of sizes

Café le Caire on Arab Street was conceived as an alcohol-free alternative to Singapore nightlife. The menu is unabashedly Middle Eastern by way of Egypt: the mezza platter, with an assortment of appetizer-style Egyptian finger foods, is a must-try, as is the foul with hummus. Have a shisha after your meal for the complete Middle Eastern experience.

Rumah Makan Minang and  Sabar Menanti both Padang restaurants, share a common lineage: a single founding couple from Pariaman in Indonesia, whose descendants continued the great family tradition of serving masakan Padang to Singapore.

Coffee is easy to come by in Baghdad Street. But only one place on Baghdad Street gets kudos for serving the best teh tarik, or pulled tea: the tea-maker at this sarabat (Indian tea stall) pours the tea in a long spout, expertly mixing the tea and milk while creating a froth that can't be made any other way.
