See these trades before they are gone - Insightful trip learning about coffee roasting, bread making and paper craft. Sad that these trades may not be around in 10 years or so, but glad that I got to find out more about them before they are gone.

Enriching easy to do tour in SG - A short yet rich experience for half a day. Boon is knowledgeable and clearly personally proud of sharing these lost trades in Singapore.
A rare visit behind the scene
