Flashback to 2006. District 1, Saigon. So few cars on the road. Today, it's a very different picture. This said I am happy to confirm that both colonial-style buildings on
the left and the right are still standing today. Cheers, OtL

At left, Irun (Spain) and at right Hendaia (France). Both are cities of the Basque Country. In the middle the river Bidasoa.

I love Singapore but find it's a little too pristine and ordered to be really exciting in the way that say, Hong Kong is. Was? (Not sure anymore). But I have very fond memories of Singapore.
When I last went we really "pushed the boats out" and stayed at the Ritz Carlton. Expensive, but for 5 nights it was do-able. But the things I really enjoyed were things like being seated on plastic chairs at formica tables while having meals at hawkers markets and places like Zam Zam Singapore opposite the Sultan Mosque where they sell wonderful Indian-Muslim food delicacies like murtabak and roti prata. In fact come to think of it Singapore is a gourmand's heaven. I missed out on the Chilli Crabs. Oh well, there is next time.

BTW the old buildings in your photo's foreground look quite like the buildings in this part of Singapore around Arab Street.

I did not make many photos on this particular trip but did manage this one from the hotel. It is actually comprised of three images (maybe 4 shot in portrait format I cannot recall) stitched into a panorama format using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor (I.C.E.) app.
