Book Description
of a Naval family.
From the Back Cover
an idyllic experience.Thousands of children of Naval personnel will have
the same fond memories of their time spent there as I have.
Who could forget the constant hot weather or the strange smells that you
only seemed to find in the Far East. Who could forget the heavy monsoon
rains, chit-chats or Tiger Balm Gardens?
Other memories will include the markets, hawkers, amahs and snake charmers.
Shopping was an experience in itself. Bartering was a way of life and
anyone who lived there at the time would remember CK Tang's and Change
Alley.
Going to school to just 1pm because of the heat and spending the rest of
the day on boat trips or at the beach was wonderful as were all the
fantastic toys that were available at the time.
I hope this book reminds many people of those far off sunny days of their
childhood and I hope it also brings back lots of happy memories.
