So here's a possibly more helpful suggestion. My friend Benny does a lot of B&W photography around Singapore, often with a "retro" angle similar to what you may be looking for. Take a look at
his Flickr and see if anything catches your eye; if yes, I can probably tell you where he took it.
Sorry I was a bit strong. I really do enjoy your posts and should have realized that you were joking. I am in Singapore quite often and understand that what I'm asking for is hard to find. There is, however, a darker underside to Singapore that I find interesting. My photography is moving more in that direction. I looked at your friend's work. He is talented. Again, please accept my apology. I looked at your message at the end of a tough day. No excuse for bad behavior.
