Bamboo scaffolding by phil_uk_net
One of the things I like most about Singapore is the mix of old and new. It is a very high tech place but old technology works just fine in the right situation. It is quite common to see construction and maintenance workers perched on bamboo scaffolding.Bamboo is an incredible material. It grows quite naturally and the fact that it is long, extremely strong and dead straight makes it perfect for use as a building material.
