Have you seen a Kampong before? Do you know if any of your family members lived in a kampong in the past? Ask them to tell you more about life in the kampong.
- What do you think are the similiarites between a kampong house and the house that you live in now?
- What are the differences?
Share your views with us. You can also look up the internet and download pictures of the different kind of houses people live in around the world. I have to see some interesting pictures and hear from you.

i have seen an kampong before but none of my family members have stayed in a kampong.
i think staying in a kampong is unconvenient as when at night the toilet is a distant away from the kampong.Also at during working time you have to have kerosene.
Puah Rui XianI think that living in a kampong is inconvinient as the toilet is quite a distance away from it and if you need to pee bat night it will be creepy. It is also mosquito infested and there may be snakes around. But I think that the goventment wanting to destroy it is wrong because it means alot to the other people and is a remembrance of the old times.
I think it will be a pity if things of the past are removed. We will have real connections to the past. I really hope that will preserve more history left in Singapore.

I think that staying in a kampong is inconvinent because the toilet is outside of the hous and when in the middle of the night it will be so troublesome.And you don't have proper light to study.And as the houses now in Singapore are much convenient and have proper lighting.

None none of my family live in kampong but in last year social studies we got learn....
I think that our HDB flat is much bigger than the kampong.For HDB flat the toilet is much closer than the kampong,it will be dangerous if we go to the toilet at night.Last time when there is alot of kampong people usally go to their neighour house to play....

I have never seen a kampong village before but I think I would want to visit maybe because my grandmother tells me what kampong life was like and it seem fun!
The similiarity between a kampong house and a HDB is that both are a place where people can stay and liove in.Differences are that HDB is slightly smaller than a kampong but aHDB has a indoor toilet.

i have never stayed in a kanpong before and think that living in a kampong is inconvenient because,when it is dark and u want to find the toilet which is very far from the kampong. when u are peeing, u night pee at the wrong place and have no water hose to drain it.
I know how it feels like when you live somewhere you're not used too like I live in a condo and my cousin lives in a HDB so I'm not really comfortable in his house.

I prefer staying in a modern house because it much cleaner than a kampong house and the toilet is very far away.IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.Also i don't want to end up in the toilet with a frog!!
