Starting at Singapore he travels by road and rail through Malaya to Northern Thailand
'So much of life is lived on the pavements here... it's just like living in a busy backyard...' Singapore is roughly the size and shape of the Isle of Wight. Three-quarters of its two million people are Chinese, and in this evening's film Johnny Morris looks at Sago Lane, a street of 'death houses' where aged and infirm Chinese are taken to die. They sit and gaze at the coffin-makers, undertakers, funeral bands, and the many funerals that set out from the Street each day.
After dark Johnny visits Bugis Street which, as he puts it, is 'one of the best places in the world to investigate the mystery of the Adam's Apple.'
