thats for not studying history.. it was taught in the history book

Yar, this was taught in our history text! Everyone who went to secondary school knew.

That’s what you get for being an idiot, eh?

caleb not Singaporean mah. Can excuse him if he don’t know.

Actually, I think it was in the social studies book (in Pri Sch) instead of the history books.

it was also in the “amazing race”. when they went to the real dhoby ghaut in india

As everyone else here might have commented: Ummm, yeah. We knew what Dhoby Ghaut means.

Lazy cowboy…. you slept in class so much, its no wonder you didn’t know.
It was taught in Primary school…. my little cousins can tell me

Eh, I believe CB here has his secondary education in Malaysia. How would he know what Dhoby Ghaut is?

ccb only know KEDAI DOBI

I feel like a history nerd for being the only person who thinks my going to India in a few months will be a great thing because I’ll see “lots of ghats in Varanasi, and one of them will be for the dhobis“. And the other for cremating corpses. But anyway.

What Dhoby Ghaut means? I’m Malaysian. There are a lot of place here name Dhoby Ghaut or “Say Por Kiew”.

i saw one of them ghots for cremating corpses when i was in nepal. interesting, to say the least.

Caleb, you could’ve just ASKed a librarian. Shameless plug (ask @nlb.gov.sg) :)
