The Chinatown Secret

Being old but young at heart, I thought I could try out a little fun with barcodes.  I am still trying to explore ways to make this fun for anyone - residents, local & foreign tourists. Let our handphone (well, not all of them) do some work for us .. and tell us more about it. It could be a place, a thing or even a message!

So, anyone wants to share with me what's locked inside this? And better still, share with me (and us) your brainwave about how this box of black and white could make a tour of Chinatown more interesting. (^^)

You can use QR-Code reader software to read the bar code. This is what I got:
"Welcome to Singapore Chinatown Food Street. Find out more @ our website http://www.chinatown.org.sg/english/food_street.htm"

QR-Code Reader is available for most types of mobile phones including the iPhone.

This bar codes would indeed be very useful & fun for visitors to Chinatown. With the appropriate app visitors need only to point their mobile phones and read or save the code for future reference.
