Dhoby Ghaut
Dhoby Ghaut is a place in Singapore that often refers to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station, a major interchange station on the Mass Rapid Transit of Singapore. Dhoby Ghaut or ''Dhobi Ghat'' (Hindi: धोबी घाट) (Punjabi: ਧੋਬੀ ਘਾਟ) (Tamil: தோபி காட்) literally means ''washing place'' in Hindi, from ''dhobi'' "washerman" or one that does laundry and ''ghat'', generically meaning a large open space. As a place, Dhoby Ghaut lies along the eastern end of Orchard Road. Above the MRT station there is a shopping mall, called Plaza Singapura. ==Etymology and Early History==
Until the early 1900s, the ''dhobis'' used water from a clear stream that flowed into ''Sungai Bras Basah'', now Stamford Canal. This stream is the large drain beside Handy Road. The ''ghats'', or steps leading down to the stream, was demolished when ''Sungai Bras Basah'' was canalised. The ''dhobis'' would then dry the laundry at Dhoby Green, the open park bounded by Stamford Road, Handy Road, Bras Basah Road and Prinsep Street. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dhoby Ghaut」の詳細全文を読む
