About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to East West Bank and asked the guard, ‘Do you know why they say this place is haunted?’ The guard shook his head, puzzled. The driver grinned and whispered, 'Because every time someone tries to count their money, it ends up in a different language!' They both laughed, and the guard went back to his post, muttering something about never being able to trust foreign currency.

2. At night, a strange humming sound could be heard coming from inside East West Bank. Employees thought it was just an old safe warming up, but customers swore it sounded like someone playing the violin. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate marked ‘violin’. When he opened it, out popped a tiny mouse fiddling away on a miniature instrument. The whole bank erupted in laughter as everyone watched the little musician serenade them for five minutes before scurrying off. Since then, whenever anyone hears that mysterious humming, they smile and say, ‘It’s just our furry friend practising his violin again.’

3. At dawn, a jogger passing East West Bank noticed something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. Curious, she peered inside and saw only empty counters and closed doors. But then, from behind one counter, emerged a sleepy-looking teller holding a steaming pastry bag. ‘Early morning snack?’ he yawned, offering her a warm croissant. The jogger smiled, shook her head, and continued running—leaving behind an East West Bank with a new daily ritual: breakfast for its employees.’

4. In the early hours, a security guard patrolling East West Bank noticed an unusual item in the parking lot: a small, glowing orb that seemed to follow him as he walked. Curious, the guard picked it up—it felt warm but not hot. Suddenly, the orb started humming softly and changed color from blue to red. Startled, he dropped it, only for it to land on the head of a delivery driver who was just pulling up. ‘What the—!’ exclaimed the startled man, rubbing his head. The guard laughed nervously and explained, ‘Must’ve been one of those new security gadgets.’
