Orchard Road is very well-known to tourists for shopping. To get to Orchard Road, take the MRT to Orchard MRT. There are many huge department stores there such as Takashimaya and Isetan. For book lovers, there are two large bookstores located at Orchard, Kinokuniya and Borders. Kinokuniya is located at Takashimaya Shopping Center while Borders is located at Wheelocks place, which is the same building Mark and Spencer is located. A warning to all is the infamous lucky plaza, which is famous for selling unsuspecting tourists electronic products at very high price. The Paragon in Orchard sells branded goods while Plaza Singapura is a shopping center which sells a variety of goods. Beside Plaza Singapura is Istana, where the president lives and works. It is not open to public except for some public holiday such as labor day. At night, Orchard tower comes alive. There are many pubs and discos there for fun-loving people. Prostitutes will hang out around the building and try to attract customers.

A real treat is shopping in Orchard Road. Lots of shops, quite cheap if you are from the UK and bustling with people.
You may even see a film being shot in the streets! Theme: Other

I believe every country has only one road that has the best shops on it...if you agree, Orchard Road is this road in Singapore.
The shops range from national chains, international chains and soletraders! SO its nice to see such a large variety of shops!
I think prices were quite reasonable overall but the atmosphere of the road is what you want to see. The hustle and bustle of the city and also, the incredible heat you feel when you walk out of an air-conditioned shop!! ;) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Ok....since it is the annual sales going on right now in Singapore I ventured into the many high end shops around Orchard Rd., and boy was I disappointed with the prices......Prada shoes that cost $400 in the states cost $415 in Singapore, the sales people tell you you get back the VAT and it sounds like your getting a big deal but in reality.....$3 for $415 dollar purchase, is not worth it !!!!! Armani slacks $300 in the states....$350 in Singapore !!!!! A Gucci wallet $200 in the states ....$225 in Singapore !!!! So my advise is to look and compare prices.....the prices aren't what is cut out to be !!!!! The best part is that these shops are all next to each other, and window shopping is great !!!!!

Singapore and Bangkok must be the shop till you drop places of the region.. However I hate shopping and totally avoided evening passing through ORCHARD ROAD- however there are markets and small places everywhere where one could sample local sweets and foods. I especially enjoyed LITTLE INDIA area. One could see small shops which contain sweets as well as Indian products and vegetables for cooking on your own!
It is fun to explore small corners in back neighbourhoods and taste the local specialties in food for that particular ethnic neighbourhood
Singapore's prices are more dearer than the other countries in the region Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Well its not a specific shop but the nearest thing i can compare it to, is Oxford Street in London. You can walk along and you'll see any amount of different people, stalls selling a variety of different bits and bobs from jewelery, to designer clothes, to electrical items.
Id recomend buying electrical things, eg cameras and the like....
anything.... Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: singapore

The shop is fairly small on the outside but once you go in, it's filled with walls and walls of books. The prices are the very affordable. And Mr. Sunny is very enthusiastic in helping people out. They even warp every book they sell with plastic to keep the dirt out.

The bookshop looks a bit small from the outside but it is filled with books, comics and magazines inside. It sells very affordable books of all kinds. The people are extremely nice, especially Mr. Sunny who is quite enthusiastic. They even cover the books in plastic before selling it.
