SINGAPORE is a shopper’s paradise for luxury goods, electronics and health products. Shopping is regarded as a “national pastime” of Singaporeans so join the locals as you head down to the shopping malls, arcades and night markets at the major shopping belts of Orchard and Marina Bay.
Suburban shopping spots include Tampines, Woodlands, Toa Payoh and Jurong, to name just a few, and it is in these areas that you get a closer look at Singaporeans going about their everyday life.
Visit Geylang Serai, Kampong Glam, Chinatown and Little India if you are looking for ethnic wares to bring home as souvenirs; check out the local flea market at Sungei Road for curios, vintage electronic goods and political memorabilia.
Yes, you are likely to shop till you drop, but remember that before you leave Singapore, ask for a tax refund on your receipts. You can claim back cash at a few shopping malls in the city, or at the airport to spend at the duty-free shops before your flight.
