Mini and I visited Singapore a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. Great people, very friendly, safe city which is perfect for families to visit. We particularly enjoyed the Zoo (the best we have been to, and we have been to MANY), Sentosa (perfect day out if you want to relax, or have your children with you, and the various bars and restaurants of Clarke Quay. Highly recommended destination

Okay folks, I have just put together a mini city (country) guide for Singapore. You can see it all in the first post of this thread. As I have never been to this lovely country, the information I have listed may be incorrect or incomplete. If you are from Singapore or have traveled there before and are familiar, please send me a PM with any and all corrections or additions you think would be of interest to the other forum members. Thanks for looking and hopefully you all enjoy. Cheers

Great. I'm there in Jan, that's super useful
Glad I could be of service. Hopefully over the next month or two I will be able to flesh out each city with a similar amount of information for everyone. Didn't realize how time consuming this idea would become… :o

pretty damn accurate for someone who have not been to singapore, lando! i'll be back in singapore soon for the holidays.
i'll be more then happy to show you around if you'd like, giles. singapore has tons of great food for affordable prices! be prepared to gain a few extra pounds. by the way, chinese new year is on the 23rd of january. it would be a good time to make a trip down to chinatown then. it will be a great experience. -
Just_KC - Thank you. Good to know I wasn't too far off. Shoot me any and all info whenever you get a chance and I will add it to the list.
rocket - Not a problem, and thank you. Now, what city to tackle tomorrow?

there's suntec city mall where there is an official red wing outlet if you're interested. http://www.sunteccitymall.com
and, of course there's the marina bay sands, which pretty much is a casino + hotel + shopping centre all in one. http://www.marinabaysands.com
mainly high end fashion and celebrity chef restaurants such as wolfgang puck, daniel boulud etc.
apparently from what i've heard, evisu is opening an outlet there soon.

thought i should put this in here…
been a while since i last updated but today i finally made a long awaited trip to a new local store called Tuckshop & Sundry Supplies.
situated in a very culturally rich area unique to singapore, you will see that it is along the same stretch as one of the most important mosques in singapore. while it is an area with a rich heritage, sometimes it is inevitable that in a small but fast growing city, you see a but of modernisation in the area as well. TSS stocks brands like Mister Freedom, Dry Bones, Iron Heart, Red Cloud & Co, Railcar Fine Goods and of course also the Obbi Good Label leather goods. what caught my eye mostly was the californians. might pick them up in a couple of months pending funds but they are definitely a really attractive pair.at the end of this street you see the sultan mosque
small businesses growing into culturally rich areas are inevitable with the lack of space in singapore
mister freedom packaging is ace
californians
road champs
who doesn't like some good packaging?
iron heart shirt with some great texture
silverware
great snakeskin wallets
