Singapore is known for shopping, which happens to be a personal favorite, and though most of the shops are very high-end (Gucci, Prada & Bvlgari to name a few), Chinatown was very unique and fun. We spent a day just walking the streets, looking at the old Temples and going through the stalls and wares that were being sold in the market. You can find many native handmade items, such as jewelry, bags, toys and clothing, along with some not so great things like coin purses made of frogs, and other oddities.
I didn't find the shop keepers as over-anxious as they are here in Manila, so it was much easier to browse and look for bargins. We also found that electronics are not as expensive there, and Steve managed to find a new toy, buying an HD video-camera, that also works as a still camera. He was in heaven with such a great opportunity to try it out!
Here are some pics of the temples. Brennan won't be happy about this picture, but too bad.
