Our last full day in Singapore. There have been quite a few things I have fallen in love with: Charles & Keith shoes, Kaya (a spread made with pandan leaves and egg yolks), and Capella. (Capella, where we are staying) is the new six star hotel that opened less than 60 days ago. ) There are a few things that I don't care for so much: Jack Fruit, $12.50 beers, and Durian Fruit (the most repulsive thing I have ever ate--yes, even after Sea Urchin).
I feel like we've been in SIN a lot longer than we were in Thailand, but it was actually the opposite. Today was Shopping Day. We headed out to the famous Orchard Road to get a real taste of shopping in Singapore during the Great Singapore Sale. The malls, one on every block and five alone on Orchard Road, are quite organized. By organized, I mean that store location is dictated by price. The top and basement levels are always food courts. After that, the lowest level is "budget" (GAP) and the highest level is "designer" (CHANEL). Erik and I stayed on the lower levels as they tended to have the actual Singaporean stores and stuff we can't get back home.
Many hours were spent in Charles & Keith today--to Erik's delight (joking). But three pairs of shoes later, I am quite happy and decided the chaos of the place was worth it. The store is a mad house--all the time, but I swear it is the most popular store in SIN.
