Shop 'til you drop-- the "National hobby"

In the last few days we've journeyed all over the island, from Orchard Road to Tampines Mall to Raffles City. I've mentioned Takashimaya... But we had to continue our saga to find the world's "best-fitting, most comfortable, and washable" dresses. (Admittedly I have bought a few myself and have exceeded the self-imposed yearly quota of 1 dress....)

But really, there are more Uniqlo stores here than in all of California. The island is the size of LA proper. There are like 20+ stores here! Also as a great side note-- you get GST and the prices are the same as LA (as in things that are sold for $49.90 in the US are $49.90 Singapore dollars-- sweet).

We spent a lot (too much) time in Isetan. What I personally can't deal with is salespeople who follow you. "Good service" here means that the lady will run around the shop and find you other things that you may like to try on and buy. Note: in Singapore, there is no return policy at most stores... You've been warned.

O.A.M.C-- these are dresses by a local designer. They're sold in Isetan (but if you can't find the things you want they do have their own store-- we found it in the mall that's connected to the Raffles City stop--aka citylink).

We've been told by one of my Aunties that we should look for Korean fashion clothing stores (there is one in the Jem mall). Stay tuned...
