Some people worship Gods, some people worship sports figures, and some, at least in Singapore, worship shopping. This place is a Mecca of shopping. You can't walk 2 steps without being bombarded with sale signs and windows full of merchandise. We are both expert shoppers, so if we weren't going to all of these other fantastic countries you better believe we would be shopping like crazy here. So much so that we would spend all of our money and wouldn't be able to come back....
The worship of retail leads to another phenomenon...everyone here is so well dressed! It makes us and our dirty clothes feel a bit uncomfortable. Next time we go backpacking and it includes a stop in Singapore we will be sure to bring our Manolos and Gucci Sunglasses with us.
