Hi,
I just left the Far East Plaza, saw the greatest shop with a hat I am trying to locate...can anyone tell me what the name of this clothing shop is?
It was a shop that had a hat rack inside at the entrance in the middle dividing the shop into two sides. Clothes were hanging on the right hand side.
The hat was a wool fedora style in black and another one in olive green...I believe it was a local hat brand. I am trying to find that hat. It had 3 types of patches zig zag stitched on.
The brand sounded something like peoplerevolution or something along those lines.
Anyone know of this local Singapore brand?
I know this may seem like a very strange question but, I would love to find that hat.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much in advance.

I am looking for a very specific Singapore experience...not one like that...and I want to let you all know what I am looking for and maybe you can direct me in the right direction.

First I am looking for a decent hotel close to any beaches.

Second I want to know of a decent casino that has a Texas Hold'em card room.

Third and last I would like to be close to the night life, clubs/bars etc etc.

Basically I want to hang on the beach during the day, gamble some at night, and go to the clubs at night. Any help would be great.

Hi All

I just read a post further down regarding bringing cigarettes into Singapore and was wandering if anyone can clarify it for me please? Are you allowed to bring in cigarettes to Singapore and if so is it just one opened packet? Do you have to pay tax/duty on that packet when you arrive?

Also regarding smoking in Singapore, what exactly are the rules? Are you allowed to smoke on the streets so long as you do not do it near buildings and of course around other people? So for example, you stand well away from people? And also, which is a given I feel, do not litter your butts all over the floor rather place them into the bin?

I have tried too look up infor regarding this on the internet but can't find the exact laws. So if anyone has a website they could give me with the relevant info, I would really appreciate it.

We leave for Singapore Tuesday night and would like to know exactly what I need to do.

Thank you for your help.

We'll be flying into Paya Lebar Air Base, and staying on Sentosa Island. I know we can order a cab easily enough, but does anyone know how far an MRT or bus station is from the main gate (schlepping 2 kids + luggage)? This is a seriously, tigthtly budgeted trip, any idea what a cab would cost for 4 people, around 3p on a weekday?

Hello guys,

I am going to visit Singapore from 24-28 May. I finally decided to book Golden Landmark hotel from the Changi Airport as none of the travel agents in my country has channels to Golden Landmark. They can only book hotels which have agreement with Airlines.

The 4 nights charge of Golden Landmark Executive room is $485 USD (all inclusive) according to the hotels own website, (best available rate). My question is how much extra it might cost if booked from Airport? Do anyone have any idea? I can afford a maximum of $50 USD extra though I hope it wouldnt get to that much.

Any feedback on this is much appreciated.

Thanks

Can you give us some suggestion how to arrange the transport for below, please give me some guide that how much time spend and fares:

1) From KL LCCT airport to china town Swiss Inn hotel as I understand that Swiss Inn Hotel is very convenience to take bus/LRT/Montorail train etc.

2) From Swiss Inn Hotel to Genting Island.

I always take some Australian dollars when I travel overseas in case I lose my ATM card.

Where is the best place to exchange currency into Singapore dollars. I know banks can do this, but are there other money changers who give good exchange rates,WHO ARE THEY and where are they located.

Appreciate all replies.

Hello everyone,
I am flying on Tuesday to Bangkok, however, I will have a 12 hour layover in Singapore. I was thinking of leaving my luggage at the airport, jump on the MRT and then explore Singapore a little bit.

- Is a check-in with Tiger Airways early morning (8.00 am) possible, when the flight leaves at 18.00 hours
- Which MRT station is recommended to land up in city center
- Which MRT stations are for SIN highlights (eg Merlion, Raffles)
- Shopping: Since I will be flying to BKK, do you think that I can get cheaper prices in SIN? I need a new mobile phone, an Ipod Touch, and maybe some fake designer wear (Ed Hardy)
- Is SIN Airport Duty Free Shop cheaper than in city, eg for the Ipod purchase
- any recommendations for this coming Tuesday?
- any recommendations in general

Thanks,
Dissidium

Anyone know of any traditional japanese restaurant in Singapore?

Those that we sit on the tatami floor and have our food.

Sorry to make this a new thread. Is it a good idea to book a hotel upon arrival at the Changi Airport? Just checked the SHA provide this service at Changi. If I book from there will it cost higher than the rate shown in the hotel's original website? Or I can get a discount? Or is it same as listed in the hotel's website?

Thanks in advance

I am planning to travel Singapore later this month. I dont have a credit card for Internet Hotel booking. One of my friend has Credit card and he will be booking a hotel for me. Can someone please tell me if my friend (thirdparty) can book the hotel for me using his credit card? Or the traveler must have his own credit card for Internet booking?

Thanks

Hello all i'm currently in Singapore and i've been told in the past that it has markets where you can get all sorts of 'designer' items such as wallets, watches and clothes at cheap negotiable prices.

The problem is i cant seem to find any of these markets.

Can anybody help me with names and locations of such markets? That would be great i'm going home in a couple days and want to get some new things

Have found a good deal at the Intercontinental Hotel for May visit. Deal is pay in advance, must be minimum 14 days in advance, NO REFUND POLICY.

They state room size is 32 square metres, which is a good sized hotel room.

Is this hotel good quality, rooms not worn out, and good location close to metro train station, or is there a chance these special priced rooms are of lesser quality.

Address 80 Middle Road, Singapore, next to Bugis Street Shopping.

Appreciate all comments.

Does a US citizen arriving in Singapore need proof of return/onward passage?
The US State Department Consular Information Sheet for Singapore does not mention such a requirement, though they mention it on almost all countries where it is required. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

Hi, I am going to Singapore in November.
I would like to do shopping in Bugis at the markets & shops.
Are they open on Sundays ?
I would like to do shopping in Orchard Road too.

Bye
