Adventures in Singapore: Chapter 2: Shopping Malls

Shop till you drop… Literally!  Singapore is a shopping City-State.  Malls are the thing.  The Country is only 274.2 sq mi, with a population of 5,076,700 people (which is just under size of NY city, with about 3 million less people) and it has over a hundred Shopping Malls many of which are connected to each other and most are linked to the MRT subway system and more being built – not to mention the additional shopping areas that are non-mall, market style or shop boutiques.  So as I read in the Singapore travel guides – a must do Singapore activity is Shopping – I didn’t realize it is a recreational sport here! 

The overall shopping experience is a very euro-amer-asia chic vibe - It is truly a designer country – designer brands and labels, haute couture, a love for details and high quality.  Retail is well designed and important – they are selling visually, after all selling is an art - you want to buy nice things when they are presented well – shopping it is an experience!  The restaurants are beautiful - even the mall food courts are well designed with great lighting and furnishings and attention to details - my snapshots won't do them justice. You want to dress up to go shopping!  Flow and traffic are well considered - overall the public spaces are thought through, buildings are interesting inside and out!  Every Mall has an amazing water feature: I am certain having to do with the idea that water features activate good chi energy, by attracting good chi into your life it enhances your luck with work and wealth (it’s a little more involved than that but generally you want some form of moving water around).  I probably passed many of these while we were driving about – but didn’t even know it!
