SINGAPORE'S CHINATOWN

Pros: A cultural view in microcosm.
Cons: Chinatown in Singapore is sorta...redundant.

As many of you who have read my reviews probably know, I have a fairly close connection to Singapore. I've had friends there since 1993 - a few Malays, but definitely most of my friends are Chinese (seeing as how Singapore is almost 80% Chinese anyway...) ...

Pros: Unique, delicious food, unique Asian trinkets/souvenirs/gifts
Cons: Dirtier than other parts of Singapore, there can be tourist traps

Pros: chinese atmosphere, a lot of things to see
Cons: very stuffy, hot

Pros: interesting to see the cultural stuff( especially during chinese new years.)
Cons: too crowded.

I have stayed in Spore for one year and this place is one of my favorite! It's a fun and also an interesting place to visit especially during chinese new year (ard Feb).

Ard chinese new year, there are always very crowded and packed with a lot of markets and also ppl who come to buy the new year stuff like `chinese sausages', `new year cake' (which is called `nian gao'), mandarin oranges, etc. You can see a lot of new year stickers wishing a happy new yaer.

It's really interesting to see all these stuff!!!!

not only during chinese new year, there are always a lot of cultural old shops selling folk dress, name chops. Some shops teach you how to write your name in chinese characters!! n ofcourse there are cheap massage salons (only 10-15 USD/h!!) if you get tired!
