Re: Singapore 大眾書局
Hi TH, gigi2,
We are just back from Singapore. Very tiring as we needed to get up at 4:30am to catch the 6:50am flight.
This is our itinery:-
1st day: Sentosa, hotel swimming pool, dinner at friend's place
2nd day: Orchard road (bookshop), Clark Quay and Boat Quay (stroll), China town (souvenir and lunch), hotel swimming pool, Night Safari and dinner with friend
Both Sentosa and Night Safari are worth to go, esp. for 1st timers like us. Our daughter likes the animal shows and different animals very much. BTW, Night Safari starts at 7:30pm and I don't see any limit for little kids. Actually, kids under 3 are free of charge.
About bookshops, we didn't really spend a lot of time checking out different bookshops because we had a tight schedule and the hot weather is not encouraging either. With such heat, we simply didn't want to walk in the street, didn't want to eat, only wanted cold drinks and go to the pool. Anyway, we found the colouring books (S$2.5~$3.9) and Ladybird series bed time story books (S$2.5) quite cheap compared to HK prices . But other brandname stuff like Sesame or Barney are more or less the same price, or even more expensive. E.g. I have a set of Barney books (4 in total) which I bought for HK$99.9 from Popular in HK. In the Singapore Popular, they sell one single book (exactly the same) at S$10.5. The VCDs are also of similar price compared to HK. So we didn't buy much. If we have to choose, we rather help stimulate our local economy.
Also, it is more expensive to buy from the Borders bookstore than from Popular.
Please also share your exp. when you come back!
