Big Day in Little India

Saturday, November 28, 2009
Singapore, Singapore
From western splendour to an Indian experience today...

Three temples, an Indian vegetarian lunch and the entire day in Mustafa's - an Indian-owned six level department store occupying an entire block . Fascinating! Packed with stock and people...

And amazing things for sale... Lengths of sari fabrics, jewel-encrusted ladies Punjabi tops and pants, regular men's and women's clothes, Asian furniture, gold chains, gold rings, gold watches, technology laid on, appliances, a supermarket, a chemist store. Even a burgundy-coloured LG washing machine with black floral patterns and diamantes!

It was another amazing eight hour day of retail and I could have kept scratching. But the girls were fading. It was home time, a quick meal across the roundabout at Newtons Circus Hawkers Market.

And an early night.
