Day 4 - Little India & Orchard Road

Recovering from the big day yesterday, today was a nice and fun break. We started the morning outing by catching a bus out to Little India. Just seeing the first set of shops was enough to excite me for a shopping spree, which is NOT good DX. We were given 1 and 1/2 hours (I think) to freely wonder the area and take pictures. I went with a small group and we first explored an upstairs complex which had alot of Indian accessories, dresses and clothes for sale.









Afterwards, we wandered around the streets. There were many jewellery shops that sold alot of gold and bold Jewellery and yet the jewellery shops were owned by Chinese as this was evident with the staff working there and how the jewellery was displayed upon red.


There were also alot of those '3 for $10' shops around. I'm starting to notice that alot of shops try to get you to buy in bulk or quantities = ="

There were some beauty boutiques around, and they especially had henna. The first thing that came to my mind stepping into Little India was to get some henna art done on me.


This was a tourist we walked past getting henna done on her arm.

I wanted something cheap and pretty :)

One of the group memebers lead the way to this shopping complex called Mustafa Centre. The centre was like BHG + a supermarket + Lincraft . It was good to get into an air conditioned area for a while but the security at the door decided to oh so kindly seal my bags with some security wire. GREAT!!! and i don't have any scissors to free me bags either!
*BHG is like Myers or David Jones back in Australia


Our free time was up and we all gathered back to the meeting spot to head to lunch at a Indian restaurant.
Indian cuisine doesn't quite work well with my stomach and I really dislike curry but I still had to eat so I had Tandori chicken, which was a bit overcooked = ="
After lunch, we headed to the MRT station where we would be heading Orchard Road. I had been looking foreward to checking out Orchard Road. Though, it had to be gloomy wet weather and humid too =="

From this point, we were set free to wonder around and do as we liked for the rest of the day.
