UNDERGROUND<br />
BETWEEN ORCHARD<br />
AND SCOTTS ROADS<br />
Singapore’s signature shopping district<br />
starts right at the junction of Orchard and<br />
Scotts Roads. Here is where you access<br />
colossal shopping centres such as ION,<br />
Paragon and Wisma Atria.<br />
But popularity does have its downside. At<br />
weekends, the underpass that provides access s<br />
to all parts of the junction is jam-packed<br />
with eager shoppers. There is certainly a<br />
lively buzz as friends and family are so busy<br />
chatting they often forget to move at more<br />
than a snail’s pace. But if you tend to get<br />
claustrophobic around big crowds, avoid<br />
Saturday and Sunday afternoons or opt for<br />
one of the many other shopping districts.<br />

NGEE ANN CITY<br />
IN FOCUS //<br />
Ngee Ann City is an iconic<br />
Singaporean shopping destination.<br />
There’s Japanese department<br />
store Takashimaya, the enormous<br />
bookstore Kinokuniya and many<br />
high-end jewellery houses such as<br />
Cartier and Tiff any & Co. Brands<br />
such as Zara and Juicy Couture<br />
sit among toy stores, an electronic<br />
franchise and countless restaurants.<br />
But buyer beware — unless<br />
you plan to walk or catch public<br />
transport, expect a long wait for a<br />
taxi at the infamous Ngee Ann City<br />
cab stand, especially in the evenings<br />
or on a weekend afternoon. Plan<br />
your departure ahead of time as<br />
waiting in a queue for half an hour<br />
once you are laden with bags can<br />
spoil a positive retail experience.<br />
