Pros: A different breath of air if you're comparing to NY or London, but enjoyable nevertheless. Also amazing how they managed to squeeze so many shoplots out of a meagre area. Cons: Imports, imports and some local things. Relatively expensive as well, providing you know where to shop. Nobody wants to loan you any more money to shop there the second time.

Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
This is a famous road known to many foreigners as the heart of Singapore. So why is this road that famous. Nope, it is not filled with flowers or anything similar to that.
