The Great Singapore UN-sale

I was recently in Singapore, during their annual Great Sale! What a laugh. I looked at housewares and men's clothing. Everything that I saw, even in local stores away from the malls, was way overpriced. Not one decent price around. Actually I told local Singaporeans to save their money and come to visit New York instead. During May and June, many stores here in New York have truly great sales on summer clothing, beach and bathing wear, etc. Singapore zeroes out for shopping, in my book. I just stick to souvenir items. Nothing else there presents good value. Of course, YMMV.
