Don't be afraid walking around the different communities, we stayed a week and walked many miles exploring the back streets, there is little crime and everyone was friendly. found gambling dens in underground car parks, people burning wads of prayer money, were invited into a slaughter house had great conversations in a junk shop where we were Christians, the owner was a Muslim and his friend was a Sikh, many cups of sweet mint tea while we put the world to rights.
Do go to the local market Sungei road on Google maps shows it in full swing.

Sounds right up my street Knightstyle. I find the places you just happen upon are the most interesting.

I think the Sungei Road flea market has been closed.

Slinga, there's a free daily shuttle too at one hotel, drop off's at Far East Plaza, & Village Hotel Bugis. I'll definitely be having a poke around the Plaza, I've read both good & bad reviews on that.

Can't help with shopping.
But with all the malls you don't need help.


I'd just say be careful if you want to buy electrical and go nowhere near Sim Lim Square for computer stuff as they are rogues at best.


There is big new mall just outside Terminal 1.
