Women of Ireland - prepare to drool! Singapore is great for shopping all year, but especially so around Christmas. They don't just have sales after Christmas, but before it as well.
Herself dragged me around a large shopping centre yesterday, where discounts of 30% were commonplace. In one shop, I managed to pick up a nice shirt for about €1.50, although that also with the use of a voucher I had gotten with a previous purchase there!
Mostly, however, I trailed around after herself as we went from one shop to another. During a sojourn of seemingly indeterminate length in one particular boutique, I was thoughtfully offered a chair by staff while I waited. That was much appreciated and I actually nodded off on it at one point!
Another interesting thing that they do out here is that some retailers give you special deals in your birthday month. Some actually send you out vouchers in the post. Obviously, they have to have your details for this to work! As herself was born in December, she qualifies for some extra discounts in certain shops this month. Quite a good idea for generating sales, I think.
