Yesterday and today have been rainy and hazy so it allowed a couple of down days for me. I’ve been fighting a nasty cough for the past month and I’m finally making some progress the past two days! No worries - no fever! So, I thought I would post some pics of Orchard Road from a sunnier day last week. Enjoy!

Intersection of Orchard and Scotts - an absolute madhouse!!!! You walk through underground tunnels to crossover to one side or the other.

A look at Ion Orchard from across the street - spectacular building! Inside is a huge mall and underground is the Orchard MRT (underground rail system) stop.

Ion Orchard is just to your right - look at the Christmas ornaments in the trees.

Santa at the corner of Orchard and Scotts; in the background you can see "ERP" - that means Electronic Road Pricing, a toll system. These are throughout the city.
Shot of Orchard Rd looking east - the columns are filled with beautiful, live greenery; as you can see they top it off with a fun snowman!
I had a good shopping experience on Orchard Rd. Although I bought expensive slippers, which was probably not the best idea. Hey, I was sleep deprived. What can I say?
ReplyDeleteWhen are you planning to go somewhere outside of Singapore? What is the plan?
Sounds like something I would do! I'm planning on a shopping spree on Orchard on Sunday and a second viewing of New Moon (hehehe - guilt pleasure).
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...outside Singapore - I don't know. We have decided to stay around here for Christmas but Malaysia is close so maybe we can pop over there for a weekend. The prices at Xmas are a little extreme for Australia, but we're thinking of maybe making a bit thing of that next year. We researched some really fabulous places!
