Also, avoid Orchard Road. Though the shopping belt of the nation, there's really nothing much to see except malls, and more malls. Under the veneer of all that development shows a widening income gap and Gini coefficient. ION Orchard (which is built on top of open green land along Orchard Road) has the most branded stores which carries products that's out of the reach of many average Singaporeans. The Marina / SunTec Area is yet another miniature Orchard Road smacked in a few square kilometers and if you want to look at a dead, deserted city, try visiting the Cecil Street, Robinson Road, Shenton Way area - a testimony of bad city planning in which the most crowded areas in the day with the worst road tolls becomes a ghost town at night.

Welcome to Singapore.
