The picture below was taken across ION, a newly-opened mall in Orchard, Singapore’s shopping street. The ION mall is located right above the Orchard station. You can find Takashimaya and Tangs, among others along Orchard road.

Almost everyone I know loves going to Orchard because of the great bargains the malls there offer. But I don’t. I dread going there, to be exact. Not only because I don’t have a penny to spend, but also the place is so crowded! The MRT going to Orchard is always full and it is about 40 minutes away from my place.No matter how I avoid going there, I have to force myself, at least once a month. Lucky Plaza, an old department store, is in Orchard and many remittance centers are in that place. I could send money through Western Union but it costs a lot. In every visit, I go directly to Metrobank, drop by a Filipino store (there are many Filipino stores there) to buy Filipino goods, then go home. I usually take the bus home because I don’t want to go home standing all the way, even if it takes about an hour.
