Hello everyone. I'm planning to visit Singapore in this week to buy a guitar or two. I've saved money for a long time for this. Could you recommend me some good guitar shops and also some cheap and safe place to stay. I'll be in Singapore for 4 days. Thanks. :)
 
DHOBY GHAUT mrt area:
yamaha located at plaza sing
guitar gallery located at parlane mall
sinamex located at parklane mall
city music located at peace centre

CITY HALL INTERCHANGE mrt area:
swee lee located at bras basah complex**
davis located at peninsular shopping centre
guitar77 located at excelsior hotel
guitar connection located at excelsior hotel
maestro located at excelsior hotel

hey hope this helps. :D
 
what's your budget like? [for places to stay].

In singapore, practically everywhere is safe. Just avoid places like Geylang, which is the red-light district. :]

if you're on a tight budget, you could try a backpacker's lodge. there're quite a few around. I don't know any prices though. hahaha. hope this is helpful! :wink:
 
My budget is about 30-40 USD per night. But please tell me a place which is near to the shopping areas where I'll buy my guitar from.

P.S. Why is the red light area unsafe? Aren't they usually harmless?
 
yea i guess but theres so some crooks over there so they might juz grab u into a corner and anal u and take ure cash or somethiing away..juz try to avoid it at night during the day time its ok

Thank you very much friends. And, Sorry! I'm a guy.

Thanks everyone once again.

Yes Star I'll PM you if need be, Thanx.

P.S. I've heard rumours that prostitution and child prostitution is a common thing in Singapore. Is it true? How is the police there? And how friendly are people with tourists?
 
hi steam

which country are you from?

singapore is an amazing country! one of the safest, i feel. child prostitution, if caught is a very very serious crime. i dont know what's the punishment because i never heard of such case.

i am sure you have heard about the kid who was cane for vandalizing. not just a slap on the hand mind you.
