Shopping, Singapore (reviewed February, 2005)

Funan The IT Mall – All the Geeky Stuff

Singapore is most probably the best place to buy electronics and computer gadgets. The latest models are available on a low price and there are plethora of shops to visit. The topmost floor hosts a bigger store that has the full spectrum of gadgets.

Any computing and PDA related item can be found in Funan IT Mall that has five floors of shops specialising to computers, both hardware and software. To be fair, there is one Christian bookshop and a few furniture outlets, too. The lower level has some cafes and fast food joints, but usually there is too much noise from game exhibition or similar, and you really can’t hang out in the cafe for extended periods.

Most of the stores display the prices and there’s no need to haggle with the sales clerk. For haggling, consider visiting Sim Lim Square. Asian manufacturers specialise in small gadgets that sport the same design. There is not much difference in the features, but some items are more reliable than the others. Check your clerk for suggestions, sometimes you may get an honest opinion.
