What is that one thing which is best done in Singapore only? Yes, you got it right. Electronics Shopping. Shopping is like a national activity in the country.

Once in a year, Singapore becomes the hub of the South East Asian IT market. The Suntec Convention Center holds the show for over 4 days.

It is open 24 X 7, and you can buy practically everything from here. Whether it is an latest Apple product, a jacket, or some Turkish spices, you can have them all here.

For electronics, you are even allowed to remove the packing and see the real stuff. If you don't like, just simply walk away.

4. Lucky Plaza

The place looks illusory with hordes of electronics and gadgets shops. Here, you can find a good deal on electronic items, but you have to practice extreme caution. The key is in bargaining. If you can bargain, you can get a pretty good deal. Ask for a price lower by 60-70% of what the shopkeeper is asking for, negotiate, and only settle at what looks a realistic price. And also don't forget to check for the original and authenticated stickers on the goods you buy.
