Bugis and Arab Streets

Entrance to the maze that is Bugis Street.
As many other big cities, Singapore has a plethora of it's little "districts" "towns" and "streets" - Chinatown, Little India, and Bugis and Arab Streets. We went to the latter two on two separate nights last week.
Bugis St is supposed to be representative of the "non-mall" -type of Singaporean Shopping. Lots of cheap souvenirs, clothes, street food crammed into densely-packed streets. Lots of twists and turns and people trying to grab the good stuff. Since we didn't go on a weekend when it's packed, it wasn't too bad and I was able to get a few souvenirs that didn't look too corny :)

Lamb Kebab on Arab Street = delicious!
Arab Street was also interesting - had lots of Turkish rugs and interesting fabrics. I definitely bought a few pretty things. Most importantly, they had Mediterranean food, which I LOVE and dearly miss. I had some delicious lamb kebab.
