In the UK we always went to car boot sales. In Singapore, the local don’t like this type of ‘junk’, but I found one amazing junk yard, a big hall full of amazing stuff. Not cheap, alas. Still in shock of the old dusty egg jar I saw standing outside in the rain. 300 dollars…he wanted, no haggling on my hand got that down. My parents used to buy them in Malaysia for a few ringgit each…. Bargains and Singapore don’t go together. There are some fab antiques shops though, that make me drool, but remember to bring a big creditcard when you shop here!
