Orientation
Bugis MRT station and the adjoining Bugis Junction mall are the landmarks of the area -- the mall comprises a sprawling collection of restored shophouses, and is a streetwear haven with a sprinkling of midrange shopping. Across from Bugis Junction, the hundreds of stalls at Bugis Street featuring local food, street fashion and accessories, provides an authentic shopping experience in the ‘heartlands'.
Walking north along Victoria Street or North Bridge Road, the dense and tall buildings of the city give way to a series of two storey shophouses, the vicinity in and around Arab Street. (A short walking distance from Bugis station and mall: head towards the Raffles Hospital and Golden Landmark Hotel). The quaint neighbourhood centres around the Sultan Mosque, where Bussorah Street, Arab Street, Haji Lane, Bali Lane, Kandahar Street, and Pahang Street run parallel to each other, all of them connected by Baghdad Street; each has its own charm, so be sure to explore.

the walking maps found at URA website are quite good... => we should explore singapore more yah... perhaps over the next few weeks or so... hahaha
Hmm...I could have lent you guys that book my aunt co-authored, Exploring Singapore on Foot or some such thing. It's never dry enough to walk around when I'm back these days.
