Like food trucks for shopping: 11 Mobile Stores to Visit. (Photo: Cookies N Cream, a DHL truck got the graffiti treatment to become a mobile shop for this New York-based men’s streetwear brand.

A really interesting take on approaching an authentically ethnic market in a different country. In this video, a travel blogger Sonia Gil takes a stroll around the Turkish market in Berlin’s Kreuzberg. A corner of the classic Berlin neighborhood where Punks and Turks have lived for years turns into a delicious market, and all kinds of Berliners come for produce and Mediterranean inspiration.

A rather interesting choice for a U.S.-based International debut, but we applaud it as more and more celebrities come out with their own perfumes.
Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck has been around in USA, but only now it debuts in Asia Pacific.
The fragrance is exclusive to the retailer’s Perfumes & Cosmetics stores in Changi Airport until end February. Changi is said to be the first airport to launch the scent in Asia Pacific.
Swift worked with perfumer Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan, who drew inspiration from the singer’s favorite memories and scents. Wonderstruck is a gourmand floral – top notes include freesia, apple blossom and raspberry, while the heart is made up of vanilla, honeysuckle and white hibiscus; base notes comprise golden amber, sandalwood and peach.

One of our favorite leisure (weekend) things to do in New York City - being that we live here - is to browse through winter holiday window displays at the New York oldest department stores in the city, like Bergdorf Goodman - an iconic NY department store. Most likely you’ve heard about this store at least once - perhaps, even in one of your favorite NY shows/films, like The Sex and The City. It’s just hard to imagine if you haven’t… Either way, we are here to share this kind of things with you - the local things and places that only a local might know.
So, last weekend, when the first snow finally came upon New York City and many New Yorkers flew to the parks and countryside to take advantage of the snow activities, one of our colleagues ended up taking a stroll down the 5th Avenue along the Central Park in hope to capture some snow activities. As a result, she did, but she also took some photos of the window displays at Bergdorf Goodman.
Bergdorf Goodman has been always known for having very creative, stylish and colorful window displays. And as you can see from the photos, they do have beautiful window set-ups. This year they’ve even decided to reflect on the Chinese New Year / Lunar Calendar by including a dragon figure along the mannequins wearing haute couture.
It turned out to be very beautiful and eye-catching images.You can see the full set of the photos either on our Facebook page, and/or here.
For more on the Year of Dragon, visit: Singapore Tourism Board and/or plan YOUR customized trip to Singapore via YourSingapore, which, by the way, has a very good compilation of the Chinese New Year celebration photos and other visuals on the site.
You can also get more information about the travel and local airports here at the Changi International Airport.
