Shopping
Shopping is cool when you shop at the correct time. Shop at the wrong time, and you'll have nothing to buy. Shop at the correct time and you'll have plenty to see.
Supermarkets: They are more or less the same as Singapore. Only they have a wider cheese, joghurt, sausage and dairy products selection. Also, they don't give you plastic bags. If you want to do your grocery shopping, you'll have to bring an empty basket or a bag along to carry all your purchases in. If not, you either pay for bags, or good luck to your hands.
Malls: Inexistant in the towns we were staying in. Available in Berlin and Marburg, the bigger towns. Zero in Frankenberg or Rosenthal. About the same as those in Singapore too.
Shophouses: Plentiful. Of course, european styled shophouses. Rather like Clark Quay. Exchange the bars for shops and you have the shops in Frankenberg and Rosenthal. Also, you can have things like a bookshop opposite a butchers. Its pretty cool to walk up and down the streets.
Markets: Available in Berlin every weekend. Different kinds all around. Most like Xiang Yang shi chang in Shanghai. Some like pasar malaams. In Frankenberg, there is a Pentacost Market every year. It's exactly like a fun fair joined to a pasar malaam. All very interesting. Rides very fun.
