  martinis are a dime a dozen, seems like they want us to be more of HK than Bali.

  so obvious..expats vs local.
  anyway, govt is always catering for high end products, which suits the expats..
  
  well, just hope they dont close the other flea markets

  I remember seeing some folks from clark quay went to china square and set their stores. The other flea market i went to was the Lime one at the Cineleisure and Tanglin Mall. So sad ... that time i went to Clark Quay so shock to me it is under renovation. Miss the days where i went rampage thru the old stocks.
