  Gday!
  We are new to this lovely city and loving it. We are trying to find a bit of info on the youth culture of singapore. Basically my little sister would love to hit up some youth street fashion shops and some cool places. You know, where all the young kids go to buy their funky wares
  
  ANY!! advise on locations and certain districts would be massively appreciated.
  
  Thank you!
