Chinatown, Bugis Junction and Arab Street

Vivienne has walked her feet off today . We MRT'd to Chinatown and then Bugis and then walked through Arab Street, stopping for a cuppa, and I bought some more pashminas from Mahoco Impex at 51 Arab Street. Mabir Singh, who I met two years ago assured me that the cheapest pashminas all marked as pure cashmere or 100% Pashmina or 80% cashmere and 20% silk are not these fibres at all. They are generally cotton. He then showed me the genuine articles which feel great to the touch and light and have price to match their quality.. I really appreciated his honesty and discussion.
