1. Mustafa Centre Mustafa Centre is one of the most popular places to buy souvenirs because it's like a large, super-stocked department store. You can find almost anything you need here, from traditional snacks and chocolates to perfumes and skincare products to Singaporean souvenirs.

Pros: · Very comprehensive selection (one-stop shopping) · Competitive prices and a wide variety of products · Open 24 hours (very flexible) · Tax refunds available, perfect for bulk purchases Cons: · The place is quite crowded and crowded · The layout is a bit confusing, so it takes time to find items · Not very aesthetically pleasing for photos or content 👉 Perfect for those who want to shop wholesale, conveniently, and have everything in one place ⸻ 2.

Along the road, especially in the street market area, many shops sell souvenirs such as fridge magnets, key chains, small bags, pouches, and cute knick-knacks at relatively affordable prices. Besides shopping, you can also stroll around and take photos, as the vibe is very unique.

After spending some time in USA, it’s quite unusual to visit DC, as most of museums here are free, like Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. It’s really gorgeous, me and my company we loved the exposition and spent here 3 hours. Many of items here are not just “some plane”, it’s literally historical artifacts like Flak-Bait and Discovery. Especially this place be ideal if you having flight late or stayed after the flight to/from Dulles Airport. 10/10, would be seeing it again.

#holidayitinerary Located at 14390 Air and Space Museum Pkwy, Chantilly, VA, this Smithsonian treasure is a paradise for aviation and space lovers — and the best part, admission is free (parking $15). Open daily 10:00–17:30 (closed on Christmas), it houses legendary icons: the Space Shuttle Discovery, the Enola Gay B-29 bomber, the SR-71 Blackbird spy plane, and even the Wright brothers’ aircraft and Apollo 11 command module. Getting there from D.C. is easy — take the Blue/Orange Metro to Rosslyn and hop on bus 5A to Dulles, or transfer via West Falls Church to the Washington Flyer airport bus, then a $1 Virginia transit shuttle. For the ultimate experience, start at the main exhibition hangar, explore floor-to-ceiling aircraft displays, then end your visit with a show at the IMAX theater for a cinematic journey through the skies. #WashingtonDC #Smithsonian #AirandSpace #TravelUSA #MuseumHopping #ThingstoDoUSA

Had the best trip in Virginia.

#AugustTravelSupportEvent The fact that you can see a lot of menus with kimchi in the US! Charlie's, the US Philly Cheese Steak franchise, has released a kimchi cheese steak! Kimchi, meat, and gochujang sauce are placed between the bread. Honestly, most of the fusion dishes I've tried in the US have failed, but Charlie's kimchi cheese steak was delicious! It felt like enjoying the harmony of bread and stir-fried pork. I don't think Korean pork lovers will be divided into likes and dislikes😍 #PhillyCheeseSteak #KimchiCheeseSteak #Charlie's #AmericanFood #KimchiCooking #Kimchi #UniqueFood
