Let's face it: there are those days when you want to get out of the house and unwind.<\/a>\u00a0But what's there to do when you're sick of your neighbourhood malls and none of your friends is free? Well, fret not - we've got just the thing for you. If you fancy a solo hipster exploration<\/a> that won't cost anything (other than your bus fare), then you're in luck!<\/p>

Singapore is rife with rustic neighbourhoods and conservation areas that are rich with heritage<\/a> and vintage vibes. Get lost in your own country, wandering around and discovering the hidden gems these places have to offer. From traditional bakeries<\/a> to antique stores<\/a>, you'll be amazed at what you'll be digging up on your trip.<\/p>

So, pack your sunscreens<\/a> and cameras - we're taking you on an enthralling exploration through our little vintage dot. Immerse yourself in the Oriental ambience of Chinatown, housing old Chinese shophouses, many of which still retain their vintage interior and quirks. For a slightly more modern and upbeat trail, Haji Lane will do you no wrong with its line-up of boutique<\/a> stores and casual bars.<\/p>

Why are you still in your house? It's time to get out and get explorin'!<\/p>
