So i'm just back from a couple of weeks overseas. Yep, had an amazing time, thanks for asking ;)
I couldn't resist dropping in to some aquarium shops on my travels and knew you guys would enjoy seeing what's out there so here's some pics.
Before i left i took the opportunity to ask shaiful (one of our Singaporean members) if they had any recommendations so thanks for your help. I only managed to get to one of the shops you mentioned.
My appologies for the at times very poor quality photography. Lighting was extremely difficult to contend with.
Compared to prices here in Aus. it was painful to see how cheaply things could be bought elsewhere let alone all the amazing fish that we simply can't get here.
All prices are in Singapore dollars so $10sgd = roughly $7.70aud.

The shop:

I know alot of the stuff isn't exactly rare or anything but the prices just blew me away.
Sadly no L's :(
Awesome shop otherwise with all the good gear (Eheim, Seachem, Hikari etc). The owner and staff are great and very acommodating if a little camera shy, haha! I couldn't resist buying a few things even though my bag was already overweight. If you ever head that way be sure to drop in: POLYART AQUARIUM, Blk 328, Clementi Ave 2.

Didn't realise how long this was going to take but give me a week or 2 and i will post some pics from Korea :)

Hope you all enjoy ;)

No! Who's auntie? Lol!
They were a great bunch though. I had a friend with me who could translate so it was interesting on both sides comparing the differences from country to country.
