Deepavali (Diwali) Market in Little India Arcade, Singapore

Greetings from lovely Singapore! I've had a great day of shopping here, exploring the special Deepavali market and the Little India Arcade, and getting lost in the textiles and trimmings heaven that is Arab Street! My suitcase is now rather full!! (There may be more about my shopping adventure in Singapore in another post...stay tuned!)
