Customer Travel Tip: shopping, eat in a ship-restaurant
Liked: quite a "big" city compared to other places so there's more life in the streets. Really good place to go shopping, but the department store is build a bit confusing. Loved walking along the river, nice weather would definitely have been a plus

Customer Travel Tip: Food is expensive i must say, but like i will always do everytime i travel and have little money to spend....always think about popping to their stores wherever and spend reasonably on food stuff which will last you for the rest of your stay, otherwise, eating out and buying ready made food e.g resturants, fast food wil drain you faster than you least expect
Liked: friendly people, quite city, unlike london..lol I must commend the staffs i met in the bank when my travel money card was blocked from the UK. They took it upon themselves to make sure everything is sorted out with courtesy and respect as if i was there customer...that really did it for me.. "amazing"
Disliked: not too many options, shopping wise..
