Is there K-Mart or Wal-Mart like stores in Singapore?

Fair enough, to clarify, no parking issues with the huge Makuhari branch which is like Changi Business Park in that it's away from the city center.

It would at least be good to have the choice whether or not to go.

It was a tongue in cheek rant. Blame it on the guy I got stuck behind going 1km/h the whole way through the car park at Novena yesterday.

I do not think Costco is suited to be situated in city center. More on the outskirt where density is lower. How is the parking in SG shopping malls? I usually take public transport when I am back. But on the rare occassions I go on car, parking seems tough. One time at People's Park, there was absolutely no parking spot after checking out several garages. My sister had no choice but park illegally knowing it will cost her $50 in fine ????? What is up with that?

Just to update you.

Parking in shopping malls in Singapore is a suicide mission. You go round and round and still unable to find a spot. And you play the staring game with the other driver while both of you wait for another car moving out of a lot.

Worse, in Plaza Singapura, if you accidentally opt to turn out of your spiral tube, just to find that there is no parking lot, you have to go all the way down before you can go up and try again.

The staring game

. How do you decide who wins (get the spot)?

The one who decides to quit staring and dive right into the lot!

Of course, if it was a woman driver, then after taking the spot, she ensures all her doors are locked and then makes at least one phone call, checks & replies to her sms's and touches up her makeup (even though she did all of those things while driving before parking!) just to make sure the losing driver goes on his/her way without causing a scene. (provided she didn't have an accident in the parking lot (that's statistically, where women have the most accidents).
