Chanel is a very high end luxury brand (higher end than say LV or Gucci or Prada). They don't have online sales and don't advertise their price. They never have sales too. You can visit the boutique in Ngee Ann City or MBS to have an idea of the price in Singapore.

Yes yes! Must take the Beefeaters' tour at the Tower!
Maybe afternoon tea at Harrods after all the morning sightseeing to round up the day. But better make reservations to make sure u get a table. After tea, shopping at Harrods!

If everything is closed on Xmas eve and on Xmas, then what do we do ? Just stay in hotel ? :shock:


do you guys go on Economy class ? I am not sure if the kids can actually sit on the Economy seats for more than 10hr.

I thought of going to Zurich in Dec, but its going to be too cold, How about London ? Is it better weather there ?
