Any advice or tip how to proceed to those places (Bras Basah, etc) from the airport (by bus, train, etc.) and where to exchange USD to Singapore $ for better exchange rates.

I plan to stop over for a few hours on my trip home this June.

Thanks! :-)

All brand new bro.. ang alam ko lang na nagbebenta ng secondhand na gamit is Cash Converter, pero usually Amps and Guitar lang binebenta nila, tyka karamihan binebenta doon eh d kilalang brand and crappy pa..
Tama c sir eric mura rn nga mga items sa forum nila.

May stores na nagbebenta ng non-new items (i.e. 2nd hand) sa Peninsula at sa Bras Basah, pero hindi pa din sila mura.

From Changi Airport take the East-West MRT to City Hall (approx 30-40 minutes) then walk 2 blocks North along North Bridge road to get to Bras Basah Complex.  Walk 3 blocks South along North Bridge road then turn right along Coleman Street to reach Peninsula/Excelsior on the left, just after Funan I.T. Mall.

I don't know any recommended money changers, but there are some booths at Peninsula Plaza as you walk towards Funan I.T. Mall.

+1 on Blackwood Guitars.

I got my Pedaltrain there which was on sale for a really good price - even cheaper than US prices. Great staff and gear. Just as GS said, Peninsula Shopping Complex and Bras Basah are the good places for gear. Happy hunting Romy!  :-)

Mahirap mag-uwi ng guitar as hand-carry kasi it will not fit the overhead stowage compartments. Check in sya dapat kaya dapat hard case ang gitara mo to avoid damage.

Food....mura lang food. I mean relatively speaking. nakaka-kain ako ng full meal duon for 3.50 to 5 SgD la nga lang drinks. Saka wag ka lang maghanap ng lobster...yari ka dun hehehe.
