The Great Singapore Sale is on!

June is a pretty important month in Singapore. It is the summer holidays for schoolchildren, it is the hottest month of the year and it's the month of the Great Singapore Sale. I assume it was originally set up to attract even more tourists to Singapore, so they would actually come into town when on their way to Bali, Thailand etc. The first weekend of the sale is pretty hectic with coupons and fliers for deals being handed out at virtually all street corners.

I didn't really take advantage of it this year, and it's a shame as I'm pretty sure discounts were particularly radical due to the recession etc.

Anyway, this poster is not actually about the Singapore sale, but for a search engine promoted by Singtel, the local incumbent telephone company. I still felt it illustrated well some aspects of the sale.
