Amazing National Geographic Store

My favorite picture

One of our friends and former Internet Marketing student of my husband took us to this amazing National Geographic store at Vivocity Singapore last Sunday. It’s like being in a museum. Or at a Indiana Jones movie set. This non profit organization store offers a wide range of shopping experience, ranging from clothes to books to artifacts. Vincent, our friend bought a huge, huge map!

There’s a climate control chamber that you can step into to see how long you can withstand the cold. It’s like a simulator where you can test to see how long you can stay at the North Pole or something. Frankly, I don’t like the cold, don’t like the feeling of my ears and fingers feeling frozen, so I didn’t try out this cold room chamber. I’ve lived in Kansas where it snowed every single year, and every winter, I just look forward to snuggling in my toasty electric blanket in my bed room with cable tv turned on to some cooking channel.

They have got great stuff for the outdoorsy adventures and the armchair adventurers.  The stuff so cool, my dad would have salivated at every Big Boy toy there is at the store, and promptly buy everything in there as well! They’ve got all sorts of super duper gadgets for kids as well. Stuff even Einstein will be proud of.

I like the National Geographic organization because they continue to inspire people all around the world to do better for our planet, while in the process, educate people on what needs to be done. I’m passionate about environmental issues and this organization cares too, so I luv em.

If you happen to drop by Singapore, go visit this wonderful place. If you want to know more about this shop, there’s an excellent write-up on this at http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/5848/national-geographic-store-at-vivo-city-in-singapore.html

I’ll stop here and let the pictures do the talking.

ps Vivocity is a crazy cold place. It’s tropical weather outside, but be sure to bring a sweater to the shopping mall as it’s freezing inside. You’ve been warned!
