title: "where to buy postcards in Singapore"
---
I joined Postcrossing last month, and I've since been keeping a look-out
for places that sell postcards, on this tiny island in South-east Asia.
I list a few below. Do you know of others? I hope you and I can add to
each other's knowledge! :slight_smile:
### the usual suspects: souvenir shops
- somewhere in Kampong Glam (near Sultan Mosque)
- somewhere in
Chinatown
- Raffles Hotel
- National Museum of Singapore
- the shop
called Arch, in the shopping mall called Capitol, near City Hall MRT
Station
### on the art-sy side
- National Gallery of Singapore
- a pop-up bazaar called Invade, in
Esplanade Theatres
- Objectifs Centre for Film and Photography
- this
photographer, [Christine
Nagel](https://www.christinesartventures.com/and-more), has been
shooting various sights in Singapore, and sells her own photos as
postcards.
### unexpected postcards
- the (alcoholic beverages) bar called No. 5 Emerald Hill provides postcards, and mails them out to international addresses, free of charge. You can buy a drink if you feel paiseh. (Information accurate as of late 2019).

_P.S. Update, as of 23 December 2021: I've just terminated my account at https://www.postcrossing.com/ as I fear that sending postcards around the world may damage the environment._
