Sharita is a fully qualified naturopath and herbalist, accredited with the Unified Register of Herbal Practitioners (UK) and she has qualifications from the UK and Australia. Call and make an appointment today!
For beautifully illustrated children's books based in Asia, check out the selection at Sunbear Publishing. There is a brand new title out called "Turtle Takes a Trip" with part of the proceeds going to the WWF-Shamini, the author, is a regular at the fairs, so be sure to say hi and pick up an autographed copy!
We reckon the best bags in Singapore are found at Snatch Bags. I have had loads of comments on my bag both in Singapore and overseas.
If you're looking for wonderful antique furniture, statues and more from China, visit the lovely ladies at FairPrice Antique in Henderson Road. They also hold a bazaar once a month.
For coffee and tea with the feel-good factor head to Spencer's Coffee for your fair-trade, organic supplies.
New Zealand Sites
Travellers to New Zealand who are looking for a fantastic fishing experience should visit my uncle Dick Marquand, in Cromwell (near Queenstown). No fish, no pay!
