The way he spoke with our Singaporean accent is so obvious in the first few sentences that it left me smiling . Glad that he's able to adapt to our way of life so seamlessly.
Thank you again n again for making these wonderful and insightful interviews Max! The stories and perspectives of Singapore life through these interviewees are a constant reminder that I as a local born should not take things for granted here. Appreciate more n complain less. Kudos to you! 👍👍👍
Singaporeans are too pampered and unappreciative.There are people who dislike and disagree with the gov policy but as you know nobody not even the gov can make everyone happy and so the gov caters the majority who accept their policies and for the minority please understand the Reason behind every policy.Some policies are like a bitter pill that we need to take to stay healthy..No pain no gain.
@@kuraphlau03Thank you! Did they know that SG gov received 200% application for SPR.Sometimes I wish those complainers should live overseas and taste the life over there.Is that country perfect? Coz no country is perfect but SG gov tries its best to give a better life for singaporeans.
@@kamariahabdrahim6963 Yes I also understand, I had read an article on Singapore Matters which was a pro PAP Page that I like that a Singaporean Girl went to US as she made a comment that US is more expensive cost of living and even food compare to Singapore. I also want to get Singapore PR too after completing my degree. Because Singapore Government did good thing for the people of Singapore and the Foreigners too especially the MRT. Then I read Singapore Matters that a lesson learned that Be appreciative of your country especially the little red dot of SG no matter who you are too.
The best interview ever Max… totally enjoyed it ! Keep up the good works 👍 If it not too late to say this .. Welcome to Singapore Mr. Andre and your Singlish is good 👍
Singlish is ugly, fast, and chaotic, but I love it! It's not just a language; it's a story. It's a story about people from the smallest country in Asia coming together to feed themselves and to take care of one another.
sounds SG local ... Eurasian local more accurately. He had a few good breaks... beautiful wife, fast allotment of his HDB flat because it was undesired by other locals, now probably 300% appreciation, $2 COE ... damn! ... But I dont think any one here would complain. He came here with best intentions,, worked hard, comes across really positive, really humble .... the best of us. ... enjoyed the interview ... another great find. ... btw is Petain St still around?
My grandfather used to live around Petain. My grandmother and him were separated so as a child she would bring me to visit him. Then the flat he lived in was near those Peranakan ones but they were low rise like Tiong Bahru’s. I only realised later on that it was around a red light district. I recognised the Bamboo bar or lounge or something (not there anymore) & that’s how I recognised the place as an adult. Serendipitously, hubby and I also worked freelance with a production house that used to be situated there. I remember near the alley where the hookers were, there was an ice cream uncle selling his ware from behind his bicycle. As a nod to our dating years, our Nonya heritage and a nod to my grandfather (that I don’t think my mum realises), I took my wedding photos around the Peranakan homes there with the beautiful tiles as our backdrop.
This guy seems like a good drinking buddy. Would love to have a drink with him. But it's sad that the beautiful Italian countryside is depopulating right now. There is a lot of natural beauty in those now deserted small towns.
Hi Max nice to listen to your comments. Totally agreed with u on sg drivers, they think this is their grandfather road! But of course not everyone lah.
Yeah I know petain streets . Many very old shophouse . But looks very dark inside , not much sunlight can gets into the shophouse due its narrow design. But very beautiful shophouse .
Malaysians are better driver haha, i kinda agree. In my opinion, I would say countries with chaotic traffic situations have better drivers than ours. Some of us tend to assume the road laws will protect us and treat the road as if its our own. I know i m guilty of that sometimes but when i drive overseas, I am extra careful and alert. So blame it on strict laws in sg, not us haha :P
Andrea said he likes Singapore for the no drug culture. 49 men were nabbed for drug party on national day. No drug tolerance in the past, and we will continue to safeguard our people from drug addiction now and future.
Hi Max, I have been religiously watching your videos to gain perspective on Singapore before my shift back. A little backstory - Am a Singapore citizen, educated in Australia, and for the last 7 years, I have been working in Banking in Sweden. Having been in Sweden, somewhat adapting to the culture (i.e., work, lifestyle, and behavior), I realised (maybe wrongly so), the perspectives from vloggers may not be insightful. Most vloggers are either (1) locals that may not have worked/lived overseas, (2) foreigners that are not in full-time employment with larger corporations, or (3) vloggers that had moved to Sweden for their partners without a full-time employment. It will be great to gain a perspective from Swedes that have worked (for a substantial period) in both Sweden and Singapore.
everytime if there a angmoh speaking with the singaporean accent, the gears in my head always stop turning. most of the time you come across an immigrated singaporean angmoh, they sound like where they come from (nothing wrong with that). I'm like having goose bumps hearing him speak, and "one of us" keeps chanting in my head hahahaha
😂😂😂 IKR. The "one of us! One of us!" Thing just hits. Esp when we know that Eurasian is the 4th official race. But bcos we rarely see them in typical neighborhood our brain like become mindblown.
@@RonLarhz haha yeah. this applies to anyone outside of the Malay, Chinese and indian, diaspora. Like the African family in Singapore, their children speaks singlish, my brain couldn't function for a second LOL
Max I urge you to ask each person you interview what qualifications and work background they have to get the PR? it will help aspiring professionals to understand the visa pathways better
Subscribe to this channel if you want me to drink vodka every interview

@@kuraphlau03 very expensive leh just for your info, you need to hire a limousine to get him😅😅
@@glennchua9043 Just Take the MRT lah Siao Bo
The way he spoke with our Singaporean accent is so obvious in the first few sentences that it left me smiling . Glad that he's able to adapt to our way of life so seamlessly.
The moment Andrea's Singaporean accent was heard, I felt connected. Humorous guy. 👍
Thanks Uncle Andrea, for making Singapore your home.
An expat that chose to lived in a HDB.Respect! 💙🇸🇬
Thanks bro for respecting me also 😂
Immigrant, not expat. Just because they're white doesn't mean they're special
Mr Max, admit it, this must be your most enjoyable interview yet... Part 2 please mr max
this guy truly singaporean soul. salute 🫡🫡
Wow I was not prepared to see not only Andre but the house I lived in for years. Brings back a lot of memories
He is very humorous, great guy
Imagine an Italian speak singlish. Bravo!😂😂😂 👏👍 Perfecto!

I appreciate of your Country Singapore more than Malaysia.

@@kamariahabdrahim6963 Yep I also agree too. Actually As a Malaysian I feel appreciated of living in Singapore.

it’s really nice to hear his singlish accent , it’s how we identify locals I guess, even when we are overseas 😊
Italian Singaporean Uncle is awesome.
I've never heard such a strong Singaporean accent mixed with Italian rolling Rs. Amazing.
I was listening to myself, actually i can get my typical Venish slang mixed with SingLish
and i have never heard of COE that is 2 dollars in 2008, anybody can check it out?
@@richardkanna5093 Google it. First result.
The best interview ever Max… totally enjoyed it ! Keep up the good works 👍 If it not too late to say this .. Welcome to Singapore Mr. Andre and your Singlish is good 👍
Thank you! Will do!

Great to have you as one of us Mr. Andrea. Put a smile on my face while watching your interview. Great sharing btw!
Mahjong table behind! This uncle the real deal!
@@impopquiz I can play MJ too, and i learned to play back in Italy, but I am too slow for my wife standards... i gave up
@@andreabettoni2527😂
True though, I can’t handle slow too. Try again with when she feels the “itch”. 😅
Love this Italian man speaking like our locals!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like u very much. I appreciate your channel alot. It makes me aware of how foreigners perceive Singapore and their own country. It opens my eyes. ❤

Wow!
So local and Singaporean....so cute!
My grandfather used to live around Petain. My grandmother and him were separated so as a child she would bring me to visit him. Then the flat he lived in was near those Peranakan ones but they were low rise like Tiong Bahru’s. I only realised later on that it was around a red light district. I recognised the Bamboo bar or lounge or something (not there anymore) & that’s how I recognised the place as an adult.

Would love to see more interviews like this. Another great one!
He has a strong singapore accent. Welcome! Forza Italia❤
A welcoming country and makes people feel welcomed
This guy seems like a good drinking buddy. Would love to have a drink with him. But it's sad that the beautiful Italian countryside is depopulating right now. There is a lot of natural beauty in those now deserted small towns.
Such an interesting interview ; glad that Andrea found Singapore as his home !!
Like Andrea, so funny and local 👍👍👍Tks Max for finding another imported Singaporean
Oh my goodness, I want to meet him! I'm a Singaporean who studied in Venice!!
Looking fwd to part 2...
Such an interesting interview!
Max, you need to practise your wa lao eh, haha. This Italian has totally integrated into the local SG community :D I felt the interview is too short!
Really like his local accent ❤😂
Power Sir! 👏🫡
He is a fun guy to be with....😎😎😃
Exactly, as Andrea said at the minute: 3:48 onwards, then from the minute: 7:00 (in terms of how italy is safe, or not). Agreed.
His accent is so interesting, Italian with singlish grammar 😆
this ang moh uncle singlish is damn powderful sia!
Can i say.....coming from a pure breed Singaporean.....Uncle Andrea is way too Singaporean with the way he talk.
Awesome!
His accent is very Singaporean with some Italian cadence. So charming!!!
Dam his singaporean accent is strong.
I love this Italian Singaporean , down to earth guy😅😅😅...
Cheers to you Max, not bad lah, still got vodka from your interviewee, you deserve it for the hardwork of your video production.. Enjoy...
Hi Max nice to listen to your comments. Totally agreed with u on sg drivers, they think this is their grandfather road! But of course not everyone lah.

Yeah I know petain streets . Many very old shophouse . But looks very dark inside , not much sunlight can gets into the shophouse due its narrow design. But very beautiful shophouse .
This man is a Singaporean! You can’t unhear it!
what a fun interview to watch!! more of andrea please
These interviews tell us how little we know about our small island country.
He speak Singlish like a local , and his accent … oh my
wow ! amazing interview ! what a cool guy ! :)
Interesting guy. Like his humour. ❤
Well done! Singlish at its best from an Italian!😁
Uncle Andrea, your Singlish damn zai! Power siak!
Great interview.
Great content! What a nice chap Andrea is.
Suddenly, he went from Andrea to neighbourhood Uncle Andrea! 😂 love it.
🎉I hope he is my neighbour . He is so nice..❤ his story.
👍👏🙏Thanks for sharing. 😀
This dude goated
grazie amico!!!
Like him very much..and you too.
haha.. Without looking at the video, he sounds like a true blue Singaporean with the accent!.. haha
Love him
If I was not watching the video I would not have guess that Andrea was an Italian just hearing him speak
there was an Italian in this video ? lol
wah his singlish accent is so strong ♥ almost feel odd/brain disconnect when i watch lol
This chit chat is the top one so far for me Max! Awesome lah you Andrea! 🫡
He really sound like the pak cik at my block lol...
As a local he is singaporean wahaha.
his accent is a fusion of sinngaporean and italian.
👍👏💪🇸🇬
Interesting guy!
Malaysians are better driver haha, i kinda agree. In my opinion, I would say countries with chaotic traffic situations have better drivers than ours. Some of us tend to assume the road laws will protect us and treat the road as if its our own. I know i m guilty of that sometimes but when i drive overseas, I am extra careful and alert. So blame it on strict laws in sg, not us haha :P
I honestly thought the thumbnail was a photo of Max using an old man filter 😂
😳😂
Andrea said he likes Singapore for the no drug culture. 49 men were nabbed for drug party on national day. No drug tolerance in the past, and we will continue to safeguard our people from drug addiction now and future.
Such a fun interview. BTW, Max, you need to practise your wa lao eh more. Not local enough. 😂
@MaxChernov you are so popular until scammers are starting to use your fame to scam people. ☝🏻

if you have anyone in mind, lmk!
Why is he the only one that embraces his Singaporean accent 😂
Most enjoyable interview Max. Andreas is a humorous guy...he doesn't sound italian. Was that Andreas wife earlier.?..she look serious 🤭🤫
Yes. She seems funny also haha. She offered me vodka actually 😂
As Malaysians, I'm proud he chose Asia 🙌

@Syn741 If I'm not mistaken they are family of SPR.Their children are 2nd generation PR and they have decided to become singaporean.
Andre has many great friends.
13 good for Cantonese too!
U are now already a Chinese. U speak like us. 😂😅Beautiful keep it up 👍
CHINESE??? Do you know what that means?! Goodness.
Cute.😂
Would love to see interview with him and his wife!
I wouldn't be able to tell he is Italian had I met his on the streets before seeing this video.
Max I urge you to ask each person you interview what qualifications and work background they have to get the PR? it will help aspiring professionals to understand the visa pathways better
Someone came up with a brilliant idea to tax the Italian overseas 😂😂😂hahaha
By the end of the interview... Max is drunk..hahaha
😂😅
I am a 63 yo natural Singaporean and his Singlish is much better than me, 😂😅😊
