Honestly, quite enjoy Steven's videos. I'm also super jealous that he managed to get at least a sliver of a taste of what Oktoberfest is like in Munich... I've always wanted to go and gorge myself on roast pork and beer and be sick for like 3 days from too much food and waay too much booze..
As Singaporean living in Germany; RBG , the big Octoberfest in Münich is cancelled again this year. Roast pork - not really my palate (too greasy N fattening) 😜🤪 Grill chicken is a better option for this Fest 🤓. Enjoy 😀😀😀
woah, the cost and test itself is quite high, just like the Thailand holiday scheme. unless you really need to be reunited with your closed ones overseas. the whole process can be anxiety-inducing & nerve wrecking. especially when waiting for the results.
There are just too many false positives in the tests. Moreover, if the test is conducted by the authorities themselves when they supply the kit, or observe the kit out of your own sight, they can easily fudge the result when they just do not like you, because of your skin colour, or if you carry the 'wrong' passport etc. In other words, they will take your money to conduct the test, but they have full control of the results, and the outcomes to use it against you. They can send people to compulsory 14 days quarantine (where the quarantine is paid for by the traveller himself) based on a semi-accurate test conducted by themselves, in order to help the hotels that have been converted to quarantine facilities (such as Conrad Singapore)
@@MAHTUOGG here’s a video of our experience flying to Germany. All-in our 6 day trip will cost SG$10k. As this is our first flight in 2 years, we chose to indulge a bit (eg. flying business class). The costs can definitely be lower. ua-cam.com/video/ELj22IC2-N0/v-deo.html
That’s way very expensive especially the pcr tests. I travelled to Europe last month but didn’t go through so much hassles. Paid only €49 for pcr test on my return flight. Upon landing in Dubai, the pcr is free for all ( tourists and residents) and result came in under 3.5 hours.
the worry of being infected with COVID and can't come back to SG without ur love ones with u would be a real concern for any traveller. Congratz the team for coming back safely!
Wow. It's really expensive to travel during the pandemic, which cost $2k excluding accommodation and food. And to tolerate getting swabbed for so many times. Guess probably it would be more worthwhile to travel after the pandemic but will have to wait a longgggg time.
When Steven got shocked that the test only takes 35 mins.. and the guy at the counter just rolls his eyes at his over-the-top fake surprised reaction.. cos we all know that was just a way for the German guy to explain how they don't need a lab now cos of advanced tech.
Unless you are a diplomat, celebrity, sports star, actor, minister etc. you are supposed to spend the rest of your life inside home making zoom calls with your boss and friends, and watching youtube videos to satisfy travel urge. Get used to it.
Wow, 5 PCRs in total. The cheapest I could find on google in Singapore costs $128. Including GST, that's roughly rounded up to $140. Multiplied by 5, that's $700. I don't think spending $700 just on testing is worth it.
That is too much work (and too many tests) for a single trip. Maybe this crisis is giving us a lesson, to slow down and enjoy the solitude or the company of our immediate family, relatives, friends and the simple, local destinations.
It sure looks wonderful when most of us like myself love travelling but there's a price to pay. Look at the additional charges to pay for this and that, you get frighten by it.
This shows that technology is a double-edged sword, better weapons=more devastating kills, better transportation=easy spreading of virus, better computer=now everyone has to fill in thousand of online forms. In conclusion, technology is the most convenient and most inconvenient human invention ever.
So travelling overseas in this time and age is more for the wealthy who can spend bucketloads to pay for tests, potential quarantining when you come back etc. Travelling is never going to be the same ever again. I don't understand why the airlines don't package the PCR tests and travel insurance as an additional charge over the ticket fare. They would anyways have to keep a conservative fare, and won't have a very high charge for tests and insurance too. Getting tests done from clinics outside might actually be more expensive in a sense since they charge differently for faster results. for example- Singapore to Germany via Singapore Airlines, with 950$ for the airfare and another 300-400$ for tests and insurance. That seems way more affordable and straightforward, rather than liaising with multiple parties for tests, insurance and airfare. It feels like capitalizing on the name of the pandemic and infection to do more tests. What are the self-testing kits for then, and why can't they be used as proof of +ve/-ve tests? If they are not reliable and trustable for international travel, then have they just been released to increase public trust in the local system of testing?
So, what will happen if the PCR test return as Positive before the flight back to Singapore? What will be the advice from the German Health authority? Put on Quarantine or hospitalize? Steve never ask leh..
Thank you so much for this helpful video! From the additional logistics of COVID tastings, cost, and risk of infection, looks like 2022 will be another domestic travel year. And an opportunity to save $$$$!
QUESTION: I've got a Sinovac Vaccine and if I wanted to travel to Germany and I know its not under the Recommended Vaccine list, how will i enter or what is the possible way or solution in entering Germany?
as long as you were in either Germany or Singapore for 21 days before you board the plane, you do not need to serve a quarantine. But this is only for specific VTL flights, not all flights are the same.
Oh god, so many swab tests to do in SG if you were to leave and come back to Singapore. In this video, they say that Germany has saliva test. How effective is this saliva test?
@@wongfrancis But honestly, based on the video based on his trip to Germany and back to Singapore, he had to take five PCR swab tests in total. To me, five swab tests, for a single trip to ensure a safe journey to all Singaporeans going to VTL countries, is a lot for me to handle. My nose would be very assaulted and insulted at the same time although I have done it once before and tested negative luckily...😧
@@nigelmorais7722 with the new heightened alert due to recent surge, it only makes sense for Singaporean to visit Germany not the other way round. With dining only for 2, it's no fun at all, and impossible if for a family of 3 or above. Plus Singapore is small and it's hard to spend more than 5 days. With such a long flight, many hurdles to jump, it really makes no sense.
Great video content. Good to let Singaporeans be aware of what is available in terms of locations and money wise. End state, for those who wants to travel, just take note that travelling now is not as cheap as it used to be. If cost is an issue, do explore saving up or exploring Singapore. There are always choices available. Question is; which choice are you looking at?
I thought Pf said it is highly effective against infection? Then why does Spore need to conduct 3 PCR tests for returning Singaporeans? Isn't that contradicting their statements that the vaccine is 'highly effective'?
It’s just ensuring that you’re definitely not infected? There’s no correlation between the two. 😂 If you’re coming back from a high-risk country, you don’t want to start an outbreak, because you may be the outlier who got infected, even if you got vaccinated.
@@jyedavies4423 It is related. Didn't Pfize said their vaccine is 95% effective against infection? Go read their published marketing results. It is against infection and not hospitalization, get this clear.
@@feliciafelicia6965 Wrong! Go read their initial published report. It is 95% against infection and not dying from infection. Clinical trials are based on infection , not dying.
Um no, it's a red state, we all know what that means. Don't want to meet crazy antivaxxers thx, yall think nebulising hydrogen peroxide is defeating the govt.
Last time go airport earlier to submit tax refund cos of the queue in some airports....think next time got queue for PCR test when more people start to travel
*Great Documentary but honestly its absolutely not worth it at all to travel during pandemic even with VTL cos its quite depressing to go through this protocols*
@@Steven.Chia.Singapore This VTL seems more suitable for urgent business trip and those visiting family in the motherland but with all this rather strict health checking I personally dont recommend anyone to travel there for leisure cos its constraining the mind to be free and at ease but still this documentary is on point in details and informative but apparently you look really worried most of the time but still its an excellent effort.
cbcb simi, checking your health is degrading? If you don't get regular yearly health checkups then stage 4 cancer byebye. You don't seem like someone with a long lifespan other ppl would want.
Yes, the total costs maybe even higher if you failed the PDT prior to return to Singapore. Quarantine costs in Germany may not 100% covered by travel insurance.
It is all about business man, you have to pay more and more that said ..... you pay for quarantine, you pay for medicine, you pay for extra transportation, you pay extra price tickets, you pay extra taxes ...... etc . they want to return what they lost because of pandemic loses .
I found it mind boggling where certain countries only accepted certain types of vaccines. Where WHO already listed out many of them for emergency used. Like from the video it says Sinovac is not accepted. 🥲
Germany vaccination 60%, Malaysia vaccination rate also 60% already. When can allow VTL for Malaysia? Its been closed for 2 years and its really depressing. 82% vaccinated, 98% asymptomatic/mild symptom, yet 2021 is like another year of 2020 only. Why we r still not able to move on?
Agreed. A bit upset that VTL with Germany when US is also over 60% plus in my county in San Mateo, Northern California its 80% vaccinated for people over 12. And most of us are waiting for a booster shot. So this high "tax" on vaccinated travelers seems like a way countries are recouping tourism dollars they lost for people desperate to travel for family reasons etc.
@@janemuses3031 sg totally got no intention to open VTL with msia. Msia only bother about business travel lane. I'm really depressed. Living day by day, no purpose, no meaning. N they seem like want to lock sg-jb border forever
Sinovac is Chinese Vaccine. its not recognised by mot western countries. So if you fly to Australia, you will still need ot be vaccinated or be in isolation for 2 weeks and you will be treated as unvaccinated
Would be hilarious if they keep sending Steven to new countries under the VTL scheme and this turns into a travel series

Thanks for sharing your experiences traveling during COVID, its very different than traveling before and we need all the advices.
For travelling to the US, depending on the state self quarantine is not mandatory there, so there's kind of a half-VTL.
