One of the primary reaosns i lived in Singapore for so long wss the use of the English language.. I'm one of those asians that just grew up speaking it as main language and plus i grew up in the UK . Been here for 22 years and I still enjoy this little red dot
Great video you did a solid job. You’re a natural at this lol I’m not surprised one bit. I learned a lot about Singapore. A lot of good people I know in crypto live there and I was always curious about what it’s like to live there. I did hear that rent was expensive but didn’t know it was even more than NYC. If this video performs well keep following it up with similar ones but in the meantime keep posting a variety of what you want to share 🎉
Nah...wait till you see the orixe of owning a car, Hahaha .. Vin Diesel got his jaw dropped when he got to know about it thru his Fast N Furious Interview few years back
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬 I hope you’ll get to discover more of our interesting historical, cultural and social bits. Like everywhere else, we’re not perfect. However, most things work here, and citizens and residents are the beneficiaries of our many pragmatic policies, laws, and infrastructure.
Around same age group, Bay area girls , worked in big tech like FAANG , very enthusiastic on the lifestyle in Singapore and nearby countries, socially active and produced and posted videos on yt . These were the earlier batch , during COVID period.
Congrats to your first video. Singaporean here. Try not to jaywalk (haha) because it is for your own safety. Even if the green man is in your favor, stop to look because some drivers may be sleeping or careless. I was fined for jaywalking - $30 to be exact. I was jaywalking near City Hall MRT and as I crossed over the road, the police officer was waiting for me. It happened years ago and I never forgot.
Great breakdown, Ernestine! Glad to be the first one to comment on your video haha! I've been to Bay Area and I must say that the weather there is some of the best I've ever experienced. I'm a Singaporean currently living in the US (so the opposite journey if you will), and I agree with your assessment for all the factors. Best of luck for your UA-cam journey!
I bought back big packs of chewing gums when I used to visit Malaysia and custom always caught me but no fine or anything as long as it is for own consumption. selling is illegal but not chewing.
Since being strict is something that you mentioned. May I suggest you look up strange laws in SG? Things about WiFi, Toilets, being yourself at home. Should be fun video to see you react to them. P.S. Welcome to SG.
Oh lady, you have forgotten to pack and bring over the cold weather to chill us a little. Sg need it so badly, as this tiny city state is always god darn hot 🥵 However, this week a Little windy and shiosk 🎉
Actually you can drink water on the train, Gov knows some people need to take medication. You can bring chewing gum and bubble gum and chew them in SG but not sell them.
Do anything but don't get caught. It is not as strict but laws are set to prevent people from doing bad things. It is about self education for the sake of public safety. 😂
Chewing gum isnt contraband.... What's illegal is selling gum. U can bring gum into singapore, just dont bring 1 carton, cause then they assume u are gonna sell it.
We don't need to protest here. If Government don't listen to the people, we vote them out in elections. That was what happened in the 2011 General elections. We have what we need here and don't need the extras. Sometimes the extras are just red herring.
The Government here claims to need more and more expats. The citizens here are not so sure about that. It's one thing for you to move to Singapore because you or your partner found a job here. It's another thing to invite more of the foreign contingent to occupy more of the already limited space here. Hope you keep that in mind as you make these videos. I decline to welcome you to Singapore, but I do not wish you any ill will.
Singapore is a safe country, and I will not want to leave Singapore. It is so convenient, no cold winter, which I dislike it, no earthquake, typhoon, flooding, volcanic eruption, or daylight robbery. I don't like the Western culture of importing free speech that could create social disharmony here.
Welcome to SG, You are right for most of the pro and con. Anyway SG gov is good in planning the development of SG, that include almost every 5mins walk, you get to see food around you. 😂 Regarding the gum thing, as long as you dont bring into the mrt area, you are ok. Because chewing gum banned because of the chewing gum stuck in one of mrt door in the early day and cause the mrt transport jam and thousand of commuters stuck in train. That y SG gov banned that to avoid that.😢 We are an Aviation and Maritime hub to connect the world. By the way, enjoy your stay in SG and have a pleasant stay. 😊
@ErnestineSiu well, if you are keen to find out, sg night life are coming back too. From hidden speakeasy, Garden by the Bay performance, Changi Airport Jewel performance, Sentosa sensory performance, our night life entertainment are getting back from Covid. If you have time and keen to find out can go take alook and drink. Haha If you do some research, you can find various Asian communities around SG and you can find good food at there.

This would be interesting! Thanks for the suggestion!! :)
Welcome to our cute little island🤩🤗
Oh lady, you have forgotten to pack and bring over the cold weather to chill us a little. Sg need it so badly, as this tiny city state is always god darn hot 🥵 However, this week a Little windy and shiosk 🎉
Yes yes! I wish I could bag up some of the wind from the Bay Area and bring it to Singapore to give everyone a little breeze haha 🍃
American, also, and also live Singapore. However, reality is I simply couldn't afford to live there. I envy you!
Actually you can drink water on the train, Gov knows some people need to take medication. You can bring chewing gum and bubble gum and chew them in SG but not sell them.
I see thank you for sharing! :)
Unlike other major cities,u dont see homeless people in the street of Sg
Welcome to Singapore pretty~
Hot and humid in Singapore, you will not fall asleep at night without AC, I'm from the CA too
Anyone who can add value to the lives of the people is welcome.
Welcome move to Singapore 🇸🇬
Welcome to SG.
Welcome to Singapore

It is about self education for the sake of public safety. 😂
Shhhh 🤫👀 haha
I would think Singlish can be a challenge for the foreigners as well.
get out of the CBD area and to the local living flat (HDB), you will find more cheaper food there .
Cool 🥸
Alright... just how many sticks of chewing gum is the Singapore government paying you with? 😁
Welcome to SIN City!
Chewing gum isnt contraband.... What's illegal is selling gum. U can bring gum into singapore, just dont bring 1 carton, cause then they assume u are gonna sell it.
Come back to America and make America great again

Beautiful lady ❤
ya got me with the pros, i’d love to take up your sublease (if i had the money😭)
This my friends is why never buy property in the cbd 6:17

Don’t stay here too long .. 1-2 years later please move on to other countries
Singapore is a safe country, and I will not want to leave Singapore. It is so convenient, no cold winter, which I dislike it, no earthquake, typhoon, flooding, volcanic eruption, or daylight robbery. I don't like the Western culture of importing free speech that could create social disharmony here.
It’s is okay if you don’t like the place, this is your life, this is your choice you can move anywhere you like or you want.
