    he nailed it when he mentioned singaporeans did not explore enough...and media only shows the flashy side of Singapore but those heartland malls, are not just for commoners but another down-to-earth culture that no other countries can mimic..His impression as a "curious" japanese will always add that extra flavor in any videos...thanks!

      As a singaporean i can related
      I want to try going out more often
      Explore singapore than staying here
      This pandamic has made singaporeans like my dad scared it too much that he like typical Asian family mindset
      Too me i am proud of the country i am proud of off
      People here say that sometimes too
      I have to admit that Singapore is not like countries like japan
      The moment you go out its too mordern and everyday you go out
      Its the same
      But i found out throigh gib ogisan
      Singapore has a lot of different places even myself was so afraid too go to
      But i find that cause most of us singaporeans are very not into huge disposable income
      Which i try to control sometimes
      But this is very much good about
      As Some people are like that here
      Me Anything can be learnt if people is interested here
      We need break away from that mindset and try all kinds new things too
      I feel we Singaporeans need too learn mote that singapore may not be like countries that has huge landscapes or mountains to explore
      But we here have very diverse types of people
      Racial harmony is build into our system and no one here has the right to say we one race or culture is with strong superority as law states all cultures are considered respected from day one as it is build into our school systems to teach that respecting all things here is nice thing too
      There is many chinese sayings here that can apply
      Such as "learn until old age" and " learning never stops for us all" helps me to understand we need to change about that in older generations here
      To help others Singapore is not boring, its just a matter of perspective.
      My mother told me from the beginning us Singaporeans are exceptional that i and her live in a country that multiracial society is a thing here
      So once again is all comes down to perspective of people on life that needs to change i say so.e of us Singaporeans need to do to explore more of Singapore special places of intrest

    I appreciate GHib because he is humble and genuine in his videos. And many places he has shown were places I have never been to as a Singaporean myself. Some videos also remind me with places I have long forgotten. He is our Singapore be treasure. I hope the best for him and his family here. Also he has a v cool mother in law, she is so funny.

      Same here
      When i see his videos reminds me of my childhood too
      Can be nice once in while to explore i say
      Even as a Singaporean myself can be lazy to go out too
      But Singapore is interesting to know about too
      Time to explore more lmao

    I don't think Ghib will see this comment, but I started watching his videos right when MCO started in 2020. I kinda watched him transition from doing small Japanese skits about JA / SG work cultures to doing lockdown activities to biking around the country to the Yishun "controversy" and getting his first sponsors, revealing that he's married, getting a house, saying goodbye to James, meeting Jimmy, wow omg the list can go on. I started rewatching his old videos because now SG is open on the VTL and I'm planning to go soon, so I wanted to write down some of his recommendations.
    I really like how not only has his video creation styles and food descriptions improved so drastically (people used to say he only said "delicious" and "juicy""), but also how he still keeps his down-to-earth personality and thinks about how he can contribute to the society (and Singapore Tourism Board, haha) with his videos.
    Ghib, thank you for always being there and showing us not only Singapore but how real life is like in Singapore. Thank you for always being human and not get devoured by the social media sponsorship / views craze. I will always support you!

    Olivia did awesome as always. Ghib essentially tries to balance ‘passion’ with ‘money’. In terms of what is value to viewers vs viewer counts. That’s similar to what the corporate world is! And I like how kind he is to always walk slightly behind Olivia, and only lead the way slightly in front when walking to the zhichar shop as he knows where it is - truly Japanese manners.

    Dear MothershipSG, Congratulations for producing this video !. I trust many of your viewers will now get to know Ghib Ojisan more intimately and how much he has contributed to Singapore and Japan friendship in just 3 years - thanks to his Singaporean wife ! GHIB has just turned 32 - was 31 when I first met him a year ago at 67 Killiney Kopitiam. The Japanese Embassy here should be proud of his weekly videos centered on Singapore. To our surprise a big fan of his has complied a list of 40 videos that I was captured in with Ghib Ojisan over a one year period covering various parts of Singapore - including 5 in Yishun where I lived.
    SINGAPORE should appoint him as our REPRESENTATIVE ( AMBASSADOR ) to bring in the next 1 million tourists in the next couple of years ! He will soon be in Japan and will certainly be " Selling Singapore " with his wife.

    As a UA-camr living in Japan and talking about Singapore often, I often watched Ghib Ojisan's videos. I find myself very similar to him, but also opposite in certain way. I am happy that he honestly shared he cares about the views, which I can totally understand. Luckily, my wife always reminds me not to care that much and focus on the content that is meaningful to the society. I think that's the most important thing as a UA-camr, in my opinion.

    I am quite amazed as how he thinks and explore everyday Singapore and treats it as an adventure every single time even its like in the same area. I can totally relate coz I cant find anyone else (other than my bff sis) to explore interesting food hunts in our heartlands. I have been exploring ever since I was a teenager (20 years plus of doing it now) and my passion for walking and venturing into new and familiar eating spots is still strong and boring us definitely not the word. I never thought Ghib would share that same passion and I finally feel happy that I found a youtuber that I can relate locally. Good job Ghib-san. 👍😁

    it's not that Singaporeans don't explore because they are lazy or simply like to complain. But the usually hot and humid weather kills any motivation to move around.
    Moreover, you can already expect what you will see from the pictures. It's really boring most of the time. :) The thought of squeezing with the crowd is just..... oh forget it.
    When overseas, with nice cool weather, hopefully less crowded, you feel more relaxed. You want to explore more. If it's nature you are considering, they are prettier than what we can see in Singapore.
    By the way, who is this female interviewer? Her facial expressions look weird most of the time. Not sure if she looks uninterested, bored or....??? :) No eye contact with Ghib too.

    Singapore is boring if you like to explore the vast nature with kinda limitless land boundaries otherwise it is a vibrant city state that offers plenty of job opportunities yet competitive plus SGD offers higher exchange rate if not highest in that region vs USD. In addition, the city state also offers a rather safer living environment due to constant surveillance activities and competent police forces. eg: crooks get caught in no time all the time.

    After 11pm you can basically give up on exploring Singapore unless you got a minimum of 50 dollars to burn for the supper and midnight cab fares. That and still having the energy to do exploring after you finish your daily 8 to 12 hours job. There is nothing wholesome and new to explore in Singapore to be honest beside eating and shopping. If you want to destroy your life well you can explore the underbelly of Singapore if you insist by going to ktvs,casino and drug parties.
