Hi Amandine, Thanks for sharing and hope you get your PR.....Cheers!
Thanks for watching! I will let you know when I get an answer!
Hi Amandine,,
I hope you will make Singapore your second home. I really enjoyed your channel so keep it up and take care okay.
Thank you Dennis! Thank you for your support and take care too :)
These two days weather damn shiosk. Bella and your boy boy go for an evening stroll or date. 🎉
The rainy days? I like a bit more sun still haha
But yes, quite refreshing right?
90% of the businesses are small and medium enterprises. That means the shops and stores around your neighborhood. That is how you find shops are all conveniently nearby your living quarter.
As you live longer in Singapore, you will start to appreciate your neighborhood shops and their diversity!
Awww…merci beaucoup, Amandine.
We’re not perfect, but Singapore do try to be as good as she can be.
And, people such as you, enrich and add to the multicultural kaleidoscope that Singapore is. 🥰🥰
Everything has its good and bad aspects; what matters is choosing a place where you value the good more than the bad. I really appreciate the good in Singapore, and I'm happy that I got the opportunity to live here and meet nice people! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Hi Amandine, au top la video, très intéressante. I’m also French and my girlfriend Singaporean, I hope I’ll be able to join her and move there for good soon. From my few trips there already I pretty much agree with all your points
Merci d'avoir regardé ! I hope you will find a way to settle here so you can continue to experience it!
Here in SG ..kind of living is up to personal stardard.and everything is convenient ...thats a short praise for Singapore
Singapore is like "choose your adventure"
Very good
Thank you for watching
Salut Amandine je suis content pour toi que tu
as bien apprécié Singapour...bonne chance et rester positive..👍👍👍
Merci beaucoup! Have a good day!
The usual self consoling : Singapore is convenient because it's small. Come on. It's like saying a 1 bed room is highly accessible because it's small.
It's not that small haha - just the layout ensure you have a grocery store, a park, your work place always accessible 😂
I don't think we're that clean. It's a problem now cos the cleanliness is due to all the cleaners and cos of a small amount of inconsiderate people (which amount to a lot), if there are no cleaners, we're in trouble. We definitely need harsher laws.
Yes, definitely it's thanks to the cleaners! I feel people became complacent as it has been repeated too many time that "it's clean, it's clean" so people started making efforts cleaning after them thinking it would be cleaned anyway 🤷♀️
80% are smokers!
Is your house THAT clean? 😅😅😅
There are people working as cleaners in every country and why not, cleaners also get paid and contribute to society.
Where are you from? I am happy you like my country. Enjoy your stay for as long as possible.
I'm from France! Have you been?
Yes, Singapore really got my heart so I will stay as long as I can!
Hope you get your PR soon!
I hope so! So far no news is good news!
The efficiency and convenience plus safety. With these of course it will be hard for people to leave. But you have to take into account the cost of living, weather, culture and so on.. Not a place to live forever I would say.
Yes, I have a new video now where I explain “why foreigners can’t stay in singapore” many many reasons too
Affordability in Singapore is solved once you get a PR
Probably if you switch your kids to local school and you can receive the healthcare benefits of PR - but life doesn't become so cheap still as housing is still pricey...
isnt the rental high?
It’s quite high! It was at an all time high but now it has decreased by about 10%
Theyre most likely to stay especially those granted with PR
If you apply for PR, most likely you want to stay long term
@@NewtoSingapore i already am 😊
Very hard to get now. Nationality places a part.
Whenever i come to SP, i always think of not going back from SP. But looking at return flight ticket i have to leave SP😢😅
We are going to discuss in the next video that often you are not able to stay in Singapore for many reasons 🥲
@@NewtoSingapore
Ok Amandine will wait for the next vlog to come☺️♥️
Want to learning French 1:1 with you..!! 😊
I’m not a French teacher but I should do a video in French soon!
Are you PR Amandine ? Should be easy for you since you married (?) a local ? Some of my expats friends told me that it's really harsh if you not off Chinese/Malay descent.
We are not married yet so I’m applying as an individual and yes usually it’s harder for western expat because the culture gap is bigger (my guess) so you need to “prove” more that you want to stay
I know one work that more than 5 yrs marry a local with a hdb house still got rejected. While another Chinese msian got approved not married and just work a couple of years lol
your rent in Singapore is probably more than i spend in a month living and working in Bangkok...
Probably! For 33873 baht, you can have something nice! But the salary you would get in Bangkok might be different as well as the quality of life!
@@NewtoSingapore honestly have u ever BEEN in bangkok?
I have probably a HIGHER quality of life spending about half u do ..and i have a western/swedish salary in the upper 4 digits usd so i spend ablot 25% of my salary each month rest well..its growing
But hey a prettybig 1 bedroom condo with roof pool and gym and balcony clean and modern is not quality for the THIRD of what u pay in rent...555 better with a expensive small box in singapore for almost 1000 usd a month =)
..have in mind that most things in Thailand are half price ..incl transport internet food clothes dailylife travel etc etc =)
@@gmm5550 Tax is great though in SG.
@@magicfire1 i rater spend only 25% of my salary for all living cost in near comfort luxury and invest the rest than spend more than triple that with a little lower tax.living in a small box.555
@@gmm5550 I have been to Thailand and it’s not the life I see for me, the traffic jams, the public installation poorly maintained… But I totally get what you say! It’s really about what you are ok to compromise…
I think you are wrong about the weather in Singapore. Singapore does not have two seasons. Singapore has three: hot, hotter, hottest.
This work also 😂😂
I am also Amandine.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are? Not wanting to leave?
I suspect that ure not connected to enough expats, many have left Singapore due to intolerable high costs. Expats want to live a life. Sporeans will never admit spore is expensive because they just stay at their parents HDB or HDB purchased in 90s, with their economic rice and they are happy already
Actually, my next video is about the reasons why expats live Singapore - high cost is not the only reasons there are plenty! But for the few of us that want to stay long term, yes we are happy with what we have found here!
I think you have a very negative view, should just enjoy the small things :)
@@NewtoSingapore being labeled as negative when sprouting uncomfortable facts. Ure now an official Singaporean. I would exchange countries with u in a heartbeat
Not necessarily true, spore does have the usual crime, gangs n unsafe spots. If you watch our crime watch series, you can get a good idea of the crimes that have taken place in sg. We also have our serial killer cases etc.
Do you think crime and gangs affect your daily life? What you mention is like extreme cases - the security we appreciate in Singapore is that there are only few "daily" crimes - like theft, street harassment...
The only crime that could affect your daily like is really just like online scams 🤷♀️
@@NewtoSingaporebeware of cherry picking extreme countries to show Singapore is safe. We aren't even officially the safest country in the world. I've walked alone in the middle of the night in Japan and Beijing, even Bangkok. U know some spots in sg u won't go at night. Same for other counties
@@Lawrenc139 I’m from France and a young student I’m been bothered in the center of my city (and it was just a 10 min walk from the train station to my house). It’s also common to feel scared taking the public transport. I’ve also got my phone snatched from my hand just out from the grocery store - there is nothing remotely close to that in Singapore
Yes, on TV right😂
You guys are living in the bubble. Like Amandine said, come to France or any western europe countries. You will see how unsafe it is. Asia is super safe.
In Singapore, it's the gov that robs u, 24/7 😂
How even? Taxes are low, you have great benefits as Singaporean and all the public infrastructures are well maintained 🌹
@@NewtoSingapore Let him come to France. 50-60% overall Tax 😭
@@magicfire1 Can’t appreciate what they have haha
haha lol i did tell my fren tat years ago
@@NewtoSingapore We have the MOST EXPENSIVE PUBLIC HOUSING in the world. Yet many sporeans living with their parents or a house bot in the 90s don't even know or care. In France, how much is public housing may I ask?
RUBBISH
Why? 🥲
