Divert Living u stated no zebra crossing or did i get it wrong?there are lots of zebra crossings in spore and the roads are well lit at night.do visit the heartlands if u visit spore again.places like Geylang, Tampines or Changi village(go there at night for good food n cheap).try dishes like salted egg chicken rice or food locals often eat.enjoy urself
Watched couple of your video & i decided to subscribe, because you'll guy are so down to earth & your video are amazingly professional!
Keep it up!
Is Singapore Expensive?
Yes.... Ridiculously expensive.
@@justinpritchardkonk ure being chopped
@@roslanbinahmadahmad8294 Confirm
The gentleman who guided you guys in the video is amazingly knowledgeable and eloquent. Thanks for this interesting video.
He was very knowledgeable! Thank you for watching!
Of course, he is a certified guide
U are one of the few vlogger who knows how to tour singapore well. Gd job guys.
Aww thank you so much :)
this video is such an accurate portrayal of my country . Your tour guide did an amazing job in showing you guys the local life and non touristy side of singapore!
Thank you so much!
Not accurate enough.if he wants real accuracy, go to the heartland,go to geylang,go to changi and other estates outside of downtown/central areas
I used to live in Singapore for 2years for work and I can tell you that you hit up everything locals in SG! We really love your video - not only about the tourist attraction or food but about culture, social, languages, origins, and even government effort to the country. It feels like watching history video, respect🙏🙌
Thank you so much! We really love it here!
as a singaporean myself, i saw the preview and cyclically thought “lol another foreigner’s ignorant perspective of sg”, bc i feel as if us as sgeans have been so de sensitised to the beauty of our culture and i rlly would love our education system (ahem ahem MOE) present the beauty of our culture through videos like these more bc the thing ab these types of videos, is that they offer such an innocent, open minded and new perspective and is so refreshing to learn ab my own country this way more and more. :) good job guys
Aww thank you so much! We never want to come off as ignorant or close minded haha
But singapore is boring. There is only so many times you can visit the attractions,malls and parks before it gets repetitively boring. Even malaysia has so much more to offer
@@jeremyemilio9378 i think you look at singapore as a tourist perspective. Which they didn't aim for, to be a center for tourism. What they did is local friendly, something livable, modern, hygienic and futuristic.
@@michaelvalmo if 17 years of living there counts as a tourist, sure...
The older buildings are called shophouses. For a while the Singaporean government was encouraging their destruction. Then people realized that Singapore's history was being swept away in the name of modernity. Fortunately, the shophouses are now protected heritage sites.
Thank you so much for letting us know!
The Kampong Glam district is certainly not mainly named after "Indonesian / Malaysian Islands", just because one of them is called Bali Lane. Here's a complete list of all the roads there:
Bali Lane (Island in Indonesia)
Haji Lane (Muslim who has been to Mecca as a pilgrim)
Arab Street (Arabia)
Muscat Street (City in Oman)
Bussorah Street (likely Basrah in Iraq)
Kandahar Street (City in Afghanistan)
Baghdad Street (City in Iraq)
Sultan Gate (reference to a gate to a former palace)
Pahang Street (State in Malaysia)
Aliwal Street (a family name)
Jalan Pinang (Penang: State in Malaysia)
Jalan Pisang (Banana)
Jalan Kledek (Keledek: Sweet potatoes)
Jalan Kubor (There's a graveyard nearby)
Jalan Klapa (kelapa: Coconut)
Thank you so much!
Believe it or not, Singapore is not as expensive as you might think, provided you know where to look, you can eat dirt cheap, for $3-4 SIN and visit places free the public transportation is very inexpensive and extremely efficient, so get yourself an MRT Card fill it up and you can use it for years as I did, I visited in 2015 kept my card and used it this year on my recent trip.
Believe me, Singapore is way cheaper than many American cities such as NYC, SF and most Alaskan cities like Anchorage, ever go there, well you better take a bag of cash cause its so expensive for tourists? 👍🏼
This is one of the most enjoyable travel vlogs of Singapore I've seen. Informative and led by two likeable people.
Thank you so much!
I have been to SG twice. Your video made me want to go back so bad. My favorite city in the world.
I like the way video use real sound and noises from the road and surrondings with a slight of classical instrument (rather than generic royalty free music mostly vloggers use)
Thank you so much!
I miss Singapore now, came back from a short trip and I wanna go back , everyone is so helpful and nice and expensive.
Aww i didnt find it to be that expensive actually
Nahh its not that expensive if u knw how to spend like the locals.visit the heartlands there are so many cheap food and shopping.bazaars too...unless u wanna spend ur money in orchard road.u can stay at changi village hotel.lots of good and cheap local food, bars and near the airport
Thank you for the super in-depth video! Always love watching people learn about other histories and cultures :)
Been to Singapore many times, and always enjoyed my stay there.
You're videos on Singapore have been so good and helpful. Thank you.
So happy they are helpful!
Been to all the areas you've visited here. But I only did sightseeing.
There are also other free attractions like Botanic Gardens, Har Paw Villa, Chinese Gardens, Palawan Beach and Singapore City Library near Lucky Plaza.
did you like it?
@@DivertLiving I did. It's not as fancy as the ones you featured here but I got the solemnity and peace I needed as an introvert. It's also nice to feel genuine in these areas of Singapore. I mean too much fab and fanciness of Singapore architecture makes it feel unreal.
har paw villa is a hidden gem. Such a weird and unique place.
@@henryettoit897 which will traumatise you for life :( especially the seven levels of hell (I think that's what it is called).
Our gum situation is the same Prohibition you had in the US but for gum. Just like Prohibition, you are allowed to chew it and even bring it in for private consumption but you are not allowed to sell or distribute it.
Thats so interesting:)
It was becoming a nightmare to clean up off the pavements and being tropical it stayed soft and sticky and stuck to people’s shoes. Simple solution was to ban it’s sale. Won’t be long and cigarettes will go the same way. You can only smoke in designated areas along Orchard Rd.
Singapore is pretty amazing when it comes to their laws. They are very disciplined and their country is very clean. They really advancing well in the modern world.
It is such an amazing place!
B is essentially the standard 'good' rating, A is usually consider to have too much time to clean or they generally don't make much mess, so cleaning doesn't take long.
Excellent videography, superb edits. So informative and interesting. One of the best around. Really appreciate the unique and beautiful buildings, the varieties of delicious food, the different and unique cultures in this ultra modern city with its rich heritage. Love it!
Aww glad you love it, thank you so much for leaving a beautiful message here 🧡
As someone who just moved to Singapore and are still getting acclimated, this was actually incredibly helpful! :) Thank you!
Also at Haji Lane where you were saying the breakfast is cheap on the menu, I did the exact same thing. That's actually the page number for the breakfast lol
Thank you so much!
Loved this video! All of your videos are so so interesting and beautifully captured, keep it up! :)
Great job guys! the tourguide did a great job.....very well done.
Thats what we thought!
Your video inspires me to appreciate the common foods which I didn’t took notice & to re-explore the sights which I ignored usually. I lived near the Little India district.
The food is amazing!
Thank you for your vlog! I found your narrative, perspective and style very similar to my taste... I appreciate sharing your journeys..
Well done guys!Good video and well documented.You guys are great to watch.Have fun and keep safe.Cheers...
Thank you so much!
@@DivertLiving It"s all good mate.Looking forward for your next video.
I love museums. I go there first when I arrive in a city. Frequently they provide historical information on the local area & attractions.
Love this video! Very informative and beautifully shot
Thank you so much!
This is so informative! We are a reupholstery sofa local business at a workshop and have worked with many expats. Simply love how friendly expats are in Singapore.
Singapore is a super clean city and I love hawker centre.
So do we!
the tour guide has a great knowledge of singapore... hope you both enjoy ur trip to singapore and learn some great things about our tiny lion city....
We had a really good time with them!
@@DivertLiving thats great buddy...
Someone from Singapore here. Glad you like it.
Great video..you have shared good info that I do not know even I'm a Singaporean. Good job!
Gday jimmy and ta. Its so different there and surprises u alot,keep up the good videos, food is great to enjoy . Have fun and look forward to more great videos take care u beautifull couple st a y safe
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy videos like this where it's long and the history of the place is talked about.
Aww we are so happy you enjoyed it
Great Video, Divert Living. It’s a getting to know Singapore all over again through the Eye of foreigners... Nice video.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations for your national holiday on 9th August Singapore from your friends in Germany
There are a lot of similar dishes in Singapore and Thailand (c.f. your Thai partner) because of the similar Chinese populations (Teochew, Hokkien) as well as the similar ingredients we use.
Loved the tour of Chinatown, where is that little hotel that looks like a temple? Would love to see that in May this year when we are in Singapore.
Hi,
Thanks for all your tips.
I saw a video of yours about travel insurance. You mentioned one is better than another in one of your Singapore videos. Would that be Nomad insurance?
A hawker centre stall has to be slightly grimy haha... the cleanest ones most of the time dont serve the best food. Your videos about Singapore are some of the best I've seen. Down to earth and simple.
Agree, they capture the essense of SG perfectly
Thank you guys so much:)
🌟 Great video and very informative Jim. Bet you and Tah had a great time in this video👍 I just loved China town "Amazing" the architecture was simply beautiful🏯 I had to laugh with the pepper though, as I said is it hot😆 looking forward to the Philippines coming up. Till next time Jim, you and Tah take care😎
Thank you so much! We cant wait to share that trip with you!
your video is the most knowledgeable about singapore and even i as a singaporean learnt a lot of things from your vid so kudos!
Thank you so much!
I am a Singaporean doing my undergrad in USA now. I miss Singapore... Hello from NYC. 😊
The breakfast was simple but... mmmhhh so gooood 😉 and the guide... such a sweetheart ❤️ lovely 👍🏽👍🏽
Love your video. It's pretty informative and you guys are genuine.
1) Other than toast and chee Cheong fun (rice noodle roll), locals enjoy eating our staple food (rice and noodle) for breakfast e.g. Nasi lemak, porridge, congee, laksa.
2) The proper way to doing offerings to the deities in the temples will still be the incense sticks. Cigarettes are just not right. Pretty disrespectful to offer that to the other deities.
3) Jaywalking is a really not recommended. Reason why the people in video did that is because they are hurrying to work and there's no traffic light or underpass nearby. It's game over for you if you get hit by the car. Although our drivers are generally courteous here, you just need one driver who's not paying attention and that's it.
Aww thank you so much for the information!
Your tour guide is so knowledgeable and friendly👏👏
Completely agree with you
I agree with you
thank you for an interesting Vlog . I'm Singaporean, but do not know about those wall murals 😅 in your video. I'm sure going to check them out. good job.
Thank you so much!
@25:05 These are the page numbers of the different sections of food items, not their prices! It can't be that cheap in Haji Lane area. By the way, it's amazing how you guys can cover so many places within the same day!
OMG, you are spot on about the bit called Chinatown. It is very contrived and even as a first time visitor you realised that it is very touristy and very expensive especially the street food. Avoid the area and explore the rest of Singapore. Enjoy your journey and safe trip.
Thank you so much!
Chinatown, Sim Lim Square, Lucky Plaza, Newton Circus hawker. Just a few to name. The basis is, when there is no pricetag, don't buy. As a local, its quite sad how Asian countries like to believe westerners as good victims for scam...
I'm Singaporean but actually learning things from your guide. No idea chee cheong meant pig's intestine lol
Ahhh me either!
Chee Cheong means pig instestine (猪肠) in cantonese.
The streets look so clean, even as a local, I am surprise.
They are!
The Sultan Mosque area that you visited…. The entire area comprising of the mosque and the shophouses, all the way to another smaller mosque near Jalan Sultan, was once palace grounds of the Sultan (king) of early Singapore. Beside the above-mentioned small mosque is a Malay cemetery for the royals back then. Not many locals know of the existence of the cemetery right in the heart of the city. You might be able to find a few pictures of it on the internet.
Excellent video! You both are very respectful and very educational video. *****
Thank you so much!
Singapore is not just about the expensive things you see the first thing you google. If you didn't seek out the good oldie cheap food, you missed the good stuff. And this is one good vlog. Also people, if you come visit here, save your cab money for night time. During the day, ride around with the mrt or bus. Walk it out, cardio cardio hahahaha.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing Singapore. 👍🇸🇬
Thank you so much!
What camera are you using?! The clarity is out of this world!
hey, you guys were in Singapore before this video... i recognised your video and you both in the video. Great job by the way :)
Thank you so much!
I’m going to Philippines, Singapore, Maldives, Taiwan and Malaysia for a total of a month. Just bought a Go Pro 8. I don’t know how to edit. Going to have my daughter edit it all when I get back. Plz be honest..... how many memories cards am I gonna need to buy to video like this? Great info
Definitely would like to visit Singapore someday!
Its worth the trip!
Kampong Glam used to be famous among Malays. But since the Malay Heritage Centre is there, the guy brought you there. He should bring you to Geylang Serai for more varieties of Malay stuffs and food.
Singapore is definitely smart city ♥️👍👏
Yes it is:)
I thought there are more than one 6-stars hotels in Singapore. Ritz Carlton, St Regis, and maybe Raffles.
Ahh apparently not:)
@@DivertLiving I am not sure what is the source of your information, but the Fullerton is definitely not the only 6-star hotel, nor is it the best one. In fact, ask any random Singaporean and most will not even name it as the best hotel....that accolade historically goes to the Raffles Hotel, with the Shangri-La a close second. But most younger Singaporeans will probably name the MBS instead.
Check out this list....you won't even find the Fullerton in there, and all are way better than a 6-star. Some people say they are 7-star haha. edition.cnn.com/travel/article/singapore-extravagant-suites/index.html I mean, when Trump and Kim met in Singapore, they signed the document at the Capella. St. Regis was where Kim stayed, and Trump stayed at the Shangri-La. Surely they will know what is a truly good hotel haha.
Ive only seen 3 of your videos so far. You seem like a lovely couple. Looking forward to watching all the others 👍
Nice to see you enjoy every corner of Singapore with a guide. Hope you enjoy your stay here.
We have a blast in singapore 🧡
You guy's are awesome Vloggers. Singapore looks so amazing and colourful
the cake that you ate, its actually Chiffon cake with the essence of pandan leaves
Its so so good!
I love it too. The OJ machine is amazing. Have you seen the salmon fillet machine?You guys have some amazing videos. Good work.
aww no i have never seen that one! Thank you!
Wow you are lucky to have an expert guide
It was really nice:)
@@DivertLiving How do I find one god guide like yours and rate wise? My wife and I are coming to Singapore at the end February 2020. Thank you
Fan from Minnesota. USA
Hmoob Yajsab It’s in the description under heading “Mentioned”.
Most Malays are at Paya Lebar area. Places like Joo Chiat complex, Tanjung Katong complex, Pasar Geylang. Bali Lane is just a tourist area where you have a more middle eastern food available there. Malay food can be found at Pasar Geylang, Indian food at Tekka hawker and Chinese food at Chinatown hawker centres. As for Eurasians, I'm not sure though. These are the four races in Singapore. :)
Actually Arab Street was the Arab quarter. The Malay area would be Geylang Serai near Paya Lebar MRT Station. That area comes alive during the fasting month of Ramadan. Muslims and non Muslims would flock to the Ramadan Bazaar for food. There are 2 hawker centres there namely Geylang Serai Food Centre and Haig Road Food Centre with lots of famous stalls selling Malay food.
Thank you so much!
So glad you guys came to Singapore !
We are glad too 😊
WOW Jaywalking is the law haha. Looks like a great place to visit and so much history in Chinatown. Very cool buildings in Little India. The water front is awesome I love the lion fountain very cool. Seems to be a lot of diverse cultures there. The food looks great as well.
13:47 the numbers which you are citing (200k-300k = 7% of 5 million) aren't the number of indian workers in the country but the singaporean CITIZENS of indian descent.
Still love this when vloger were informed and not up there own arse
i love your videography and colour grading!
Thank you so much!
So many memories! China Town...
Love it there!
Amazing, I've been to Singapore but didn't see half of this, 🙏
Aww that means you need another trip there!
Divert Living definitely 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for visiting Singapore. Hope you had a good time here. Enjoying your video around the world.
Thank you so much!
Those temples sculptures so amazing love you guys
Thank you so much :)
You missed the excellent cendol drink when you were at Tekka Market! It's the first stall beside the fruit stall facing the courtyard. Very refreshing on a hot day - my fave!
Gud place. Gud time. Tah, u brought back my old memories when u showed Taj Mahal palace hotel by d gateway oh India in Mumbai. Worked in d hotel for 2 weeks, preparation for a trade n investment mission fr msia. Spore is so clean. Thanks fr yr video.
Where are you now in Covid-19 Era... Are you home or trapped overseas? Big fan, love your videos!!! So beautiful, I want to bring kids to Singapore.
heard you are from upstate NY....I used to live there...Albany, troy and Rochester.
The guy reminded of the actor in the first transformer who later went a bit nuts in real life. Last saw him in Fury
For the pricier cost of staying in singapore what you get is safety,infrastructure,variety of food,public transport and friendly locals. Every city has its merits i guess. I would say its worth it especially safety my friend.
Loved all your videos on Thailand, so nice to see you guys visit Singapore :)
G'day Are you going to show taking the bus or train from Singapore to Johor across the straights?
Oh no maybe you would like to edit your surprises list in the description...
1. There are actually many zebra crossings around but not the huge ones. Just between those smaller streets.
4. China that does not look like Chinatown in other cities?
5. Chee cheong fun literal translation from Cantonese is “pig intestines” rice noodles but in actual fact, there are no pig intestines and only made up of rice flour.
10. Never heard of that before.
13. Not sure about that too as I thought there were more 6-star hotels.
14. We are allowed to chew gums that we bought overseas but strictly for personal consumption. It’s only against the law to smuggle gums in multiple packets, sell it locally or mass giving them away.
15. Don’t think that is true. I have seen some other legal street vendors. Street food vending license is given as long as the food does not perish fast and requires minimal handling.
Haha - the area 23:23 is "Kampong Glam" is not "Cumple Done" as in the subtitles!
I am glad you enjoyed it :) Thank you for visiting and all the praise❤❤I wish i could met you. Your video is so amazing and so professional!!❤❤ i love it!
Aww your message make my day, thank you so much 🧡
Big fan from Thailand
Thank you so much!
A lot of men could learn a thing or two by the way you treat your girl. You let her talk you don't interrupt her good job brother.
No wonder I'm still single..😂🤣😂🤣
hahahaha
I would have preferred to have more sweet sauce on the Chee Cheong Fun
Pandan cake with coffee or tea is one of my favourite breakfast
Singapore started the hygiene rating system in 1997 and NYC I believe started the hygiene rating system in 2010.
So the history behind the segregated areas for the different races like Little India, Kampong Glam and Chinatown, is that when Raffles, our (speculated) founding father, came to Singapore, he made a town plan and decided that it was easier to keep the people of different races separated.
These all places you visited in a one day ? Plz let me know by a reply because I’m to visit one day trip to Singapore
Yes this is one day trip
thank a lot , I have planned to visit next week for a day. Your video helped me a lot
Did you use Metro or bus to visit each places ?
@@ijazahmed3526 yes only metro and bus 😊
Awesome video, great city!
Thank you so much!
