The Greatest City on Earth? Our Honest Experience of Singapore 🇸🇬
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- Welcome to south east Asia's smallest country, Singapore. One of the biggest surprises of all the countries we have visited so far, Singapore is a hugely impressive city state. From the efficiency of the transportation, to the cleanliness of its streets. From the cultural diversity to the incredible food on offer. This country made a lasting impression on us in the short time we had there. We can't wait to go back already. Thank you for having us, Singapore 🇸🇬

You guys went to MacRitchie Reservoir's Tree Top Walk on your FIRST day in Singapore??? Mad respect to you!! Indeed it's a 'hidden' gem that no tourist would normally visit. You just discovered the tropical side of Singapore with it's (nearly) unspoilt rainforest, after all we're just 1 degree above the equator.
Haha thank you. We wanted to do something really special with our limited time there instead of only the usual stuff. So glad we did, it was really worth the effort to see another side of the city.
@@adamandyaz You guys are adventurers, not tourists 😘
Thks I am a Singaporean
First time I see Tree top
You can chew gum in Singapore. Sale of gum is prohibited. If you bring one or two packets in for personal consumption is ok.
Aha, good to know
@adamandyaz they even sell dental or nicotine gum at pharmacy
Yeah only bubble gum then no
No one cares if u chew gum. I think that’s a big misconception about singapore. Yes we have many rules but it’s not like we feel stifled or feel like there is someone watching us all the time. We ain’t North Korea. It’s just normal daily life for us and most of us don’t really care if someone else chews or doesn’t chews gum.
In other words you have to buy it from another country in order to chew it in Singapore?
I'm honestly impressed that you guys hit the forest on the first day because most tourists stay in the city area. Our nature is a major plus for us because we actually have a lot of natural diversity despite our size. Other than McRitchie the other location you can hit up is sungei buloh wetland reserve. It's a nice mangrove forest with crabs, birds, crocodiles (yes), fish and other lovely wildlife. If you come at the right times you can also see migratory birds because Singapore is a major stopover point for birds migrating from Eurasia to australia
We really wanted to do something special with our limited time there and so glad we did! Thank you for watching and we'll make a note of Sungei Buloh for next time 😃
Mac Ritchie is nothing compared to the UK. Is like introducing popcorn to a Michelin starred chef
Just FYI, you can also see the Merlion in Hokkaido. It was brought over as a sign of friendship between Singapore and Japan
Thanks for the love and come back soon!!🥰
Wow thank you @visitsingapore!! ❤️ 🇸🇬
Singaporean here! Its actually fine to bring chewing gum into Singapore. The government start having a problem when you start selling or importing it. Just remember to dispose of your gum properly! We hope to accomodate you again soon. 😊😊
I go to Sing frequently as my wife is from there and still has aunts, uncles and cousins there. We typically stay between 4 and 8 days and we find that’s about the limit. You have to remember that these are the main activities for most Singaporeans:
1. Eating
2. Talking about eating
3. Shopping
4. Going to travel agencies to find deals for traveling outside of Singapore
We stay near Clarke Quay. It’s well situated for Chinatown as well as being easy walking distance to the Merlion and Bugis. Two MRT lines are quite near and many major bus lines converge here.
Besides family, we enjoy hiking and there are quite a few nice hiking areas…..as long as you go early. Bukit Timah, the Southern Ridges and MacRitchie Reservoir are all great hikes early in the day. We like heading out to Katong at least once each trip. Good Laksa at Roxy Square and good Nyonya goodies to eat across the street. We try to avoid Orchard Road, as it’s pretty much all high end stuff, though the basement at Takashimaya (sp?) reminds one of department stores in Japan. When we shop,it’s at neighborhood malls. Eating is generally at hawker centers like Old Airport, Hong Lim and Chomp Chomp.
We don’t do much in the way of traditional tourist stuff, but the zoo is supposed to be fantastic, both day and night. Gardens by the Bay is a great place, though the price of the attractions is a little steep. Sentosa has a casino and Universal Studios.
So, is Singapore worth a stay? Yes it is.
We absolutely loved it. Way more than we ever thought we would. Thank you for the recommendations, we'll check them out next time we're in town 😃
As a Singaporean I’m proud and impressed that you have spent your day in such a meaningful manner. Going to macritchie just takes the cake omg as a local I’ve not been there for yearsss as I’m too lazy lol.
Really looking forward to see you guys come back again. Your perspective is so thorough, accurate and refreshing. Certainly can’t say the same for much of the duplicate Singapore travel blogs out there.
P.s The pod is a cool China product. Getting so popular now!
I didn’t know it was physically possible to do all these in 1 day! You guys are epic! 💪💪
I can tell you it wasn’t easy! 😅 But when you only have one full day you find the energy and the will to keep moving haha
Great to see something other than the usual tourist places. Plenty of walks and wildlife around Singapore. Kudos on taking one in on the first day. A majority of the land surface in Singapore is green - enjoy it on future visits. Usually totally missed out by visiting tourists. Expensive pint, yes, but you should have ordered a couple of large bottles of Tiger beer in a local place. Eat and drink local and Singapore is not expensive. World class public transport is cheap too. Accommodation and private cars are the expensive stuff. I moved from UK to live permanently in Singapore 30 years ago. Best thing I have ever done. Fabulous place.
I love how much y'all love Singapore. I've watched a lot of videos and there isn't a lot of enthusiasm about Singapore. I'll be there in March and I look forward to it!
Hi there. Singaporean here. I would recommend Maxwell Road Hawker Centre (MRT: Maxwell. Food: Chicken rice, fish soup), Gardens by the Bay/Marina Bay Sands (try to visit Cloud Forest and Flower Dome), Katong area (especially junction of Joo Chiat Road/Koon Seng Road for Peranakan houses. You can also eat a famous laksa called 328 LAKSA), Orchard Road, Golden Mile Hawker Centre (famous for Cha Kway Teow), Merlion Park and if you are adventurous, go to the suburban e.g. Bedok MRT (there is a shopping mall and you can explore Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre + surrounding shops).
Thank you so much for the recs! I have them saved and will check them out!
You're gonna love it as much as we did I know it! Such a cool place with a great vibe 😃
Hi Adam & yaz,I been waiting for your vlog for ages 😀 Holly molly,I love Singapore so much,I'm living in London UK now,I used to work in Singapore when I was young,you guys are match made in heaven 💗 hope you enjoy your day in Singapore. I can't wait to watching more of your vlog 😊 love your guys 😍
Wow thank you so much! We love it too! ❤️ 🇸🇬
Most tourists (and locals) dont realise that the "Supertrees" are not just metal structures to hang lights on.... they are actually giant solar collectors that collect energy in the daytime for the park....hence the awards the park won for sustainability. Next time you are there, read the giant stickers at the Supertrees, they will explain this.
Wow! That's cool we had now idea! Thanks for sharing 😃
Welcome to Singapore!! Thank you for all your nice comments about Singapore. I hope you enjoyed yourselves n had a great time here! Transport, foods n shopping (in certain areas) are relatively inexpensive. I was in London last year n I enjoyed myself so much at my favourite Oxford Street! I went shopping there for 3 days straight! I love e cool weather in London! It’s great that we enjoy other countries when we travel. Do come to Singapore again! Cheers! 👍😀
Its comical and iconic that most tourists come for the supertrees, but you guys went for the real trees 😆 Its nice to see though, cus most tourists miss the forests for the concrete. 🎉
I went there this summer and really didn't like Gardens by the Bay... Instead what I really really loved was Botanic Gardens. Possibly the most beautiful large city park I've ever been too. My experience there was on par with Central Park if not better.
Singapore is a mix of Europe, Malaysia, India, and China. It's beautiful.
So beautiful ❤️ 🇸🇬
We do have 4 basic races here as in Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian. Each of these ethnic has it very own cuisine and culture. Go explore around to discover more. We also the first UNESCO heritage site garden here in Singapore. There are so much to see, so much to do.
Both of you are so sweet and fun! Glad you made it to the treetop walk.
Thank you 🤗
Yea! So glad they did and they made it without water. Even a local might have fainted.
You guys have my utmost respect for going off the regular tourist trail on your first day there. There is deep wisdom in that, a wisdom I admit I don't have. haha
Btw you guys have good vibes, whatever you're doing, keep it up
Thank you guys for visiting Singapore and exploring tree top walk. We have more free to visit places here. Loved your vlog. Hope you guys will enjoy your stay here. Cheers!!!
Can't wait to come back! ❤️🇸🇬
@@adamandyaz Am looking forward to your next vlog in Singapore and exploring our heartlands.
@@adamandyaz May I suggest that next time when u come back, try to know more about the real Singapore than from any biased news.
Half populations living in Singapore are foreigners, on average they do live & work in sg for 10-20 yrs, some even 30 yrs or more. Nobody forces them to work here. They chose to live in sg cos they see the real beauty of SG.
Yes we do have tough laws but they are mostly for violent crimes esp murder, kidnapping & hard drugs. Even for drugs, u would have to carry a certain “weight” for “sale” then death penalty could kick in. Many not realise that Sg still have some drug issue, I used to work in hospital , often seen many drug addicts checking in daily. We often see news on how much drugs CNB dept have raided. After all sg is a super globalised country with hundreds of diff nationalities living in here, should we not have tough laws we would end up like another drug city in USA or Europe.
Another misconception want to highlight is that the foreign media in the west like to portray that sg is the “only” asia country with death penalty. In fact is not true, all asia countries (incl Japan, S. Korea, taiwan, china etc) have same capital punishment; middle eastern Muslim countries are even harsher on their crimes. I noticed the west often like to exaggerate & make it sound like SG is the only asia country with death penalty.😢
I never get bored of Singapore, and is as budget as you want If you want free then pop over to the botanic gardens.....fantastic!!
Truly one of the most mind blowing places we have ever been! 😃
@@adamandyaz You seem to like the nature as much as the touristy places. Botanic Gardens is a great suggestion. Also Sungei Buloh Wetlands (you may need to take a cab or Grab). You may want to explore Pulau Ubin, but it is a little inaccessible (or time consuming to get there. But if you do, Changi Village is quite rustic (compared to the other Changi - Jewel). And if your budget permits, check out the Zoos. Yes, plural. There is the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari, River Wonders, and Bird Paradise (? they recently moved and rebranded themselves). The Pandas are at River Wonders.
Singapore's weather: You can take a cold shower, towel up, and leave the shower perspiring. Our national treasure.
Living here I can say it IS one of the best places on Earth. 😊
Nice video. Thanks for such a nice introduction of my country. That flight of stairs after the treetop walk is brutal. Good thing there was a rest stop halfway up.
Really liked the fast paced editing on this one along with fitting background music.
Wow thank you so much 🙏 ❤️
Wow! You guys tried the tree top walk...it is not a usual tourist area but really worth the visit!
We really wanted to do something special with our limited time there and so glad we did, it was amazing and really worth the effort ❤️ 🇸🇬
Im literally 5 months late to this masterpiece?! (i watched in the first few hours but didnt comment) its really impressive that you went to treetop walk on ur first day! its not a usuak tourist spot. thank you for showing the others our tiny little island! love from SG
Literally my favourite place on earth. Last visited over 10 years ago for part of my honeymoon (Also did Langkawi ,Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur) and I still bang on about it!
Just had a baby so as soon as she is old enough to cope with humidity and a 12 hour flight im going back :D
Hi Adam and Yaz, stumbled upon this video and I must say it is such an awesome video. So glad that both of you enjoyed your stay in Singapore. Thank you for making such an amazing and positive video of my home 🇸🇬.
Thank you for watching! Can't wait to come back 🇸🇬❤️
Great to see you two back at it!!! 😊
Hey! Thank you ❤️
If you couple like walks through nature and stuff, then you might want to visit Pulau Ubin. It's an island that is an extension of Singapore. You need to take a ferry from the Changi Jetty to get there. It is mostly rainforest, mangrove swamps and beaches there. You can camp at the beach there, if you brought a tent. I camped there during my Secondary School days as a Boy Scout some 20+ years ago. We learned to set up our tents. Then we started our own fires and then were cooking our instant noodles in our own mess tins over the fire. I cheated abit by bringing some solid fuel instead of using the tinder, sticks and leaves we were supposed to find. Some of my friends even brought marshmallows. Remember to bring insect repellent though, or at least the mosquito patches to keep them away.
Looking back now, pretty fun times it was indeed.
Love love LOVE SG! had the honour to live there for 3 years! Love the people, amazing food, and being able to travel around the island/islands and the monsoons! Miss you dreadfully, SG!❤
It’s a one of a kind place for sure. Really special ❤️ 🇸🇬
❤ Welcome to Singapore ! Wishing you guys an enjoyable and fun stay here. 😊🎉
Sick video guys, reminds me of when I was there. Loving the editing as well guys so good.
Thanks Matt ❤️
Slick? Ove your comment.
Some fun facts for your kind consideration
Fun Fact 1: Local Singaporeans would have consumed the food featured at 6:01 with a fork and a spoon. The fork was mostly used to push the food into the spoon, before lifting the spoon of food into our mouths. I am not too sure but some people even eat with their bare hands. But do note that if you are going to eat a plate of rice with dishes with your bare hands, be sure to use only your right hand. The left hand is deemed as the unclean hand and should never touch the food.
Fun Fact 2: Knives are rarely found at stalls that have rice as the base. Exceptions would be stalls that sell Western Food. For stalls that sell rice with accompanying dishes where large pieces of meat are involved, we would use the spoon as a knife to slice through the meat. While it might seem odd to you, it is actually commonly done in Singapore and it works perfectly. But when bone-in meat is involved and using the spoon as a knife doesn't work, that's when using your bare hands is required.
Johor Bahru (in Malaysia) is commonly known as 'JB'. Many Malaysians who live in JB cross the bridge into Singapore each day to work. Singapore is indeed a nice, clean and safe place. Marina Bay is an absolute highlight and features many bars, restaurants and hotels. So is the Boat Quay on the Singapore River.
Ohh there you guys are! Woohoo I missed your vids so bad!!! 💛
Hey!
Well made travel vlog! I will give it 5 stars! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
The term market or Pa Sat in Lau Pa Sat actually comes from the word Bazaar which in turns influence the Malay word for market which is 'Pasar' (or it could be the other way round) and the Chinese term Ba Sha (Pa Sat is a Chinese Hokkien dialect pronunciation). So Bazaar, Pasar, Pa Sat which all mean the same thing, is just one example of the multi-lingual and multi-racial influence in Singaporean society. For example, the term Pa Sat in Chinese does not exist in China/Taiwan and is only uniquely used by Chinese in Singapore/Malaysia. Several other similar terms such as 'Go Astern' which came from British English has morphed into the word 'Gostan', commonly used here.
"Ba sha" and pat sat are basically the words adopted by the local hokkien, which then formed part of Singlish. It's essentially how the creole language is formed.
Basha is being passed out in singapore chinese textbooks and replaced with the proper Chinese word "caishichang". You see it less and less in local mediaas week. It's mostly being used informally now as opposed to 20 years ago.
Really awesome guys
There is another much more scenic route to the tree top walk via the MacRitchie reservoir boardwalk. However, it will take 4 hr through that longer route. You get to see lots more monkey and serene reservoir from that beautiful route.
HAHAHAHA😂You have done it right by experiencing the causeway. 😅
Glad you made it to the top!
I didn’t make it up to the top of Treetop Walk the one time I tried. I felt like fainting halfway and had no choice but to rest and wait for the guide to come back down.
Wow i never laughed on a tour video so much. you guys are super fun and hilarious. Love your energy. Keep up the videos!
We try haha! Thank you 🙏
Yes, Props to that uncle driving the grab car to introduce the three main seasons to these tourists
That chatty personality was to make your ride
Hawker centers are the go-to place for good food whenever Singapore are hungry.
Yes, you can eat and drink on the street
If the monkeys attack you, kick it or try to throw it off you then , Run, but if you are in a group you should be safe as they will be thinking twice before trying to attack.
It "got really European" cause Singapore was Colonized by the British in the past
Fantastic video of Singapore 💕👏
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Brilliant 5 star video editing
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
You guys should really try out the MBS hotel next time!!!also amazing vlog and as a Singaporean, I'm proud that you guys loved our small garden city!!!!
wow you guys have quite the stamina. 😄 you covered quite a lot in a day. I brought my relatives from overseas around Singapore not long ago, and we couldn't cover as much in a day coz they were exhausted due to the humidity and heat.
Haha we wanted to do something really really special with our limited time there and so glad we did! We were exhausted too believe me, just tried not to show it too much 😃 ❤️ 🇸🇬
If you get the chance to go back, I highly recommend visiting the zoo and bird park. A little far from the downtown core, but absolutely worth it. Budget the whole day for it.
As the other people mentioned, you can go to many other nature reserves in Singapore. Maybe you can even take a ferry out to Pulau Ubin which is a small island for hiking. There’s seafood restaurants there but remember to bring adequate water and take note of the ferry timing. The Changi Point Ferry Terminal also has an excellent food centre nearby (Changi Village Food Centre) with amazing food. Cheers!
Wow Singapore looks so beautiful. That passionfruit tea yummy😊
You must go also!
@@adamandyaz On our bucket list ✈️🌍
You need to come to Singapore from middle of June till August the 9th. We have fireworks every Saturday from middle of June till August 9th. It is so beautiful, you gonna love Singapore.
It is actually not illegal to chew gum in Singapore. It was the import and sale which fyi, has been lifted since 2004. Why people think it is illegal was actually due to a smear campaign by the US to force/shame Singapore into continuing to import of gum from them
I can't wait to be able to travel and just experience interacting with people from different cultures, different foods and different places, but until then I'll keep watching videos which like this which kinda makes me feel like on the trip with you guys lol.
Welcome mates. Cool couple. There are cheaper food & beer if you travel out of the touristy areas. Jus love your English accent. Jus enjoy your holiday here without any stress of being pickpocket or victim of crime.
nice vid, glad yall love Singapore. btw, locals don't drink rose syrup often... they order "Bandung". try that next time you come. Cheers
Welcome to Singapore!😊
As a local, I haven't even had these experiences you've had! Well-planned.
I have been to Singapore 3 times and Malaysia 6 times. I have been to Johor Bahru to get to Singapore on one of the trips - the process was quite easy.
They were strict on chewing gum but the city is so clean.and beautiful. You can easily do the main tours in 2/3 days without fuss but I did use the metro quite a bit to get to various places
I have no idea who started this fake news that we can’t chew gums in Singapore😵💫. For so many years we been explaining to ppl that many of u have been mistaken on the rule.(I suspect the creator been told by the clueless Malaysians before they came into Singapore)😂In fact the rule has never been changed, u can chew gums in Singapore, it’s only the SALE of gums is banned.
I noticed sometimes ppl just copy & paste news online even when they aren’t familiar or even sure about the REAL situation. I can only conclude why ppl have mistaken is due to the short form of English writing on the rule: “no chewing gum”. So when anyone sees this esp those who know vy little on English language would somehow assume that we are not allowed to chew gums😅..So I would like to clarify this to everyone again that U are still allowed to bring in gums from overseas for PERSONAL consumption only, just no sale on that,ok?🥰❤❤
That means to say If u bring in “many” big cartons of gums in, then of course that would attract the attention at the custom & the officer might assume u’re bringing in that many to sell them🙃If u get caught bringing too many gums in then they might impose a fine of NO MORE than SGD $2000 & might confiscate ur “stock” of gums😆🤭
Most foreigners has the misconception that it is illegal to be seen with chewing gum in Singapore😂I often brought over gum for friends and colleagues (not a lot of cause). You are not allowed to sell it (unless for medical reasons via the pharmacies) but you can consume.
Amazing vlog! Thanks for featuring our little island to the world. You guys seem so fun to hang out with! If you're ever back in town, please allow me to bring you to the places that the locals head to for a taste of the hidden gems of Singapore. Safe travels, until the next time!
Thank you for watching! We would love to! 😃
Chewing gum is not completely banned in Singapore, but its sale and import are tightly regulated. Singapore implemented strict regulations on chewing gum in the 1990s due to issues related to gum litter and vandalism. The government imposed a ban on the sale of chewing gum for several years, but these restrictions were relaxed over time. Chewing gum with therapeutic or dental benefits is allowed, but it needs to be purchased from a registered pharmacy and is subject to certain restrictions. However, the sale of regular chewing gum is not allowed. You can bring in chewing gum for your personal consumption but importing large quantities may raise questions at the customs as you might be deemed to be selling them in Singapore. So, in short, you can consumed chewing gum brought in by you for your own personal consumption.
Ahh good to know thank you 🙏❤️
Love!
It's great when you're just visiting.
The ending is fab!😂
Haha thanks 😃❤️
Singapore ❤❤❤❤ love this country
Rare to see tourists visiting the treetop walk! 💪
We couldn't miss it!
Adam & Yaz ! Adam & Yaz !Adam & Yaz ! it's great to see you again! Jojo
Hey hey 😃 ❤️
I am a Singaporean. You may have a couple of chewing gums for your own consumption. No crime unless you are importing them for commercial sales. On several occasions, I cross over to Johor Baru to get chewing gums for myself.
Cool Have a Nice Sleep!!!
You two are a nice couple, I really enjoyed your video…
Thank you Mark! 😃❤️
Nice vlog
Singapore is fun city to visit.
So fun to visit! ❤️ 🇸🇬
If you are a tourist staying here for a few days, it's nice. But try staying for the rest of your life here.
It’s fine for me - safe, efficient, clean, no natural disasters or wars, first class amenities - what’s there yo complain about? For those who complain n don’t like living here - they should migrate to other countries where it’s cheaper - but no air con buses or mrt, dusty roads, take longest time to get anything fixed etc. Every country has its pros n cons.
Nice vlog - thanks. Everyone loves Singapore ! (Why get the bus that sits in traffic when you can get the MRT train?)
Thank you for watching. Didn't even know that was an option 😅
Like your sense of humour.
We are a former colony of great Britain, so yeah our old architecture is mainly european 😊
Welcome to Singapore 👋👋
Thank you!
thank you uk for founding singapore.
🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇸🇬
Singapore is country nice city
Great exsplorr
its funny that people always complaint that Singapore is so small there is nothing to do and required to travel outside. i see you going to MacR for the treetop walk kudos to that! you can find many activities in Singapore, but if you arent active, every country are the same.. shopping, eating, talking about eating, etc.
In your next trip you can add wind surfing at east coast, kayaking around pulau ubin, Bukit timah to MacRichie hike (10km to 25km walk), hot spring at Sembawang. Singapore is not all about shopping and eating expensive like some dumb neighbors.
Welcome to Singapore 😘
Thank you ❤️🇸🇬
Hey the next time you are back, try cycling, we have an extensive network of cycling paths. This way, you can travel faster and see more. If your bike is a foldie, u can bring it on the SMRT, otherwise, there are many places you can rent a bike by the hour or day.
i can imagine the 30000 steps that you guys had on your 1st day in Singapore!
It felt like way more than that even haha
Ooh yeah! Public holiday the causeway sure be jam. The day before the public holiday... That why if Singaporean want to drive into Malaysia. Get up every early as 4am onwards to avoid massive jam on the causeway towards Malaysian. And when coming back Singapore, be at the causeway before 6 pm.
Wait till you see Shanghai!
actually, you could get drinking water from the water cooler at the ranger station just before the treetop trail
Ah, did not see that haha
wow❤
❤️
Next time u should try going 2the:East Coast,the food there's yum
Most English speaking you encounter was Singlish ( direct translation from local chinese/malay mixed dialets into english) eg. Lau Pa Sat (chinese/hokkien translation) into Singlish.
Singaporean here. You can bring chewing gum in and you're allowed to eat it. You're just not allowed to sell it here.
If drop by to Singapore
Please do drop by at Albert Center
Same time visit the Wash Rooms at the Center
And conpare
With Other county's wash rooms
Not to forget to pay
Before you enter the wash room
Not many tourist would go to the treetop. Kudos to you. Btw i have not been there myself 😢
Yep, we wanted to do something special with our limited time there and so glad we did!
Chewing gum is fine. You cannot purchase it in Singapore but it is not illegal to chew it. You can bring it into Singapore only for personal consumption.
Welcome to Singapore. Every tourists says Singapore is clean and wonderful. But what I feel is . Locals living here are not very happy. Overall is very packed and stressed life.
Do you know that those super trees are actually chimneys. The garden uses the waste to energy technology to generate electricity. But, if you noticed....there are no smoke coming out of those super tree chimneys.
Officially you cannot bring in chewing gums. But for small quantities say in your pockets, or in your bag pockets, it should be fine. But it was never explicitly stated by the authorities that this is okay
Welcome to Singapore, enjoy your stay, free WiFi at airport, mrt n hospital FYI.
Sally, nothing happened as long not drugs, anyway welcome to Singapore hope you enjoy your holiday in Singapore 🎉🥰😆
Thank you ❤️🇸🇬
Ladies lose body heat faster than guys do (lower mass to surface area ratio). Give it a few weeks and you'd be wearing a cardigan on windier days there.
Also, the whole 'police-state' perception is way out of proportion. They actually have fewer police officers per capita than New Zealand (where I currently live) and probably the UK too (I need to double-check that). I've lived im Singapore as a brown minority person and have nevee been stopped by the cops; I get stopped in Wellington almost every time I wear my flatpack.
Ah well, I think I'd rather be thought of as strict but actually have fewer police, people arrested/serving a sentence and safer streets, than be seen as more 'liberal' bur actually worse off on all those outcomes.
The police state image is just a concoction of narrow western liberal media
I think Singapore has the perfect balance of strictness and liberalism and it shows on the streets. So modern, so clean, so safe ❤️ 🇸🇬
@@adamandyaz Thanks at the end of the day, there's no perfect country. We all live within our means.
It is only illegal to import chewing gum for sale. You would have been fine with what you had but better safe than sorry.
Great video
Yeh we know now but always try to be cautious haha
