    Really good video. We’re currently in Sing and while, yes, it is one of the most surveiled cities in the world, it’s also one where people have long understood (since Lee Kwan Yew’s time as the head of state) that certain standards of behavior need to be followed in order to make a city as densely populated as Singapore a livable place. So you don’t see people cutting in lines. You see people making seats available on the buses and MRT’s for seniors. You see people leaving all manner of things, including purses and other valuable, to reserve a table at a hawker center while they get their food and never see it moved nor see the table poached. It’s very much like Japan in those ways. Behavioral norms are taught and enforced from a young age. My wife’s from Singapore, so we’ve visited quite often to visit her extended family. And we’ve often talked that if it wasn’t so expensive that it would make a great place to retire.
    Anyway, again, great video.

    • @thomasday8155
      @thomasday8155 2 роки тому

      We truly do not have a single destination that is our favorite. We enjoy meeting and experiencing the people and culture of all the countries we visit.
      We have been to all 7 Wonders of the Modern World and we found Machu Pichu to be the most impressive given the complexity/precision of its construction, the location of the site, and the stunning beauty of the location.
      Among the things we usually visit are religious sites. The two most impressive have been St Peter's Basillica in Rome for sheer beauty and the Anghor Wat complex in Siem Reap Cambodia for its scope, scale and detail. I would also add Old City Jerusalem, we stayed several nights in the Arab Quarter and toured throughout. This is such a significant location to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
      Besides travel, we also have lived and worked outside the US. 2 1/2 years in Brussels Belgium (2019-2021) and 1 year in Daegu Korea (1982-1983). I met and married my wife in Korea.
      On a personal level, I find Korea to be the most amazing country in the world. In 1983, it was truly just a developing country. Today it is a modern country that is a significant contributer to the world economy, technology, and culture - especially entertainment. It makes you realize that there are countries around the world that have more modern aspects than the US.
      If you ever go to Korea, be sure to see much more than just Seoul. Go to Busan, Sokcho, Jejudo, Jeonju, Daegu, Ulleungdo, Gyeongju, Suncheon and so many more. See the state of the art modern architecture, but also see the well-preseved historical structures. I would especially recommend seeing the "Three Jewel Buddhist Temples".
      My wife and I have committed to stay in Korea for at least 3 months each year, in addition to the rest of our world travels.
      Best wishes on your travels.

    Did the PDX-LAX-NRT-SIN flight in the past. Have flown to Narita a number of times, but those extra 6-7 hours to arrive in Singapore at 1 am in January was just so different weather and time wise from the west coast in the winter. 70s and humidity upon arrival at the equator.

    I discovered your vacation vlogs when I stumbled across the ones from the Philippines. That was the only time I subscribed to your channel, and that is when I first became attached. In spite of the fact that your old vlogs,all of them are highly produced and pleasant to watch and feature your entire family, While I was watching them, I noticed that they weren't getting nearly as many views, and I was just really sorry about it.But Im sure getting a lot of views is just a bonus for you.I can tell that you love to travel with the whole family. I also noted and compared that during your series on your travels in the Philippines, your viewership increased significantly.I hope you quickly reach 100k subscribers; if you had stayed a little longer, your subscriber count might have doubled. Also, thank you for visiting the country; you are one of my favorite vloggers now( try to look for making it happen,juicy vlog,becoming a filipino,8 miles from home,Mergim and a lot more , these are foreign vloggers who are loving to live in the Philippines) who makes significant contributions to the travel and tourist industry in the Philippines showcasing the beauty of the Philippine islands and its people,culture,food,history etc. I'm eager to see your family in the Philippines again for a subsequent episode of the "island hopping" series. Philippines has so many stunning islands that you'll never run out. I hope your stated intention to visit the Philippines in February 2023 materializes.Am looking forward to it.Blessings and safety on your travels. Rich family yet so down to earth.I hope you can still read this comment.Im watching your older vlogs.

    I've been 1K or higher at United for over 20 years. I take the flight from SFO-SIN usually 3-5 times per year.
    That obviously changed in 2020, but I'm back to flying to and from Singapore as the restrictions were relieved.
    As someone who buys Economy Premium (once it became available) and puts in for upgrade; what led you to believe you would be upgraded to Polaris?

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  2 роки тому

      This was the first time we didn’t make Polaris after using plus points to put us on the upgrade list. A large part has been due to our travels the past two years when people weren’t flying as much and there wasn’t as much competition for the upgrade. Another factor is the rise in base price for the flights, these tickets were a lower fare class fare, which puts us lower on the upgrade list.

    • @thomasday8155
      @thomasday8155 2 роки тому

      During COVID-19 restricted travel, this was true. As restrictions were relaxed or eliminated, Business travel resumed. In turn, upgrades are difficult to come by. Given my status, the length of time in that status, and the fact I purchase Premium Economy, I'll get upgraded before you every time. Yet, I struggle to get the upgrade. The good news for me is that I at least have the comfort of Premium Economy. What I'm doing is not uncommon among 1K.
      When I book a flight I always check the number of available seats in Polaris. I put in the upgrade the same day. I then monitor the number of available Polaris seats as the flight day approaches. This provides a good indication of the likelihood of upgrade.

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  2 роки тому

      @@thomasday8155 we have learned, after mileage plus status, the biggest contributor to securing an upgrade is fare class level when you book your ticket. Here is a great chart I’ve discovered that helps us when looking into future flights: cwsi.net/m/united.htm We’ve also gotten the advice to try and book premium economy plus when economically possible for us, that way premium economy plus is secured and we’d likely be first in line for the Polaris upgrade.
