    I will be visiting Singapore next month. I found your channel when I searched for "How to use public transport in Singapore." Afterwards, I got hooked on your videos. Your videos are not only helpful but also presented in an interesting style, which made me more hyped about exploring the culture, food, and diversity in Singapore. Thanks for the awesome content, man! Keep smiling - that's the beauty of your videos.

    We were there in July and LOVED Singapore..sadly 6 days was not enough! Suggestion is to research first because the place is not really that expensive if you know how to get around (train and buses) Singapore you will know that it is really not that expensive - THANKFUL FOR HAWKERS! Walking would be the best thing to do because it lets you see how good and how clean the place is. Plus the honesty of the people is truly a blessing!

    i found Singapore to be very nice. I had a great time. The food at the hawker centers is great. I stayed in a hotel way out on the coast and paid a low price. The hotel had a shuttle bus to and from the airport. You can take the train anywhere from there. It doesn't need to cost fortune to go there.

    I'll be travelling to Singapore for a couple of days on my layover from Vietnam back home next month and am very much looking forward to it. Just researching what to do and visit has me so excited for this short trip. I really don't get how these people are so unprepared and uninformed before they travel to places.

    Was there the last two weeks, for the second time.
    Took MRT and bus everywhere or walked.
    Only one time took Grab because I overestimated my ability to handle the heat plus walking that day 😂
    Hotel was maybe a bit more expensive (around 230 SGD/day) but was definitely worth it.
    I think I have seen most tourist spots, but I still want to go back 😊
    Singapore is just a beautiful country ❤

    Many more senior hawkers only know simple English. Hence when they response using simple words straight to the point, they may sound rude. They work more than 12 hours per day, many starting since the early mornings, it is hard work.

    Hello the problem is that the videos come from spoilt kids, who regards themselves to be world travelers . I am from Europe and now live in a Thai area in Thailand. I say Europe as I have travel and lived in many countries of the world more than my home country. Traveling is amazing as you experience life and culture in many different countries and debunk the media crap you see in the news. In real life you are going to met different people who like you have moods both good & bad, busy working etc, So you cannot take a single experience and say that's the whole country. I find most tourist do not prepare themselves both physical and mentally for travel ... I see this in Thailand everyday .. I have been to Singapore it's amazing country, with so many experiences to embrace.. In Bangkok & Singapore like most major city's you can pay a premium to stay in the best hotels but you can find cheaper places if you research and most of the times better .. Case in point i pay 3,500 each mth for everything, where a beach condo i can clearly see from my window less than a km away can pay up 40,000 baht just for the rent and they live in a skyscraper ...
    I don't pay that kind money for 2 months of my totally living expensive and live very well. Travel is great and very educational, the more you educated yourself the better your travel experience will be.

    We just got back from Singapore, we are already talking about our next trip! and even having to get a large private transfer to and from the airport (family of 4 with big bags!) was only $65 each way!
    You can get to Legoland in Malaysia for $100! So no idea who she used for her transfer!

  • @pohleon9941

    I guess some of these TikTokers were just trying to show off how much they can effort to spend for their holidays. But instead it is a reflection of how irresponsible they were to their own pockets, and poor planner for their holidays. Another point is some travelers “hopping” but disappointed when they realized most service-providers in Singapore are not “just another Asian” who look up to them when serving them. I am not saying our service providers are right, but unfortunately most service-providers in Singapore don’t “bend their backs” when serving customers. For instant, where else do you see hawkers can have the choice to open only on selected days, or even selected hours?

    😂 I think you could have done better if you wanted defend, instead of just keep asking people to go hawker centres! e.g. You could have just searched in grab how much it costs to travel from airport to MBS as a prove that it doesnt cost $90! You could have found examples of most affordable hotels which are not hostel level but decent and affordable. Also, I don’t really understand how you kind of acknowledged there is no natural substances in Singapore. There a lot of nature reserve parks, rainforests, mangrove forests etc and a lot of wild animals like otter, peacocks etc in the city. Your video didn’t really help defending much in my opinion as a Singaporean 😅 perhaps you need more substances in the first place

    • @dashingheights
      @dashingheights  4 години тому +1

      That's some very good pointers you raised!!
      From my understanding, tourists coming to Singapore are disappointed at the lack of GRAND-scale nature attractions. In my opinion, in the first place nature-spots are not Singapore's main selling point anyway, so don't be expecting something that's not the main strength to begin with. For example, if you go to a fruit shop, don't complain that you cant find bread.

    Bro, SG is not for everyone n we r not perfect. Frankly, some tourists have high expectations for SG after watching crazy rich Asians. Lack of natural beauty is a common comment for tourists coming from large countries like usa canada even china. Not all tourists do their homework and understand geography well. Singapore is so small and compact yet we can be so green and city is well planned. Visitors will still find comfort n space. Not all our service providers are polite. We can certainly improve on that. But, generally we are doing better vs other asian cities. SG is still cheap for restaurant food comparing with big cities in the west. Easy bro !
