Hi Alex, I'm a Singaporean n I watch a lot of vloggers talking about Singapore as I'm interested to hear what they think of my city. I must give credit where credit is due. You r the first or maybe the only person the is so specific about everything. The first, was when you mentioned that all tables st the hawker centres have s table number for easy identification. This is do because when ordering food the stall holders or their assistants would normally ask for the table number so that they don't have to go around looking for the customer, by which time the food might be cold. You also mentioned about the different denominations ( currency ) which no one else mentioned. You may or may not know this but for anyone reading this, no one carry guns in Singapore because if you r caught, there's two different sentences. First is life in prison. Second, if you discharge it whether anyone is hurt, it's death by hanging. Next is vandalism. Anyone caught will be hurled to court, fined, jailed n will be canned ( amount of strokes will be at the mercy of the judge). For foreigners, after you serve your sentence m punishment you'll be deported n can NEVER enter Singapore again.
I used to visit Sin once 2 years ago and still surprisingly impressed by the vast quantities of useful tips and recommendations that you provided. By the way, this is the ultimate in traveling guide i suppose. Nice work and keep doing ^^
Singapore MRT is not a good place for white people and brown. A lot of locals, specially old people seems to hate travellers. Just search on youtube, there are so many videos
it would be a great video if you cover the travel industry kick starting again when it does, I know you focus on cities but think youd do a cracking video about what impact this has had and the changes when we get going again
Love your travel guides! They are my go-to as a world traveller but I have to disagree with you on one point. I said to my partner that we have to go to McDonald's to try the Mc Spicy! She's like what? McDonald's!!!! No way, you never eat that stuff but I resisted her protest and after a superb Singapore sling at Raffles, we duly crossed the road and ordered the Mc spicy and prepared our but-holes. TBH, we didn't find it that spicy. But holes intact.
Good, accurate tips. Update: Uber has left Singapore. Grab had a monopoly for a short while, and then Go-Jek entered the market. Taxi fares have been rationalised – most of the fees and surcharges have been removed. But go with Grab or Go-Jek. You can agree to the fare upfront before you book.
I love Singapore. Will travel back since I barely scratched the surfae in a 5-day vacation. I need to see more. However, I tried experimenting on trying the different Hainanese Chicken places at the Hawker Center. There is no difference in taste between those with long lines and those that do not. I don't know..maybe the locals taste something that I don't.
Can you PLEASE stop calling yourself Sherpa?? I truly appreciate your videos but reducing a whole ethnic group to one job which they are often forced to do for lack of other options is objectifying and disgraceful. The sherpa people's lives are often tragic and humiliating, the least we can do is not to treat the word "sherpa" synonymous with "porter/guide". I recommend the following fragment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmH0__c7aw Glory or Death: Climbing Mount Everest (Full Segment) | Real Sports w/ Bryant Gumbel | HBO Thank You.
Yes, i take the MRT into the city. The first time i ever took the MRT into the city a beautiful singaporean girl helped me with the map. I new where I was going, i just happen to love looking at maps and was getting my bearings as that was my first time in Singapore. But she insisted on helping me and well… I didn't argue! I love Singapore!
Thank you for taking time telling us about the food etiquette in Hawker centers.. We're not really sure if we should clean after we go or we should just leave our trays behind. So yeah, cheers mate!
It is a GORGEOUS city. We've just been and it is sparkling clean, beautiful and a delight to visit. Chinatown and Little Saigon are high on my list of experiences. We stayed at a reasonably priced hotel on Hongkong Road in the Charles Quay area and it was a great location. Minutes from the MRT Station at Charles Quay and Chinatown. The city is pricy but you can get away with a cultural experience worthy of many beautiful memories without going full-on baller! I will be back Singapore <3
Huge news! The Attaché BOOK project is now live! This book is two years in the making and I'm so excited to share it with you.

With recent global events are there any updated episodes planned?
CHINATOWN in Singapore is amazing and unforgettable.
Changi airport sunflower Garden is so nice!
Watch the planes land while listening to soft classical music
So peacefull
I walked along Geylang Road last February. Interesting place. Just published a video on Geylang Road on my youTube channel.
I am from South Africa, Joburg, and I had a lot of difficulty with the heat and humidity in Singapore. Anyone else experience this?

Food – check, check, check!

Activities – check
Affordability – check

It's really a perfect city for tourists.

Any plans for a updated video? Great work!

High tea at a TWG venue (there are many). And the crab! the crab definitely deserves mentioning. And tasting of course

Mr T. Haha. Kept on referring to it this way while we were there!

Ah yes! The Hainanese Chicken Rice. A visit to Singapore is not complete without a serving of their legendary Hainanese Chicken Rice.
It is a GORGEOUS city. We've just been and it is sparkling clean, beautiful and a delight to visit. Chinatown and Little Saigon are high on my list of experiences. We stayed at a reasonably priced hotel on Hongkong Road in the Charles Quay area and it was a great location. Minutes from the MRT Station at Charles Quay and Chinatown.

One of best travel reviews. Accurate, beautifully shot, humorous and most importantly .. useful
Will you guys make another more recent one considering all the changes? Love the channel! Thank you!
What does Singapore call their prostitutes? Singawhores?
