I personally discovered that the more you travel to different countries, the more you appreciate being Singaporean and living here. I used to be very very dissatisfied. Then when I had the opportunity to travel solo whenever I could afford it, I came back with fresh eyes, more grateful attitude and a constant appreciation for our history and culture. Singapore will always be my home. I am super proud of my homeland.

I went to Korea (not Japan) during a 40-41 degree summer. That same year, Japan was having a devastating heatwave. My aircon broke down in my airbnb, the owner felt so bad he refunded the whole trip and brought me water every day. I would wake up (curtains drawn) sweating, I would be drenched the moment I got out of the train station. I literally cried on multiple occasions. I got back to Singapore and never complained about the heat again for the next 7 years of my life.

It is true that we are greatly blessed. Though we are very small and do not have much beautiful nature like Japan, but the govt has done very well in making living here so convenient and comfortable to enhance our living environment. We cannot compare with those naturally well endowed cities or countries but we have a pretty good standard of living comparable to any city in the world. I am thankful especially whenever i return from travelling overseas.

One feature that i am very appreciative of - is the Covered Walkways. If one lives in an HDB estate you’ll be adequately shielded from rain or the scorching sun. Not a problem if you do not have an umbrella with you. These covered walkways are linked to bus stops, MRT stns, markets, food centres, schools. This is unique to Sg.

Good informative video, observant Ghib- San. Many Singaporeans are taking the good things here for granted. I like Singapore for safety, especially no natural disasters, varieties of food from Asean, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Western food. Although Singapore is a tiny red city but has good transportation networks like air and sea transport with the regions. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc, easy to travel for short trips to enjoy long weekend holiday.

Echoing other comments, I agree with the points brought up in the video. Some Singaporeans take things for granted. I have experienced earthquakes in Taiwan, hurricane warnings in US and nearly missed a flight back from Macau due to Hurricane. In Singapore, all we have is some rain and the occasional ponding. For the things brought up about Japanese public responsibility and consideration, Singaporeans can really learn a lot from Japanese and be more civil-minded and considerate.

There's no real utopia on this planet but I agree with Ghib on appreciating Singapore. What I never expect Ghib to feel is that he appreciates living in Singapore more than Japan. I guess that the level of freedom to express yourself and be yourself here is the main point that drove Ghib to stay here. I feel that Ghib may apply for citizenship when the opportunity arises. Being a PR is already a step closer that. Ghib, we love you~ 💗

Ghib, I totally agree with you on so many things! The presence of shade from trees and sheltered walkways make such a huge difference in terms of heat. Commute in Tokyo is something I have not gotten used to in my 6 years here. Having things digital and done online also makes a huge difference in how convenient it is to get things done. Let's not even talk about the rental process in Japan. Key money...plus immediate rejection of application if one is not local. It is true how so many Singaporeans take what they have for granted. On the other hand, your lovely wife made such great points about Japan too! Its nature is truly beautiful especially with the changing seasons. And I always tell everyone that Japan has the best toilets and convenience stores in the whole universe. Unbeatable.

The issue is not the mindset. Look at fast food outlets, everyone automatically return their trays. Meanwhile for hawker centers, they didn't even have obvious tray return points before they roll out the concept. U literally have to go to the back near the washing point or find the cleaner's trolley. The whole concept of convenient tray return points was only introduced before the fine period. Ofc there would be an adjustment period

about taxi fares, its actually more related to how taxi companies want to price themselves. taxi drivers here are now mostly renting their taxis from taxi companies. the fare range is also decided by these companies. so this actually forces taxi drivers to work harder to get a better earning (work less and you might not even be able to foot the rental for the day)

Many Singaporeans take things for granted.....complain and complain if they have not travelled or lived or find out about other countries neaby, be it Asia or even US or Europe...making comparison...in social/poltical/economic aspect of things. Look at our history, our past and what we have achieved today.... Just the very basic need of having a roof over our top....a place to live in, for local Sinvaporeans, i am already grateful for that. Our government has provided us in an economical manner ,90% home ownership is something uniquely Singapore, not even achieved by many countries. Just base on this, home ownership, is something many have taken for granted....and complain n complain. Our CPF system, has helped many to be able to pay their monthly installment comfortably based upon their ability and choice of size of flats. Looking at other 3 dragons..our peer country like Taiwan, Korea , Hong Kong....in terms of housing...one will appreciate more about Singapore. For HK, their biggest so called public housing size is about 500 sqft, cost 400K sing dollar or more. Hk only has about 17 percent of public home ownership. 50% of residents actually have to pay for much more expensive private apartment with sizes that are even smaller...

And LQS is somehow related how many foreign workers can be employed for a firm. In short, to be able to assess to foreign workers, a firm has to pay minimumly $1400 or more to locals. So in a way.

Totally agree with the digitalization. Alot of process and legal , work related matters still require physical forms, physical signatures and stamping. Digital signatures are not accepted.

The maddening bureaucracy, inefficiency, resistance to technology, complex and difficult language, xenophobia and racism will sink the dreams of 98% of all aspiring Singaporean migrants to Japan. Also, hefty tax burdens, stagnant and low wages and fewer job and economic opportunities. Singaporeans are too used to convenience and digital working styles and lifestyles. Plus side of Japan: cheap and good quality products/food, low property prices, low car prices, beautiful nature and excellent weather, higher customer service standards, vast national territory, lots and lots of freehold land (cheap also). People are more fashionable and image-conscious (can be a minus for Singaporeans who are more casual and laidback in dressing). If Singapore and Japan combined it would be the powerhouse economy of Asia.

I can attest to the awful hot summer in Japan. It's so so so much worse than Singapore that I will choose to avoid going to Japan from Jul to Sep if I can.😅

Yes, summer is hotter in Japan, but it only lasts for a couple of months at most and it's not always that bad. In addition, you can choose to leave the big city and go to more chilling places to escape the heat once in a while. E.g. there are many day hiking places around Tokyo that are in higher altitudes and are cooler. By contrast, Singapore is hot and humid all the time. There is nowhere to escape except the malls. There are nice places to visit but I've grown to avoid going out. In general, I find life during summer much more enjoyable in Tokyo despite it being hotter.
