I saw you guys are cycling against the coming traffic at video timing 8.55. That is against the law in Singapore. That shown how disrepectful you guys are? Thinking this is in Vietnam that even car and motorbike can go against the traffic. Do forget that if you are hitted by incoming car, that is your fault and accordingly to law, insurance company will not be responsible and will not compensate you anything. Because your are cycling against the traffic flow.

[@tetsuyainsingapore]

That's pretty true that in Singapore cars wait for pedestrians, which is really good. I miss Hawkers food as well. Tonkatsu looks good. In Singapore, even a small children are eating Udon, the traditional Japanese noodle. I was surprised how much Japanese food was common.

[@andrewnorris5415]

I love how you consider living in different countries. And go to the effort to learn a language. The world is so much open now. Which encourages more understanding and peace than we would otherwise have. Still some way to go, but the world is getting better on the whole for sure!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Life is no fun when you're trapped in a small bubble. Learning new languages and meeting people with different backgrounds is such a great experience.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! 😃Hope to film more cycling videos there.

[@IZTheOne]

Glad you guys had an amazing experience cycling here. Yes, it's an orderly and well-organized country, it could be boring to some, that's what they say but having the assurance and stability at the back of one's mind living here is the positive side of it. We can always travel out since Singapore is well connected but I'll always be looking forward to my trip back after some travel outside the country. Come back when you have the time in the future.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

We'll definitely be back.

[@japanscousertv]

I don't know what Thuong has made greater strides with - her cycling power or her English - probably both!! Seriously impressed so RESPECT!!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! 😁 That's true, she's been improving with both.

[@smiggee]

Wow, the scenery is out of the box clean. I actually thought at the start you guys were on a movie set where everything is perfectly in place. From the bike rides, I'll have to put Singapore on the list of places I can look to ride in. I watched your Taiwan vlogs and once there, I did some riding, but it was winter so no loop around the island. Next visit I'll get more adventurous, although around Taipei, it's just as bad as Vietnam, with the traffic and scooters. Glad it was a good trip for you two.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Yeah, it's really clean no matter where you go. I'm surprised you felt that way about Taipei compared to Vietnam. To us it's like night and day 😅

[@smiggee]

@@TwoWheelCruise In Taipei, its easy to get around with public transportation once you figure it out, but I noticed a lot of similarities, such as scooters used and parked on sidewalks, the honking, going backwards down streets and just the overall congestion. Now once out of Taipei, it's awesome. Mainly where I rode along the river away from traffic, I had no problem and felt more like my home rides. It definitely was a cultural shock my first visit to see so many scooters as a main option of transportation.

[@xbmarx]

Singapore is one of the nicest cities in the world. I'd live there in a second.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

For sure!

[@Anonymous28_]

Singapore is highly underrated I know cause I live there

[@chankhuilau6820]

There is designated bike lane if you can go onto covered walkway.

[@erxu]

Japan used to have public trash bins unti the "地下鉄サリン事件" on the 20th of March 1995, then, it was decided that it was a possible place to hide "bombs", etc, and they were taken away for good. That's why you have to carry your garbage till you can dispose of it at your home or most likely a combini store.

[@timtigerz1]

wherever you two decide to land it'll be great. Continued happiness and we hope to meet you guys someday.

KZbin is so weird sometimes. I know they say putting your face on the thumb-nail helps the algorithm, but even subconsciously it works. I popped up KZbin, and was like "oh, yeah, I know those guys!" and now here I am watching another fun adventure! I think it's fascinating how in a world of click-bait, words themselves have lost so much meaning, but a face is a good representation of the ideas and integrity of a channel. It didn't even matter what the title of the video was. I just knew the people who produced it were awesome. Keep up the good work!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

We're still figuring it out haha 😂 I guess we gotta do more thumbnails with clear face shots though.

Yes, that was the original plan. Very excited now that we can start traveling normally again without restrictions.

[@samchunghoon1819]

Singaporean here, many just like to hog the shared path despite ringing bell 3 or 4 times. And many pedestrian know the existence of bicycle lane and know they are on it, they still like to walk on it instead on the walk lane.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Yeah, that's the disadvantage of not clearly separating the paths. The same problem was in Japan for us too.

[@GordoGambler]

There's NO such problem in Canada. But there are some really busy bike lanes in Toronto and Vancouver.

I heard that when Singapore become independence after separated from Malaysia, 75% of the populations are Chinese descends. During that separation time, Singapore currency which is called Singapore dollar is the same value to Malaysia Ringgit. 1 dollar equal to 1 ringgit. 10 after that it is 1 Singapore dollar to 1.5 ringgit. 20 later it is 1 Singapore to 2 ringgit. Today the exchange rate is 1 Singapore dollar to 3.3 ringgit. See the different is so great.

[@ivanteo1973]

You are lucky, now its rainy season so its cooler. The last couple of years are very hot and humid. Even local born and bred like me cannot take it. Another thing I wanted to point out is that pedestrians are not the king. There are several accidents happening as a result of vehicles not stopping at pedestrians crossing. So make sure the vehicle stop before you cross.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

[@NightOwwl728]

I had also heard that it was an expensive destination. Out of curiosity, looked up the cost of living on Numbeo and that sentiment does seem to be true if one is intending to settle there for a while, but, I guess if you're just visiting, the expenses can be mitigated somewhat as you mentioned. But, it does look great.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

The rent is more expensive, but the local salaries are also higher and many jobs provide a housing subsidy

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

One of the reason why emission standards of cars are great because of the 10 years ownership permit (COE). That means after 10 years you have to pay again to drive the same car or buy new - which make more sense (e.g. there a monetary incentive scarp the car at 10 years, higher road tax for cars > 10 yo). Thus, newer cars are mostly on the road. The current going rate of a 10 years permit is about USD 77K. So a new Prius cost about USD 110K. Motorcycle permit is now about USD 8.5K. That's to reduce congestion in SG. Otherwise everyone can buy a car given our GDP per capita is about USD61K. Thus, the government invest a lot on the public transport. May not be perfect but that's the direction - less cars, more public transport, last mile transport like folding bikes.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

I'm curious how electric cars will affect this? It seems like Singapore could easily fully switch to electric.

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

@@TwoWheelCruise electric car have up to 20K up front tax reduction. Still expensive e.g. 125k for Tesla 3. And the government is slowly building infrastructure. But owners like me will wait out the 10 years period or change when it makes economic sense. They will phase out combustion engine vehicles sales by 2030 iirc Electric or not, cars take up space in this small island. So the car population still need to be controlled. Right now high taxes is used. I doubt it will change fundamentally

[@GordoGambler]

@@NEAAFFAIRS So, do the grocery stores have big guarded bicycle parking areas like at Big C in Vietnam??

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

@@GordoGambler no they don't have guards. My Brompton goes with me everywhere. They have parking space where you can lock your bike. But I wouldn't risk it.

[@jolly7728]

Singapore looks fantastic! Difficult to buy a house there, though, if you are a foreigner -- so I've heard. There are other island-nations with similar real estate policies, but Singapore has got to be one of the most livable, looks like. Apparently, Thuong likes to dance and has some impressive basic moves 🙂 Oh yes, her English is coming along very nicely. We get to know her better and can appreciate the way she complements your personality and adds to the experience of your travels. Looks like four different languages are spoken there. How prevalent is English (saw some street signs in English)? Based on your videos, Singapore seems like a cyclist's paradise. I really appreciate the way you compare/contrast the country you are in with Viet Nam and Japan. Appreciate the pros and cons of those Asian countries. It’s all good, though. As always, your content opens our eyes to amazing parts of the world through our shared passion--cycling. Thanks for the wholesome and informative videos.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Yeah, it's difficult for foreigners to buy houses or land in most Asian countries. Japan is actually quite easy if you have cash, but getting loans is very difficult. English is the main language in Singapore, but most people also learn a second language based on their family/race. Thuong and I are both bad dancers, but she did good for a few seconds there haha.

@@TwoWheelCruise you can always create the business entity but just keep living elsewhere while you slowly build it up.

I know you mentioned that you were both thinking of moving back to Japan, but have you changed your thoughts now? After watching your videos, Singapore looks like a very good option. Perhaps you could relate to us what emigrating to Singapore entails. Great video. I give Singapore a score of 11 out of 10. I have a bucket list set up, and Singapore has taken top spot now placing Japan in second.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Haha no autographs, just photos. We are considering moving here. It seems pretty straightforward as long as you have a job that can sponsor your visa. It's better than Japan in some ways, more diverse so you don't feel like a stranger even if you live there 10 years and no earthquakes. It is really small though, so it might get boring once you're there long enough.

[@kisin]

when i first went to Singapore almost 2 decades ago, bicycles were technically not allowed on sidewalks. nowadays they've compromised to allow non motorised bicycles which is good because i recall a couple fatal accidents involving school students while cycling on the roads. motorists have also become more accepting of cyclists on roads especially after covid, perhaps because of the sheer number of ppl who took up the sport during the lockdowns; many of the motorists are cyclists themselves! impressive to see how quickly singapore's cycling infrastructure has evolved. just wished the weather was more conducive for daily commuting

If those side walk ways are in U$, I am sure it will be mostly occupied by homeless.

I did 7 months in prison in SG for dropping a banana peel. I got good at push ups!

It is a expensive place mind you. I am born here. It's getting ridiculously expensive. Perhaps money matter is not a problem for you but there are citizens actually struggling on a day to day basis. What you are seeing is the surface

I worked in Singapore from 1990 to 1993. Even then, the govn already targeted Switzerland standard of living, and prepared their citizens with the higher cost of living in Singapore. Salaries need to be high and that had nearly been achieved. But social security is non existent so income gap is high. Singapore should also copy Switzerland 's social security also, or else the high cost of living will be unsustainable. Worst, global competiveness forced native Singaporeans out of the job market. What is the point of all the high income if original Singaporeans do not benefit? Again, learn from Switzerland.

We spent more in this one week than we usually do for a full month 😂 Definitely cannot afford it unless we had higher paying jobs.

@@TwoWheelCruise Go and try the local food at the hawker centers or coffeeshops in the heartlands neighbourhood where the locals have their feed. Those you find in the central and the city area are really expensive.

If you choose to go restaurant and eat everyday,of course it will be expensive. For basic necessities and food,we are consider affordable. With inflation affecting around the world,this inflation doesn't just affect Singapore. Take Thaland and Malaysia for example,do you think their basic necessities are cheap? Yes,if you are earning sin dollars,if you are a working class in these countries,they are struggling also. On surface,they look good also,no? There's no perfect country,but to say is unaffordable here is quite a sweeping statement.

I know someone who was born and lives there and it is very expensive. He also told me that your car (which is ridiculously expensive) has to be recycled every 5 or 10 years. Meaning, you need to get a new car… that aside, it does look pretty and peaceful but I’m sure it has its struggles like any other country. Cheers from Tampa Florida to you two. ❤
