Heading to Singapore soon and found your videos, amazing work, glad I caught them!

[@dk99]

Sad to see you leave. Do visit us again soon. Singaporeans have high expectations for everything. Most of us know our transport system is good compared to many countries. But we expect them to be even better. That's why you see us complaining about transportation all the time. And sometimes it's our demand for perfection that makes this island so beautiful. Anyway, complaining is one of our favourite past time. :) I know we are very backwards when it comes to recycling. This is one thing that we need to learn from the rest of the world and we need to learn fast. Great video! Keep them coming. Cheers!

[@jensentung]

Thanks for having me!

[@ceciLOVEtaco]

Transportation breaks down every month so you have to hire people from Taipei MRT to fix for you.... That's HIGH STANDARD ? That's cheapskate standard. Want to put 10 million people in the same small city with the SAME FACILITY.

Always refreshing to see Singapore from the outside perspective! Great video bro! 💪

[@jensentung]

I appreciate your openness! Thanks brother

[@professionalcommenter5]

I am born and raised in New York. I moved to Singapore two years ago for work. A lot points agreed. Locals always complain about the MRT. I think the MRT is one of the most cleanest, cheapest and efficient train systems on the planet. Yes no napkins and water. However in Canada and the US, how many places can you get a meal for the same price of what you would pay at a hawker center or food court. In New York, they will give free napkins, but lunch will also cost you 12usd (17 SGD). Pros and cons for sure

[@j2174]

Whats the average cost of a meal at a hawker?

[@retuygt8243]

@@j2174 it depends on what you order, where you order. At a neighbourhood hawker, a plate of chicken rice can cost only $2SGD to $3.50SGD.

[@BaadRomanceXD]

As a Singaporean student here, I’ve gotta agree on the strict education systems and laws that are imposed. And the recycling... PREACH. It’s really difficult to recycle here and that’s kinda upsetting, even as a metropolitan city. As for myself, I wish that I could go on an exchange to Canada or the US! That would be a dream.

[@jensentung]

Let me know if you ever come to Canada!

[@kaylee3761]

I planned my tour to Singapore in December after watching your video, and eventually made up my mind to try my best to get into NUS! Thank you for sharing us your life in Singapore through a creative way, which inspired me to a great extent :)

[@ogiola]

Love the intro! Keep up with the creativity!!

[@landanmasuda2539]

It is great to bring the best out of Singapore that motivates a person like myself to go to the country and traveling around South East Asia. Experiencing different culture bring an understanding of the customs, arts, social institutions, achievements of a particular nation and people of particular place. In Jensen Tung’s case it was Singapore. Thinking globally in a way that relates to the whole world and not just for ourselves. Do not be comfortable by getting out of your comfort zones especially on an exchange as a university student. Keep up the great videos!

[@salonilodha2161]

The production quality and the content is so Damm good. It's hard to keep my phone down.

It's been good journey to see your Videos to having experienced in Singapore, while I'm dreaming to go abroad and still worrying about many things that I always thinking in my mind, After seeing your conclusion about how to be survive with "don't be comfortable" I think it's quite, what can I said, I try to avoiding that, Unless the People who always make me want to explore everything that i never seen, also the food. Will Seeing your next Journey soon!

I’m getting nostalgic for my trip to Singapore I had in March now, watching this video ;’) Great video! I actually was thinking of applying to NUS, and this video is only accelerating that want 😂

[@Fritsswaaa]

Hey dude, just wanted to tell you I really enjoy your video's and that your 'Day in the Life' video really inspired me! I decided to make one for my own school too and since I'm going to South Korea next month for exchange, I also want to make one for my stay at that University. Because your video helped me a lot on what to expect on an exchange, I wanted to share my experiences with others too in hopes that that will be just as helpful for them as your video was for me! Keep up the good work! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@jensentung]

Good on you man!

[@louisjunho]

awww glad you had a great time. i am sure you will end up here someday!

[@ecrp123]

I'm from Singapore, NUS and i went for a summer exchange at UBC Vancouver last June! Totally have to agree with you on the recycling part. It was such an eye opener for me during my stay at UBC. As an environmentalist, recycling is made so much easier in Vancouver. I hope Singapore/singaporeans can change such behaviour. Glad you enjoyed your exchange in Singapore! Great shoot btw!

[@suginami123]

I’ve been to Singapore and HK many many times and always love it. It’s not just shopping as some odd people think. In both there are super forests and hiking and quiet places.

[@aheroisamongus308]

Could you speak more about being an Asian-Canadian in Singapore? As an American who is 100% ethnically Chinese (both my grandparents came from Hong Kong), I'm wondering how easy it would be for me to fit into Singaporean society, particularly with Chinese-Singaporeans. I currently plan on doing a summer program in Taiwan this summer where we will learn lots of Mandarin, but SG is a place I'd consider living in more than Taiwan due to Singapore's Westernized culture/habits and English being the main language. In addition, SG is a truly beautiful, developed country with many job opportunities Also, may I ask how often is Mandarin actually spoken in SG? I know English is what's most used, but do you know how often Mandarin gets used within the Chinese-Singaporean community, or the SG workforce? Some people say Hokkien is spoken more amongst Chinese-Singaporeans.

[@hermitghost7510]

As a Chinese Singaporean here, English is mostly used especially for official work and documents so you should get by well over in Singapore. But regarding the way we speak, a lot of Singaporeans uses colloquial Singlish which is more of a "short and fast way" to communicate. One thing to note is the tone is normally emphasised on the last few words of the sentence, like "lah, ley, lot, ma" and different tones implies different meaning to the whole sentences. There is a lot of Chinese Singaporeans in Singapore though and especially the older generation tends to speak Mandarin or dialects better than English so it would be a bonus if you can speak in the language they are more comfortable with. Knowing Mandarin, some Malay or some Hindi are especially handy in Singapore since it makes you easier to integrate with Singaporeans. Especially useful when going to hawker centres or markets since there is a higher majority of older Singaporeans there which might not be as proficient in speaking in English than in Mandarin or other dialects.
