I'm Singaporean Chinese and I'm so impressed that you actually pronounced Thian Hock Keng correctly! It can be loosely translated into Heavenly Blessing Palace in English.

[@edinaldopereira2285]

In 2007, I´ve been to Singapore on work. It´s a very glamorous city! It deserves a visit!

[@sherrytok2501]

I'm singaporean, is not most expensive city in the world, as normal wages, still can travel oversea, lucky to stay in singapore very blessing...🙏❤

[@bobgriffith1810]

I lived and worked there as an expat for 5 years around 2000,, great city, great access to other locations, great food, friendly people,, secure, I learned to not miss the USA at times,, the many golf trips into Thailand, Bintan and other places was easy and enjoyable.. there’s a lot to like

[@hearhere2165]

That's because the most expensive things are subsidised for the locals (housing,health, food and public transport). International dollar PPP per capita is 131,426 for Singapore, 84,469 for Switzerland , 75,180 for the US, 55,862 for the UK and 42,067 for Portugal . Tourists can enjoy the fairly priced hawker foods and transport options.

Ahh, Sunday in Singapore - maid's day off. Did you see groups of them everywhere around around town? Doing little dances, having picnics, showing each other photos from back home, and taking group selfies for futures memories. Such a fun part of Singapore life.

[@JumpingPlaces]

We saw many picnic groups in the park but didn't realize it was them :)

Singapore extremely modern mixed with beautiful greenery! Awesomeness. 😊

The 2nd temple you went to (Thian Hock Keng) was used by sailors who landed in Singapore to thank the gods for proving them a safe journey. The temple was by the beach. So the land opposite the temple main door are all reclaimed land.

So glad to see your parents in the vlog Chris! Singapore is on my bucket list of places to travel to for sure! Loving the mix of old and new architecture! Looking forward to the next video.❤

Next one coming soon, thanks for watching :D

[@geraldyee8416]

The thing to really remark upon apart from the temples itself is that next to Thian Hock Keng is a Durga temple to the right and a Islam mosque to the left, all within 100m of each other. A church is on the next street on Amoy Street. Same for the Buddha Tooth Relic temple where Sri Mariamman temple is about 400m away. Religious tolerance is practiced in an observable form.

[@giannishen]

So glad to see your parents, thank you for shooting beautiful video in Singapore! If you like Singapore, you can also visit Taiwan in the future! Its area is 50.3 times that of Singapore. The east, west, north, and south each have their own characteristics. It is a country that integrates Eastern and Western cultures! Taiwan can be said to be the condensation of the whole of Asia, and it has also been rated as the World Food Museum by the Wall Street Journal! In addition to being famous for its culture and food, it is also the hometown of the international director Ang Lee and the country where Bubble tea was invented. 👍🤩🙏🙌

Hopefully we can go there soon :D Sounds great!

@20:47 - Singapore is literally on the equator. It gets really hot when sunny ( + the humidity ). You will notice the covered walk ways all over Singapore ( for the rain too of course).

The modern biz building with the plants in the middle is actually a small sky park which u can visit for free. There r 2 separate levels and have some pretty cool views from the top.

[@cristianlamb5156]

Great images! My first time in Singapore was in 2008 during a 12 hours transit from a flight from Surabaya, Indonesia to Amsterdam. Changi Airport provided a free bus tour around town and I was able to take it twice and get to know the modern Singapore. Back then Marina Bay was still under construction. Oh my, I am getting old! Managed to go back in 2012 and stay at SEACARE hotel near Clark Quay for a short holiday and three in 2018, when I stayed in FURAMA also near Clark Quay and later near Bugis Street. In 2019 I visited KL for a week and immediately I recognized it as being an affordable Singapore. Currently I live in HCMC and hope can go back soon!

[@ricardotongol567]

Hello Chris and Carol now in Singapore. The great traveler with our parent. Thank you for sharing your wonderful beautiful journey through Singapore.

[@jdtisme9100]

I thought Singapore was nice in the cleanliness and greenery aspect for such a densely populated city/country but I found it overrated and VERY overpriced. I absolutely didn't hate it, I just didn't love it. I did however LOVE LOVE LOVE the food!!! Absolutely amazing!!! I think there are many things we as Americans could take lessons on from Singapore though, like discipline, cleanliness, all the greenery, ect... I'd go back there again, but mostly for the food. I also wouldn't spend more than a day or two there, max... Enjoy you time and safe travels!

[@user-um8wi5ym4y]

Accommodation is expensive but almost every other thing can be done on a budget. If you love the food, I suggest going out of the city center, there are many hawker centers located near MRT stations which is where the locals dine at. A day or 2 is definitely barely scratching on the surface.

[@jdtisme9100]

@Pat my wife worked and lived there for 6 or 7 years and is a tight ass so she knew some great cheap places to eat...haha Also some of the best places to show me. I was there twice for 7-9 days and just didn't love it there. I grew up in a very rural area and just not into the big city life. Don't get me wrong, for a city it was pretty amazing. All of the little wet market foods and hawker stalls were amazing, especially for the cost. The botanical gardens were beautiful. Chinatown is pretty cool (probably my favorite area). The supertree garden, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore flier and some other places I don't remember are pretty cool too. I didn't hate it by any means, I just didn't love it. SOOOOOOOOO many better places in S.E. Asia for me and I haven't seen that many. 2 or 3 days at a time in Singapore is more than enough for me. Fortunately it's a pretty big and amazing world we live in so we can all find what appeals to each of us. Take care and safe travels in wherever life takes you...🛩🌎👍

[@ninijo1234]

You could go up capital spring for a free roof top view of the city. I think the building facade was in your video at around 8:13

Welcome to Singapore my friends! Usually I tell my overseas friends not to come to Singapore because its too expensive and there's nothing much here, but since you are here I'll give you a tip...stay away from the central area, do come to the east side where the locals are and where you'll find good & cheap foods 😉

East Side? That's the worst side and expensive. Ppl in the east r yaya papaya and look down on others.

[@eduardoking8402]

Love Singapore! Will be there in Apr. My last trip was in 2018. Contrary to an earlier comment I read, there 's actually so much to do and different things to see in Singapore, despite its size. One does not need to travel miles to get from one attraction to another...so convenient, unlike Ontario, where I'm from and live. It may be more expensive than other Asian cities, but it's certainly not more expansive than Canada or any other developed countries. In fact, hotel/motel rares are cheaper than in Canada, and hawker food is so cheap....you can't get cooked food at those prices in Canada, not even in our food courts. Also, Singapore is truly international... a true mix of East and West, with English widely spoken, being one of their official languages and taught as a first language. As such, I find it easy for me to move around and stay in Singapore...signs aplenty in English, which I don't find in other Asian cities. The language barrier has always been a deterrence for me to travel widely in Asia, but not so in Singapore.
