[@theflyingfinneys]

Watching this makes us want to go back to Singapore. Great seeing your parents experience these adventures with you.

[@LisaAndJosh]

we felt the same when watching your videos! it's been fun to be back again

[@madeinaotearoanz]

Absolutely loved the food in Singapore, but the humidity was a killer! 🥵

[@druiz012]

You guys are an inspiration. Love the content and can't wait to keep up with the rest of your trip!

[@haydenmatchett855]

[@LisaAndJosh]

Great to hear! Enjoy your trip :) Singapore is such a cool place!

The fried dumpling I got a glimpse that you took the ginger condiment but you didn't add in the black vinegar.

[@dantlanz9239]

The food just look great! Hawker centres all the way!

[@LisaAndJosh]

Hawker centers are our favorite way to dine, just feels right! :)

[@GuyWithTheCapitalJ]

Welcome to Singapore! We hope you enjoy your stay here!

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you for the warm welcome, Joseph :)

[@rebeccabuckley3879]

I love that you guys HAD TO take chicken salt with you. It's the best right!

[@goodevening4616]

You commented about Gas prices in Australia, one way to save 8 cents a liter is to join Woolworths everyday rewards program and after you spend $30 in the supermarket you get 4 cents off a liter and another 4 cents when you spend another $5 at the petrol stand [ eg buying milk] You can also earn Qantas frequent flyer points.There is another way to get into airport lounges and that by having a charge card like Diners which gives you world wide access ,A friend of mine does this . You mentioned points redemptions for flights , personally its much better value to get redemptions in premium cabins

[@LisaAndJosh]

great tips, thank you!!

Not suprised with that $200 estimated Uber fare. Uber have been copping a lot of heat here in Melbourne with bumping up their fares, taxis are now usually the cheaper option. I now check both the Uber & taxi company apps before booking.... Though the Skybus is still the cheapest city-airport option, especially if you have 3 or less travelling together.

[@KyrosKohKS]

Welcome back to Singapore!

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you!! :)

[@sayme3236]

Zion Road hwker center have a store selling really really good Wanton noodle dry .... yum

[@LisaAndJosh]

Love Zion road hawker centre!!

[@lpericteo]

Don't waste your money in restaurants and get substandard foods. The super cheap and good foods are at the Hawker centres.

[@LisaAndJosh]

yes, 100% agreed!! our favorite places to eat!

[@Mar-ec7et]

Come to singapore, go to Jewel and sit down... relax and watch the waterfall.

[@Nerosink2000]

and start paying over priced food and drinks

[@LisaAndJosh]

yes, could stay for hours!!!

[@ThirdCultureNel]

That is a lot of responsibility you had aha!! Glad it worked out in the end. I hope you all have a great time! Looking forward to your next video 😁

[@brandenongkp]

Singapore easy to move around and clean city

[@LisaAndJosh]

we agree!

[@thegorn9904]

Yep, wear your heaviest clothes and stick the heaviest things in your pockets. Also there are the things you are currently using that you are "holding in your hands" therefore aren't part of the weigh in (mobile phone, ipad, charger, purse), then all back in the bag after the weigh in. Your Mum has the right idea. Hope lovely Singapore is everything you want it to be, and more.

[@kayflip2233]

I always travel lightly by buying all of my clothes including shirts, undershirts, underwear, shorts, pants etc in the location I am staying in, then just wash them there for as long as I am staying, then I either donate it or toss it out at the end of my stay. I consider it a convenience tax for travelling super lightly and comfortably. I typically only end up spending $50-100 so it’s worth it for me.

[@isamaaltaein8672]

Hello Lisa and Josh you are inspired us , We enjoying watching your video . I hope you have fan in Singapore. Chaos

[@LisaAndJosh]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jomontanee]

I adore the KEYBOARD CAT 🐱 too!!🤣

[@LisaAndJosh]

always gotta have the keyboard cat for every major decision!! :) so good!

[@stephenholloway3041]

Thanks for watching out for My Brother and Sister in law

[@termitesarenotgoodforhomes]

Yes the paperwork is a nightmare. The SG Arrival Card is a bugger. Even though the government web site says "Step 3: Fill SG Arrival Card up to 3 days before arrival" when it should be stating " Step 3: Fill SG Arrival Card up WITHIN 3 days before arrival". Not sure if I have stuffed something up but it appears you can't save your profile then fill out the rest within 3 days of departure. Anyhoot...great video guys and gals. Hope you all have a great time in Singapore. The best news was when they gave the option of PCR or ART. PCR is like a medieval torture so I booked the instant ART became an option.

[@LisaAndJosh]

Yess we love the rapid test option at the end!!!

[@LinksRoyal]

nah you wont just stuff them full of Singapore food and sugarcane ! :D Dress lightly and carry umbrella for shade and rain. Been raining abit lately. Welcome to SG

[@LisaAndJosh]

thank you!! love all the food and sugar cane juice!!!

[@jenniferlim2250]

Welcome to our Little Red Dot, Papa & Mama of Josh! Drink lots of coconut juice 🥤, eat lots of durians & say hello to our Mr Lion-fish 🦁 🐟!

[@LisaAndJosh]

:) yes to all of these things!!!

[@katfran492]

Priority pass has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I don’t have it with chase sapphire reserve but I do have it & got one for my mother. She has traveled more than me with it. She think she has free lounge access, she doesn’t know that I’m the one getting the bill 🤣

[@LisaAndJosh]

This is so kind and sweet! May she never find out ;) haha

[@phunk8607]

Chicken salt made it!!! 😍

[@LisaAndJosh]

you know it!!

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Omg, we stayed in that hotel for half the time we were in Singapore! 😂😂😂 So glad Singapore dropped the outdoor mask requirement. If only a certain other country would do the same... 😉

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

Ps, props to Josh's mom for her budget airline clothing-wearing skills!! 😘

[@LisaAndJosh]

whaaat!? were we in the same place at the same time?! ahaha yeah, you know how we do :)

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

@@LisaAndJosh we were equally surprised to see OUR hotel in YOUR video! 😂😂😂 We might have overlapped by a day. Another close encounter! 😉😘

[@matthewtobin5429]

Hey Josh - love watching your videos. Say hi to your parents from me!

[@monthidamccoole]

Hi hi … welcome to my hood !! Watched all your videos. Big fan here. Would love to take you all out for lunch to thank you for all the videos you shared with us. Please let me know if you’re up for it. 😄

How did you get your test results printed at the airport?

[@LisaAndJosh]

The company we got our testing at (at the airport) printed them for us

[@geraldinehadiwidjaja7421]

Of course you weren't going to ruin your parents first trip to Asia, Josh. You're so efficient!💪 P.S. Don't leave the chicken salt behind!😂

[@LisaAndJosh]

:) it definitely came with us!!

[@LooneyMooneyfuntimes]

We are hanging for an OS trip ✈️✈️ Hoping the paperwork will lessen with time

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@sdqsdq6274]

whats chicken salt for ?

[@LisaAndJosh]

it's good on everything, as it turns out! we had it on fries/chips in Australia, but we've used it almost everything since!

[@jimwagner4014]

How did you print your PCR test onto paper at the airport

[@LisaAndJosh]

the testing site at the airport kindly printed them out for us

[@compounding999]

whats with the chicken salt? LOL!!

[@LisaAndJosh]

oh my goodness, it's the seasoning we never knew we needed! it's like Australia's umami flavoring :) (with chicken)

[@mikefellbach6841]

We were lucky to have visted Singapore before the start of the pandemic. Unfortunately I believe Singapore has not yet joined the group of 59 or so countries which allow access to jab-free travelers again.

[@anthonyleongchuanheng1821]

Hey Man, U guy still in Singapore ?

[@LisaAndJosh]

Hi, we aren't :( but can't wait to come back!

[@anthonyleongchuanheng1821]

@@LisaAndJosh do pm me once u guys come back to singapore

[@simroysten7963]

Once you are there you might not want to leave. That's the feedback. Also pre-check your weight because it's a food paradise and the locals speaks a funny kind of English.

Good to see you have flown to Singapore, maybe side trip to Philippines (its more fun in the Philippines)
