Should We Move To Singapore?

[@rexchan8]

As a Singaporean, I think you will be better off back in Japan if cycling vlogs is your main source of income. We have very limited places to cycle around and you will pretty much be doing the same routes over and over. However, if you want to experience life in our city state rather than as a tourist, it will be a very safe and comfortable experience, void of natural disasters but always with wet, sticky weather. Rentals are crazy but public transport and local food will be affordable for your daily heeds.

[@Richardm1981]

I second the Japan move. 100%

[@Glide71]

i agree, also the living cost can be pretty expensive for expats. my non sg friend moved to Japan from sg and managed to cut his living costs by half

[@wesyee2455]

I don't agree, Singapore government are building more cycling route; especially the one that link from Sentosa island all the way to north of Singapore. Cruise you should stay in Singapore try all route and decide to move another new location. And Cruise you shd do a Singapore to Malaysia route and explore further.

[@rexchan8]

@@wesyee2455 don't kid yourself la. In this day and age when KZbinrs need to continuously create fresh content, how many times you want to see the same places? They come here for 1 week only also always end up cycling into the city. You turn left turn right end up always the same place. You not sian ppl also sian and start tuning to other channels. How long do you think one can keep viewers interested in such a small country? It's a nice place to visit but to be based here is a different ball game and they are better off in a bigger country especially for cycling. You don't agree don't have to tell me. I didn't ask to have a conversation with you.

[@Richardm1981]

@@rexchan8 the government can only built so much in a small place like this. Like it or not, it makes sense that at some point the content will be redundant like you said. I mean if this is where they want to live, have at it and good luck but I can totally see the views being less and less as time goes by. Japan has so much area to cover when it comes to KZbin’ing. Just my opinion for whatever that’s worth.

[@asdfkie]

I saw this coming actually. I would be careful about moving to singapore though. If you're in it for 2-3 years I'd say go for it. But it's a bit too small and after a while you run out of things to do. This is why I moved from Singapore to Tokyo recently.

As a Singaporean, you can definitely finish making videos about Singapore in a week. It's a very small country after all. Many Singapore base KZbinr are making almost the same type of video, over and over again. Kinda boring.

[@armanilow7842]

I am a Singaporean and a cyclist. I don't recommend moving to Singapore because (1) the costs of accomodations (house or apartment) is extremely high, (2) within a couple of weeks, as Singapore is extremely small, you will run out of new places/route to cycle. Instead, I would recommend moving to Malaysia, possibly Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur offers the convenience of a city at a much lower cost of accomodations and food than Singapore. In addition, you will not run out of places to cycle and visit within a couple of years. Malaysia offers many of the things you find in Singapore and many other things you no longer can find in Singapore.

[@Stillwind]

In Singapore we are in the midst of a significant increase in housing rental and expats are outbidding each other to secure a place. Be prepared for very high cost for accomodation.

[@TaichoCyclist]

Cost of living aside, Singapore is basically living in a nutshell where basic needs and decent standard of living are fulfilled. Cycling wise, you will be rather variety starved due to the lack of land space to meet the sense of adventure on two wheels. So you could be pretty limited in terms of cycling but the orderly society is a big assurance. Like some others here who already mentioned Taiwan, I do not rule out that as a possible destination. If you do come around Singapore, hit me up for a coffee. Think hard, choose wisely. Good luck mate!

[@peterwinkler8382]

I think you two should move to Singapore. It may be small, but I'm sure you can come up with KZbin material. Your videos there were so much fun to watch that "I" wanted to move there. I live on a small island (Maui), and cycling never gets old. Best of luck finding your next home.

[@IZTheOne]

Singapore is a good option if you're considering it as a long term stay because your reasons you need are here in Singapore. Rent wise could be a problem but there will always be options, it's not straight up expensive from the get go. In Singapore it's expensive if you choose to live expensive.The country is well connected so making it a base is a really amazing plus point.

[@macmakka8214]

Singapore is becoming a strong cycling market, in September Battaglin the exclusive Italian mega brand launched their 2023 range & in October the TDF ran a festival with a city circuit race featuring Vendegard, Froome & cavendish so Singapore is becoming an IT place for cycling

[@lastlightsnet]

I'm a Japanese living in Singapore over 15 years (initially on Employment Pass [EP], then now PR). 😅As long as you can obtain EP, Thuong-chan should be able to stay by applying for Dependant's Pass. Compared to the past, getting EP is harder nowadays, so you might as well act sooner. That said, the high rent can definitely be a problem, though. To buy a (resale) HDB flat, both of you have to be PR, at least. If not, you'll be forever paying high rent month after month, so that's something to think about. Maybe you'll try for a few years first and see how it'll go? Good luck!

Hi TWC your channel is the first that I subscribed to not too long back. So I feel I have to give my 2 cents worth about this topic. I really love your channel because its interesting and narrative. I'm not a you tube fan but recently got hooked to your channel. I welcome you to stay in Spore to see for yourself. What's with this high rental in Spore? If its so high why are so many people coming over to work? I read others asking you to try living in Msia. So why are so many Msians coming over to work? Of course there is pros and cons in each country. So please come and stay in Spore and give it a try even its for awhile. I'm sure you and Thuong felt very welcomed when you were in Spore right. You are a star now. I'm sure you have connections for cheaper housing and jobs and sponsors. Who knows you might proved others wrong and live in Spore for many years or for good. Good education and medical facilities and safe. You should checked out another you tuber I'm following called Wonderlust. They just moved to Spore from the UK. and I loved their vblogs showcasing Spore. It's small and plenty of stuffs to do which I can bet alot of sporrans have not explored before themselves. The guy got a teaching job in a school over here.

[@Eugene-cd9qn]

I think in terms of safety, language and cleanliness, you can't find a better place in SE Asia than Singapore. For cycling routes, it is really very small. cost of living is also a tad high(normal in small city states). You could live in SG and travel to other countries for your content. If I had to pick anywhere else in SE Asia to live other than SG, I would consider Thailand. I would highly advise you to seek the views of other expats living in SG to make your decision, instead of relying on comments in youtube from strangers who lives in other countries and see a need to put down any other countries and promote their own biased view of their own countries.

[@clementihammock7572]

[@kevinkengaitochen]

I personally feel that Singapore is a great place to retire to, or base out of if you are a foreigner as salaries are pretty elevated for expats and such. Not so realistic for the common local though. As for the cycling aspect… there’s only so many times you can cycle round our tiny almond shaped island. And when it rains… it can rain across the whole island for hours and sometimes days on end so there’s that issue as well. My advice would be to live somewhere cheaper, work remotely for good pay if possible, and visit often.

Another thing you should be aware of as a US Citizen is that you can only open regular bank accounts without any frills and benefits as no bank wants to get involved with the complications of US regulations in dealings with Americans -- US regulations not Singapore regulations.

Sure. Singapore is nice. Although, I don't know what you're gonna film. There's really not much here, it's a very small country. It is safe and you can probably start a cycling group here lol. It is really expensive here though, the housing at least. But if you want to film videos overseas, flying to different places, Singapore is a convenient place to stay. If you really want to avoid weird looks then we're definitely good at that, we kinda have neighbors of so many races that we just assume nobody is a foreigner unless they're acting like a tourist.

Maybe it would be best to just move back to America.

as a singaporean: you're better off elsewhere sustenance is relatively cheap thanks to the food culture, but the cost of actually living here is RIDICULOUS; rent is frankly criminal unless you choose to stay in the "boonies" and even then public commute can be tiring. as a cyclist, the number of 'proper bike ride'-adequate roads and paths are frustratingly low, which is why you see most local cycling vlogs cover the same loops ad nauseam; the transport infrastructure isn't particularly bike-friendly as a whole ― the park connectors look good on paper, but there's no practical final mile solution which leads to the next point; driving culture here can get fairly hostile half the time, even if they aren't hostile, drivers here can get pretty callous about the safety of vulnerable road users if they think they can get away with it; even when you filter into the sidewalks, there's a significant number of sidewalks that get fairly gnarly for pedestrians, let alone a bicycle i love riding my bike, it's why i chose to be a bike commuter but as a whole, despite the growing cycling culture Singapore is just not designed to be a cycling-friendly place to live in

Grab in Singapore has an option called "Grab for Cyclists" where you get a vehicle that your bicycle will actually fit in without having to take a wheel off. 🙂
