Singapore Travel Guide - City of the Future

[@lostleblanc]

Never imagined that these videos would be the start of a multi million dollar business. ANYBODY can do it and I want to show you how in my Free 1 Hour Training: lostcreatoracademy.com/freetraining

[@perry-4444]

lol

[@alastihilluja]

Actually Singapore is a very budget friendly destination. I spent 2 weeks in Singapore and spent about 50 euros (60 USD) on average per day (accommodation included). Of course if you stay in a nice hotel and eat at restaurants every night (which you shouldn't, because hawker centers offer hands down the best food in Singapore) you can easily spend a lot of money in Singapore. Or anywhere else for that matter. For people who do some research up front and don't mind staying in a hostel (there are some very nice, inexpensive dorms in Singapore, warmly recommend capsule hostels for those who like their own privacy), Singapore is a fantastic place to visit even on a budget!

[@jr400rl]

what (cheap) capsule hotel do you recommend which is near the raffles place mrt station?

[@josephweeks3815]

Well Lostleblanc probably has deals with fancy hotels and restaurants to mention them in his video in exchange for free places to stay and pay of some sort im sure. Which is why he probably focuses on the more expensive side of being there.

[@calebjones4829]

I understand what you are saying but if we look at it relative to what you get for your money in other countries, Singapore accommodation is more expensive than Canada easily (and way way way more expensive than other south east Asia designations). Yes, you can find "deals" but for those who want to have their own washroom you'll find you might be thinking...might as well stay in a better place (forced up market paying CDN$120 a night). Also, everyone knows about the MRT so if you think you can save money by staying farther away from the center you'll again find yourself thinking...might as well be in a better area for the price.

[@kulshinidealwis9521]

Hey what about shopping wise. Where can I go for bargains. Where can I buy things at prices cheaper than they are in America?

one of the cities that impressed me the most during my travels ;)

[@RonLarhz]

Touristsy area of cos... And the race is malay. Malaysian is the nationality or our neighbour. Carrot cake is actually raddish. It's literally white carrot in chinese,hence the word carrot is used tho it might not have any carrots at all. And it's abit amusing to find westerners not being able to pronounce clarke quay(key). Try some malay/peranakan food like mee siam,merubus. And u missed bak kut teh(pork rib soup),chicken rice, laksa, cereal prawns, bbq stingray,stir frt frog legs in spring onion/claypot, assorted nonya kuehs, durain,prawn noodle soup, prata, kambing soup,congee, milo, barley drink, ice kachang/hot paste desserts etcetc

Taxi advice: They're super cheap so it's worth using them for even short journeys (it's hot in SG, so being in air con is a nice way to commute!). To get them quick, don't hail on the street, use Grab, which is like a local version of Uber.

[@Agaamatteroftaste]

yes, Grab works great in Singapore & Malaysia 👍

[@JuliusSanderspodcast]

Super cheap? I have to pay 12$ for a 20 minute walk with grab. I just walked it but like I don't see that as cheap

[@AnastasiaDiscovery]

[@randychung0402]

They use grab not uber

[@fanahevans8727]

Clarke Quay is our clubbing central, its not open in the day time haha! Singapore is more than the touristy places you went to. You need to visit Geylang, Kampong Bahru to experience Malay food and culture. You need to try the chicken rice as well for sure! Haji Lane is the hipster place of Singapore, specialty coffee shops, cafes, bars and tattoo shops are there. You should go to Sentosa (the beach) and Henderson Wave for the nature.

[@SotaMaehara]

First sentence is exactly what I was thinking too, and he said Clark "Kway" :P anyway, still was a decent video showing the main attractions but couldn't agree with you more on what he's missed out :)

[@Surewin_YoRaD]

Fanah Evans Sentosa?the beach with an oil slick?with fake white sand imported from Vietnam and Indonesia?

[@SotaMaehara]

36stroke look at the title of the video "Travel Guide". Who stated a travel guide is meant to have all the good elements within a country? Also she said that Christian LeBlanc should go to Sentosa "for the nature" which is a perfectly fair comment as a huge portion of Singapore is urban and developed. Nothing wrong with what she said in my opinion.

[@kaazkazz3135]

Hi Fanah, I am planning for a sort day trip in Singapore on 15th April 18 on my way back to UK from Bangladesh. will be at Changi airport 7:00am and next flight will be same day at 11:00pm, I got my wife and 6 years old junior with me. could you please advice me a nice short plan. we want to visit Jurong bird park, marina bay (any other places on your mind) lunch with street food (sea food/ chines/Malay), transportation should be public with no shopping intention. many thanx in advance

[@pinkoustica]

Thanks, Fanah for the very helpful comment. I'm planning a trip to SG next year and I'll put these places on my to-do list.

[@elenagolo]

I love Singapore! One of my favourite​ Cities after Hong Kong! Always worth a visit. Next time you there check out the Night Safari and Sentosa Island.

[@sherlynlee5381]

Dont think the majority of westerners care. You guys used to be the same country anyways.

[@keretaman]

Thanks for correcting Sherlyn. Yknow I was in Vietnam and our tour guide was checking our passports. For context, I was with my friend, who is Chinese, and I'm Malay, both from Singapore. When our guide checked our passports, my friend got it fine, then he checked mine and he said "I know this. Malaysian. No? Yesss. Malaysian." I let it go. Perhaps I could speak Vietnamese, then I would have been able to explain the difference :,) I'm glad he at least knew Malaysians and was happy about his guess hahaha

Singapore is very beautiful. i hope I'll be visiting it very soon. Greetings from Chicago

[@FeeLefay]

Hello, I’m glad that you enjoyed your time here. Singapore consists of 4 main races: Chinese, MALAYS, Indians & Eurasians. FYI, Malaysia is a country whereas MALAY is a race, a language & a culture. Since I am a Malay (race) & was born & bred in Singapore (city/state/country/island nation), that makes me a Malay Singaporean, not a Malaysian (citizen) The word Malay (race/language/culture) and Malaysian (citizens of Malaysia) has two very different meanings. Thought you should know. Have a good day. 🤓

[@lille2579]

I LOVE SINGAPORE I ALWAYS CRY WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT.

[@georgewilliamson8527]

Love Singapore, one of my favourite countries!

[@Verb130]

You should have taken the subway MRT. In the city your never more then a 5 min walk from a station. It's very inexpensive, very very clean, very brightly lit, and it's all in English. There is even an official Singapore MRT app that will walk you through all your connections, from one point on the city map to another point. When traffic gets backed up, the MRT is faster then a taxi. You really missed out on a very clean efficient way to go.

[@jenelle3350]

hes literally so fucking dumb and a google search wouldve told him that

[@mensrea1251]

Nice video. On transportation: you don’t hail a cab just anywhere in Singapore. That would cause issues with traffic. Suspect this was the reason for your taxi troubles. So instead, you catch a cab at designated taxi stands. They’re everywhere. And I never had issues with Uber. Moot now since it’s been folded into the local version - Grab. Give it a try. It works.

[@jordanporter2580]

Singapore looks very fun!! I wish I could go there!!!

[@AugschburgerJung]

[@iamdalilatalil]

Hi there, cool video. Just some things to point out. It’s not “Malaysian” community, just “Malay”. We are Malay singaporeans, born in singapore not from Malaysia. Alot of people get this wrong. So just to clear up :) Also, you should’ve gone to Geylang Serai where the Malay community is. We are rich in culture and we have delicious food too :) So do that next time you’re in Singapore again! ☺️😇

You need to board a taxi from a taxi stand in Singapore. Also we don't have uber since few years back. It was acquired by Grab which is about the same.

[@Maricarrrr]

Such a great travel guide, Christian!! Thank you for putting this together because Singapore is high on my bucket list!!

[@jasontempest4233]

Great info here. Some things I'd like to point out. - Clarke Quay is more of an evening place and really gets going after business hours. It has some pretty good bars and nightclubs but also gets very crowded after dark. - The 73 story Swiss Hotel was formally Westin Stamford Raffles was the TALLEST HOTEL in the WORLD when construction was finished back in 1986. - Forget Uber and Taxis - Singapore has one of the best public transport systems on Earth and links just about every major destination on the island. - In my opinion Singapore is the best food city in the world.

[@marcgreaves263]

Yes! I wanted to see some more videos on Singapore looks very exciting 👍🏾😊

[@saq546]

[@mrose993]

Thank you for the video Christian! I'll be going to SG in July with a few friends and this is helpful, and I will probably be watching this a few more times lol

[@llamaswithhats1]

Like other people have said, you can visit on a budget. I went with a group of friends and it wasn’t that expensive. Orchard Road was expensive shopping, but if you want super cheap market style go to Bugis Street! Also, take the MRT. It’s super cheap, fast and clean. It will literally take you anywhere you want to go! Christian hits a lot of the touristy spots, but they really are a must. 10/10 would recommend. But it’s also super humid!!

[@tonmaydas8516]

I saw 12 videos before you guys & was not getting anu directions....well done man....great explanation

[@christinem312]

Great suggestion on where to go, will be going there in a few months..

[@wisetraveller1]

Great video of one of my favorite spots in the world. Regarding the difficulty catching a taxi - the drivers are only supposed to stop at officially designated taxi ranks. They don't really do random stops. Some will, if it is late at night and quiet, but the best thing is find a taxi rank, there are many, especially connected to shopping centers and large public buildings, and join the queue. You'll be in a taxi in five minutes.

[@Drippinonyou]

just take a grab. Grab took over Uber in singapore. it is fast and more cost efficient than taking a taxi

[@becksksr]

Was in Singapore back in 2013. What a fantastic place it is. You definitely must check out Clarke Quay at night if you didn't, and also Sentosa the next time you happen to be in SG.

[@oviniinfantasy3033]

Yes. it is one of best locations we also made. So much to cover.

[@gregoryfortner6038]

Awesome video and now this will be on my list of places to visit.

[@BigTimeBoozer]

Singapore is good for exploring on foot because the area around Marina Bay is the real hotspot to see. It's all manageable and walkable. That area is bounded by the Sheares Bridge (east), Esplanade Drive at Merlion (west), Raffles Avenue (north) and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel district (south). You can rent a scooter for $80 SGD a day if you know how to ride a bike and have a licence. Obey the road rules, however. Further out, you can go to Sentosa Island and the botanic gardens. Fifty percent of the Singapore highrise skyline is hotels. There's _lots_ of them.

[@francesyuan6019]

I've stayed in Marina Bay Sands for one night. I think the room was so-so, but the pool was one of must go, they got pretty view there. To be honest I think Singapore is more for like just looking around the city & the food is great in there. People are nice & well-educated. If you are thinking about visit there, I literarily think it's a good choice.

[@diesummerlove]

Some must-try food dishes you should try here in SG which u can easily find at local coffeeshops: - Mee Rebus, Satay (Chicken/Beef), Lontong (Malay cuisine) - Chicken Rice, Lor Mee, Hokkien Mee (Chinese cuisine) - Nasi Briyani, Murtabak, Prata, Thosai (Indian cuisine) You should also check out Sentosa next time you're here (tho its an artificial beach but), check out the museums too (ArtScience Museum, National Gallery Museum)! Also you can easily travel ard via the MRT instead of Uber-ing everywhere haha Another tip is to check out Timeout's event guide list the week you're travelling! Hope this helps for anyone who's planning to travel here x

[@rapmann]

What's that mean? Is Malay an ethnic distinction?

[@victoriedits]

@Odsay malays are not necessarily dark skinned, but more so typically olive toned and tanned. though lately, most malays in singapore are very varied in skin tones. many can pass as other races. malays are simply a race of people. they are the original people of singapore and likely malaysia as well.

[@treepeenbawlz1934]

Odsay those Chinese in Malaysia are migrants.. they’re not natives. Malays are native to the Malay Archipelago, be it indonesia, brunei, singapore, malaysia and it was even bigger. And what’s with the casual racism and just identifying us by our skin colour? Not at all Malays are dark skinned, some are even fairer than other Asians. Didn’t call all chinese people yellow and pale. You must be typically ignorant

key to saving money in Singapore would be Hawker Centres for food, and taking the bus/train using the Tourist Pass. It's like 20SGD/3days unlimited rides with trains/buses which are so easy to use and understand.
