Our laws are strict so women feels safe walking around in shorts at night..no drugs n few homelessness on the streets. We are a clean n fine city keke

[@mohdrajab2324]

Are u sure no drugs 😂😂😂 I Singaporean...they just caught 2.35 kg

[@jimw8615]

Plenty. As long rich people are around.

[@Thekidisalright]

@@mohdrajab2324they caught it therefor no more drugs

[@ah5721]

​@Thekidisalight basically someone wasnt that stealthy..

[@edmundizhigh2055]

There are many drugs around. Look at the news.

[@GoatFarts]

My first trip to Singapore, the taxi driver from the airport said "There are 3 things to remember about Singapore. It is VERY, VERY, VERY safe" :) been back about 8 or 9 times since and he was not wrong at all! MRT is fantastic, the F1 is brilliant and the people are super friendly. I love Singapore

[@Keith-vq3ob]

We appreciate your thorough condensed coverage of all Singapore has to offer. Your coverage was detailed enough to give first time Singapore travelers a full understanding of what to expect, encounter, how to navigate the different neighborhoods and options to have an enjoyable experience. You covered an enormous amount of information quite well, and with well spoken clarity. Top notch video! Thank you. With your professionalism and easy going demeanor you should have millions of subscribers.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks so much Keith!

Hey Chris, I lived in SG for more than 13 years and just want to say you have done this city island Justice - you hit all the right notes on what to advise people on. Singapore should be the 8th wonder of the world - Dubai and other city states while nice don't compare. Singapore holds the line between old and new world is the most unique and authentic way I've ever witnessed, it's an absolute gem and recommend everyone going to visit to watch this episode! Great job!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@kim2hawaii1]

Dubai is a mirage

[@Steffsh]

I am currently halfway through my trip in Singapore, so this video really came just in time

[@dazzahoward7104]

Best city in the world. Going back in August. Thanks for sharing your experience. Also a very clever country/city. Many other countries could learn from what they do there.

[@gamegnome]

I used your travel guide back in 2017 and now I am planning on travelling again in 2023, thanks for this video!

[@foodmore]

Just a small correction regarding riding bicycles: Its not really out culture to cycle to work or as a major form of transportation, because well, it can get so damn hot here sometimes. However, there are tons of leisure cyclist and serious pro bikers in Singapore. We have a very extensive and somewhat "hidden" network of bikelanes called Park Connector Network. It literally links the whole country together through various small and large bike lanes that go through interesting places like the park or east coast beach. You wont see these lanes in the major tourist areas in singapore, these lanes are usually situated on the outer rim of the island with small lanes running across to connect them all together.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for the cycling background!

[@elliotoliver8679]

Also - Riding on sidewalk is legal in Singapore. If you ride on the road you need a helmet, not on the sidewalk. I have ridded extensively around Singapore on sidewalks, I never ride on the road and there are hundreds of cyclists on the sidewalk - just saying not criticism - Great vid! I hope to see oy checking out Serangoon, Sambewang, Yishun etc away from the city

[@Loupadron2010]

Wow, what an outstanding little country so pretty, clean, developed the right way and it is just a marvelous place now I really want to go there. Thank you for taking us there with you.

[@shilpasharma6722]

Great video Chris - so much to look forward to!

[@gowheregotherenow]

I'm a Singaporean and I really enjoyed your video and found it informative. It's interesting to hear a different perspective of how others find and understand your own country.

[@YellowProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rzhang3039]

Incredible video about Singapore! A lot of valuable information here. Thank you!

[@BillGreenAZ]

Chris, I have to say that your production values are really improved in this video. The elevated views, the slow motion over the venues, the transitioning between segments. Maybe soon you will be producing videos for the Travel Channel! I'm a foodie so I really enjoy your food features of your videos. Singapore shines in its food offerings as you say. I just wanted to add that with so many Muslim Malays living on the island, there are many delicious Halal restaurants. I remember having BBQ baby octopus at a Halal restaurant. It was very tasty! Another favorite type of destination of mine is all the Christian churches. Many of them were built over 100 years ago. One such favorite is Chijmes, which used to be a Catholic convent. Now it's a food center with many delicious restaurants. The wedding scene from "Crazy Rich Asians" was filmed in the chapel there. For those wanting cheap shopping, you can take a 60 minute ferry ride from Harbourfront to Batam Island, Indonesia. Many Singaporeans shop there. Lastly, since it's a former British colony, don't forget to look both ways when you cross the street since they drive on the left side of the road there.

[@sandym4875]

Incredible video! We've never considered going to Singapore, but we want to go after watching this video. It looks so clean and safe. Thanks for another fabulous video!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Sandy! You should definitely add Singapore to your "to visit" list!

Hope you actually have time to enjoy your trips with the amount of filming you're doing there too! It's appreciated!

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks alphakub! Singapore was a pretty intense filming trip. On this adventure my purpose was making videos ;)

[@KoreaWalkingToursTV]

Very informative. Thanks.

[@galochusan]

I had a one night stand in 'Singapore' by ways of 'Melacca, Malaysia' via bus back in 2019. Best solo adventure I never dreamed of experiencing. Walked from 'Hotel Boss' to 'Marina Bay Sands'. Extravagant city, citizens, tourists and that shawarma I ate at two o'clock in the morning. The next day my 'pork pie hat' was swiped while I was dining at 'Buddy's Thai Food' on 'Bugis Street'... It did not bother me; it's all part of the journey. The 'Death For Drug Traffickers Under Singapore Law' card they handed out during border crossing was a nice subtle warning.

[@liveloud9894]

Sounds like a wonderful place to visit 😊 Great video 👍
