I’ve lived here for 20 years and everyday is like my first day. I am never bored with this place, there’s always things to see and to explore and in a calm, clean and safe way. No guns, no drugs, no pollution - other places can keep their Freedom, I’m very happy with my Singapore.

Met plenty of patient's from America and Europe nations while i was working as nurse in a private hospital here in SG. And they too shared your feelings and sentiments. They mentioned that nothing beats the safety of their young kids going out at night knowing it is pretty safe. I mean it is not 100% safe. But better than where they came from.

[@rozyue1177]

Freedom ? But not the freedom to walk safely down the street or to have your children n safe in school …..!!!

Have been living in Singapore from last 5 years, apart from rentals going very high, I love every bit of this country. what I love the most is the quality of public toilets and availability of diverse foods . I’m a Muslim , so it’s pretty easy to find halal foods here everywhere! 🙌

All overseas asians should visit Singapore at least once in their life. My friend said it was weird feeling like part of a majority.

[@safrisaleh412]

The majority of Singaporeans are friendly and some are reserved. If you know the MRT route well, it is easier to navigate through Singapore 🇸🇬 as it covers the entire city of Singapore 🇸🇬 and more MRT lines are coming up. Looking forward to more videos from you David.

[@davidkhai]

Appreciate it is Safri!

[@GoodGood-vb8gm]

There's a Chinese idiom 路在口边, literally means 'the road is at your mouth'. If you need directions, you just need to ask. Practically all Singaporeans, including elderly uncles and aunties, can converse in English.Those Chinese-looking ones who cannot are foreigners.

[@gangstagummybear3432]

Singapore is super fun once you learn how easy it is to get around on their MRT, they have an MRT you can actually brag on, since it covers the whole country, instead of a single city. Lots of Filipinos in Singapore too, I was fortunate to work in MSC, which is tied to the US Navy, which enabled me to be able to chill out in Singapore for very long durations of time for free, I love it.

[@davidkhai]

Their MRT really amazed me, so efficient and effective at getting around. Had know idea about the Filipino community, thanks for the info!

[@gangstagummybear3432]

@@davidkhai Definitely it is, you can go anywhere on those trains, and never worry about any danger, but be very mindful, and careful in the metro stations, it can be very strict, and you can see stuff down there like you wouldnt believe, lets just say that the shotguns you see security walking around in PH are nothing compared to what you may see around Singapore.

I learned something new as a Singaporean. We locals use stored value cards for riding on buses and trains. They give you a discount on individual fares. But I never knew you could use credit cards for the same purpose. Guess you’d have to pay the full fares with no discounts.

Just in case watching the Garden by the Bay's light show is in your itinerary, just a little info about Marina Bay area : it's built on reclaimed land. The man-made Super trees collect rainwater and also fitted with solar panels. These 2 features provide water and generate electricity to cool the conservatories, and provide power for the daily light show. So, this is eco-tourist destination showcasing sustainable practices

That would be a must for me. Beautiful. I would rate it in the top ten I have seen, Hong-Kong up there for me also.That hotel looks nuts also. Hope you will able to check it out. I am sure your bank account will take a big hit if you want to stay there for a night.I have been looking for that exact same dish you had for your first meal but as now not much luck.I will try China-town.I go there a-lot.How do you spell what looks like a staple you were eating with your meal.Was it called called sam-bool or some-thing like that. Looks really good. I eat a-lot of Asian food.I hope the Philippines will continue to follow you with your travels. I am sure they want you to come back.They took a real liking to you.
