The things that make Singapore unique 🇸🇬

[@hfavoured]

I'm impressed... You are the only vlogger I've seen who has the most accurate description of the chewing gum ban in Singapore... 👍

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Nice! I was hoping to clear the air about it. Glad I got it right!

[@AvengeBasketball]

I usually just browse through travel videos but your sense of humour and interesting point of views made me watch the entire 27 mins

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Nice! Happy to hear that! I hope you like other ones I made too!

[@foodmore]

Im a Singaporean and almost 40 years old. I was at the crossroads when gum was widely available and then it got banned. I never missed it because i hated touching the gum left by people on elevator buttons or on seats. Sometimes some tourists make a big deal about this ban on gum but honestly, good riddance. It is definitely something we dont need here. Thank you for making it clear that it isnt illegal to chew gum but rather just to sell gum. Some tourist think we are so uptight when we don't allow chewing of gum LOL

[@Slla-th5vt]

At the end of the day, candy and chocolates taste better than gum anyway.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Interesting to hear! Yeah I also thought it was illegal until I spoke with some locals and did some digging. I thought I’d try to set the record straight. Thanks for watching!

[@okaydoubleu]

​@@TravelLordOnLoc It feels good to be understood. Thank you for making that effort ;)

You got my respect.. walking under the sun ...

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Thank you! I actually got pretty burnt that day but it was worth it!

The unique thing is the abundant of wildlife in the city Centre. Otters around Marina Bay, chickens and big lizards around Garden by the Bay, Chinatown Keong Saik Road etc.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Yeah I didn’t get any in the video but there is a lot for such a city!

[@geniegal78]

​@TravelLordOnLoc Go to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve & you can see plenty wildlife, even crocs 😊

[@geniegal78]

The wild chickens are actually all over Singapore.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

@@geniegal78 Next time I go I'd like to find one.

The Hawker Chan's stall (original) is actually just on the opposite street at the Chinatown Complex - Singapore's largest hawker centre! Food stalls are located at the building's second floor, basement is the wet market. A lot of tourists somehow missed this hawker centre, literally passes it and walk to Maxwell or other food stalls instead. I wonder why LOL. That shop you ate at is their air-conditioned branch after they expanded due to the star it gotten. Over at the hawker centre there will be long queue before the stall opens.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Oh really? I actually went on there and looked around but didn’t use any of the footage. Thanks for the info though! Too bad I didn’t see the original stall…

[@jeannette251]

Great video, as always. My brother and I are planning to visit Singapore next year, hopefully. Thanks for sharing!

The vehicular entrance to Raffles Hotel is Beach Road and that where the beach used to be. The shoreline is now 2.5 km due to land reclamation. Also due to land reclamation, Singapore is now 25% bigger than it was originally was. The 9% isn’t gratuity. That’s the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or sales tax. The gratuity is a service charge of 10% which is also already added. If the service is very bad, you can supposedly decline to pay it but that rarely happens.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Good to know! I appreciate the info and the comment!

[@euissumi1779]

Stunning views

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

I agree!

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple has 5 stories and a basement: 1. Ground Floor: A prayer hall with a large Maitreya Buddha statue 2. Second Floor (mezzanine): A library for studying Buddhist teachings. 3. Third Floor: A museum displaying Buddhist relics and artifacts. 4. Fourth Floor: The sacred Buddha Tooth Relic is housed here in a golden stupa. 5. Rooftop: Features a pagoda, garden, and prayer wheel. 6. Basement: canteen serving vegetarian meals. The temple is both a religious site and a cultural attraction.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Thanks for the info! It’s a pretty large temple! I didn’t want to bother people walking around too much because there was a service going on

[@palmtree_]

@@TravelLordOnLoc They're used to people watching them pray and taking pictures.

which do you like? A: Live in Marina Bay Sands or B: watching Marina Bay Sands from another hotel? i love B :) because its nice view from outside :)

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

I would like to stay at the Marina Bay Sands so I could check out the pools up there!

[@Marymaurer990]

No gum. Who knew! That city is gorgeous.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Yeah it’s very nice! Bring your own gum if you go there

[@geniegal78]

Just dispose of the gum properly into the trash bin after eating 😊

[@kaiyin3842]

Gum was banned because someone stuck it on the MRT door and the entire train could not leave because that door could not close 😬

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

@@kaiyin3842 Wow! Interesting!

[@finduko]

@@kaiyin3842 reminds me of the saying "that's why we cant have nice things"---of course I'd rather have a beautiful city like that, spotless with awesome architecture rather than gum.

[@hakim1462]

Back then it was called Temasek, later renamed Singapura, and it's still called Singapura today. "Singapore" is simply the English adaptation of the name.

Indeed!

[@j.t1682]

Singapore looks like any other cities in the U.S. I would say cities like Los Angeles or San Fransisco are slightly more modern and cleaner. I wouldn't waste my money flying over there and seeing the same thing in Asia.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Could be. It’s extremely safe and clean compared to those cities though. It might not seem as exciting of a destination as other places in Asia but it would be a pretty comfortable place to live…if you can afford it. Thanks for watching!

[@barriechew9826]

It is totally ok to eat and chew gum!! But be civic minded....do not spit anywhere onto the ground...but throw into the trash.....do not worry ....

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Yeah I agree with you there. Limiting gum does keep things clean though

[@Marymaurer990]

Too funny.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Thanks for watching!

[@Alex-tk2oh]

Such an expensive and boring country, probably the most boring one in Asia.

[@TravelLordOnLoc]

Yeah it’s definitely not got everyone. Very different than the surrounding countries!

[@rexman9961]

Agreed don't know anyone would visit Singapore which is expensive and nothing to offer except high rise buildings and man made jungle with a population of more than 6 million holed up in a tiny island

[@Aki-yn4pg]

Every country is unique. If you expect all countries in Asia to have the same vibes, then make a point to visit just one to save your time and money. You don’t live there so you need not fret so much over what that doesn’t appeal to you.

[@goodness_graciousme]

I mean that's your opinion but if you plan your trip properly and go where the locals go, it isn't boring at all. You tourists think it's all expensive and don't research. Don't do all the trouristy places and go where the locals go! Ask Singaporeans aroud! We are very helpful and will share exciting things you can do before traveling here, lol😊

[@muhammadfairuzsamsi7209]

Thanks for your honest opinion. Like attracts like.
