Correction.we did not “receive” independence from Malaysia, we were kicked out….and up till now, singaporeans are still grateful for their decision.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you for pointing out the historical accuracy. It's important to remember our nation's journey.

[@VisitSingapore]

We're so thrilled you guys came back again to visit us! 🤩 To more future trips here 🫶

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support to our channel! We truly appreciate it!

I am glad you guys enjoyed Singapore. I moved here from L.A. 20 years ago and am enjoying this little island nation every minute. BTW, you guys look good together.

[@ChewsToExplore]

Your comment made my day! It's always nice to connect with fellow content viewers.

[@JSimHZ]

About the ATM thing as 9:33, you don't actually need to withdraw $50. The minimum amount that you are required to withdraw is $20, so it is actually possible to withdraw in a slightly more accepted denomination, which is $10. You can actually see the denominations of notes that the ATM dispenses on the bottom left corner of the ATM screen. Most ATMs in Singapore dispense $10, $50 and $100. If the particular denomination is not available, a horizontal slash is indicated on the denomination on the ATM screen. If you want to avoid withdrawing the $50 note, try withdrawing between $20 - $40 in a single transaction at the ATMs (if the $10 notes are available).

[@stefanossmitty3318]

I was there just before Covid. One of my favorite cities/country in the world. Everything works well, respectful, great infrastructure, easy public transportation, walkable, clean. Not much to complain about…except maybe the humidity. Looking forward to going back when I’m up ready to fly for 19 hours 😂

[@ChewsToExplore]

Truly agree with everything you say, we love it here but Ah, the humidity strikes again! It always finds a way to make itself known, doesn't it?

[@stefanossmitty3318]

@@ChewsToExplore haha. It really does! Small price to pay though. 😊

Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬

[@cheeseizblue]

Remember to take advantage of the train system and travel out of the city center ! Most tourists are trapped in the Marina area and venture only to Chinatown (not a true reflective of Singaporean Chinese way of life btw!). Don't miss out on our Malay community area Geylang Serai! From there , head towards Joo Chiat and Katong area! Tons of heritage buildings and traditional eateries to interesting international cafes, and all these for residents, real living neighbourhood, not a tourist trap like Chinatown!

[@aurelquintana8279]

OHHHH MYYYY GOSHHHH!! What an impeccable timing! I will be in Singapore in September. I'm sure this guide will me tremendously. keep up the good work guys!

In Singapore, the Type M plug that you mentioned at 13:52 till 13:53 is only used in situations where you have high-energy consuming appliances like air-conditioners, ovens or clothes dryers. The Type M plug in Singapore can withstand current levels of up to 15 Amperes, and special modification of the home circuitry needs to be done by an experienced electrician. Type G plugs are more commonly found and used in Singapore homes, Type G plugs in Singapore can withstand current levels of up to 13 Amperes and are the default circuitry arrangement in Singapore.

7:30 April and May are super HOT. December is probably the best month since it rains more often and feels cooler as a result. Usually it's a big dump then the sun comes back.

[@ChewsToExplore]

We went in July and it was blazing but also this past trip is from January and it was still so hot and humid. I guess nature's way of keeping us on our toes with its unpredictable weather!

Stumbled into your channel here thanks to the KZbin algo. Its always refreshing to see you "young folks" get out. I'm in my 60's, and my Single Black Mother got fed up with America and decided to move herself, and me (her only child) at age 9, from Los Angeles to Recife Brazil...in *1969.* Since then I have been to about 77 Countries, at least 500 cities, lived in 4 Countries for for more than a year each, and have residences in both Morocco and Malaysia. I say this because I fully _Expect_ you guys to more than double my Country count, and more importantly, plant a couple of permanent (Plan-A, B, or C) flags about the planet, well before you get to be my age. For what its worth; perhaps presentations about "Plan-B" and "Plan-C" offshore residence/property ownership may be an enlightening topic for your future videos? When you make it to Tangier, let me know. Good luck and nothing but the best!

Hi, I am planning to visit Singapore and I have long stop overs on both my flights to the final destination and back to US. So I have a layover of 12 hrs on June and 22 hrs on July on my return journey. Can I exit the airport both times on my single itinerary? And I am from Texas. I so confused with what I see online hope you can help. Thanks and the video is informative.🎉

[@ChewsToExplore]

Thanks for the support to our channel and checking it out. So happy for your trip to SIngapore. If you are a US citizen you absolutely can get out of the airport and explore or if you want you can stay in the airport as there is so much to see and do!

[@zacharti124]

Can I get out both on my onward and return journey in the same itinerary? Or is it just once per trip.

[@ChewsToExplore]

@@zacharti124 We did it on both legs!

[@theeglobalcitizen]

How were you able to get permission to fly your drone in SIngapore ?

[@ChewsToExplore]

I had no issues flying, they gave me a paper at the airport saying that I cannot fly at the airport but that was it

[@theeglobalcitizen]

@@ChewsToExplore interesting. How long ago did you visit Singapore? Was just there a few weeks ago and their drone laws have completely changed. The government is now using DJI AeroScope to track drone activity all around the city, lots of locals and tourists have been charged and some have been left with multiple legal charges. Have a look on KZbin 🥲

[@theeglobalcitizen]

@@ChewsToExplore that's insane, was just there a few weeks ago and it is almost impossible to fly a drone now. The local officials are now using DJI aeroscope to detect drones, check their owners and check flight paths. They are also dishing out hefty fines and a lot of locals have been hit with massive court hearings and charges. It's actually so bad that when I visited, I had intended to fly my drone, but didn't fly it at all because the laws are so strict. When did you visit if you don't mind me asking ?

For Americans, SG will be like NY City. We speak English at home and English is our official business language. By the way, there's a small town in Michigan called Singapore. Next time, visit other parts of island. Don't be misled by crazy rich Asians n your media.

[@ChewsToExplore]

It's true, Singapore is a vibrant city with English as a common language. There's so much more to explore beyond what you see in the media!
