  • G'day and Welcome! Do you want to know how your first day in Singapore should go? then watch this video! By seeing as much as I could, eating as much Singaporean cuisine as my stomach would allow, and overall having a fantastic time, I made the most of my time there. In this video, I'll discuss my first impressions of Singapore, including whether I think the hype is deserved. Please post your comments on this video in the space provided below; I would love to hear them.

    Thank you for giving Singapore a shoutout! Most tourists just treat Singapore as a gateway to Southeast Asia and merely layover at our Changi Airport without bothering to realise the attractions there are to offer. This video would be of a great help, enjoy!

    Sg is famous for its public housing built by Housing Development Board (HDB) and houses more than 80% of its citizens. It’s very different from other countries’ subsidized public housing. It’s very well planned, designed and built. Each estate is a eco system with surrounding facilities from markets, hawker centres, shopping malls, schools, parks, playgrounds, exercise areas, sports complex, makes it a unique feature of Sg master planning for the city. It is recommended that Visitors explore our public housing estates to see how the locals live.

    Most foreigners visited the well manicured touristy Gardens by The Bay. But in Sg we have our well loved 163 year old 82 hectares UNESCO Heritage Singapore Botanic Gardens which is much more matured tropical garden and have a deep history with more variety of plants including a natural forest National Orchid enclosure and water bodies. There’s much more to explore there. There are 4 entry gates: Tanglin Gate (this is the original main entrance and main visitor Centre), Nassim Gate, Tyersall Gate and Bukit Timah Gate (Bukit Timah Gate is accessible via the Circle Line or Downtown Line at Botanic Garden Station).

    Welcome to Singapore! Mark Weins was back here recently. You may want to check out his videos for some food options. Do note that most neighbourhood hawker centres only serves the breakfast and lunch crowd. Only a handful like Old Airport Road and Newton Food Centre open at night. Chinatown Food Centre/Hawker Centre is the largest hawker centre in Singapore, you can get lost there LOL.
    Fun fact: We like to reserve (we call it "chope") our seats with packet of tissue/umbrella or other personal belongings placed on the table or chair while we go order our food. This is especially common in the CBD area (like Maxwell/Hong Lim). As this is a more efficient and time saving.

    Welcome to Singapore. On the main island, you can experience our multicultural lifestyle by visiting Chinatown, Little India, Arab Street (including Haji Lane) and Kumpong Glam. Visit some of the smaller islands like Pulau Ubin, St John's Island and Kusu Island. Sign up for a guided Kayak tour of the mangroves or Islands. Of course there is also Sentosa Island, but that is definitely touristy and will cost you some for the activities there e.g, Universal Studios, The Luge, Flying fox, Sea Aquarium etc. If you like nature, other than Marina Bay Gardens, do check out our Botanic Gardens (World Heritage site) and Southern Ridge Hiking Trail. If you are interested to learn how to make local cuisine, you can also sign up for a local cooking class.

One good place to go to is the Old Airport Road Food Center. If you like nature, The Southern Ridges trail might be nice. So is the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk. Enjoy your 10 days here!

      @johnlzr 2 года назад +1

      Agree with you. But regarding the part about how "it is not cheap". I take it as a case of paying for what you get. If you pay a higher price for a 5-star hotel, you expect to have better service and facilities than a cheap motel. In the same way, you get a lot of "good service and facilities" in Singapore over a "cheaper" country. All of the roads are flat without potholes. There is usually a way to get from one area to another via a shaded path that is wheelchair friendly. Government services work efficiently. Flowering plants and trees are found on every street, and the country has amazingly high levels of safety and security. All of these comes at a cost. It costs money to make sure roads are well-maintained, government services run properly, plants are watered and taken care of, streets are clean and safe, etc.

    Couroupita guianensis, known by a variety of common names including cannonball tree,[3] is a deciduous tree in the flowering plant family Lecythidaceae. It is native to the tropical forests of Central and South America,[1] and it is cultivated in many other tropical areas throughout the world because of its beautiful, fragrant flowers and large, interesting fruits. Fruits are brownish grey.[4] There are potential medicinal uses for many parts of Couroupita guianensis,[5] and the tree has cultural and religious significance in India.[5] In Sri Lanka, the cannonball tree has been widely misidentified as Sal, after its introduction to the island by the British in 1881, and has been included as a common item in Buddhist temples as a result.[6] WIKIPAEDIA

    Welcome to SG! I'd personally recommend checking out these spots (which are often left out in tourist-y lists)
    Nature: Kranji Marshes (theres a few farms there as well), Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves, Southern Ridges, Kusu and St Johns Island (requires a ferry)
    Food: While there's a ton of hawker centers and food courts, try the Milo Dinosaur (pretty common at most places) and Milk Powder Chicken at Two Chefs for more unique innovations
    Experiences: Haw Par Villa, Singapore Discovery Center (for Military exhibits), explore NUS/NTU (e.g. Hive at NTU, University Town at NUS)
    But the usual recommendations like Night Safari, Sentosa, Botanic Gardens, Jewel etc. are great too! Have a great time here :-)

    Welcome to Spore, Jack. If u r passionate about sustainable living, u gotta visit Kampong Admiralty n Punggol Town. These r public housing projects wif an emphasis on eco-sustainable n biophilic living. You'll be impressed. N for a touch of un-manicured goodness, u must visit the Sungei Boleh Wetlands Reserve n an offshore island called Pulau Ubin. There r plenty of other wholesome enjoyable places as well .... too many to name ... I'll jes mention two, ie UNESCO-heritage Botanic Gardens, n MacRitchie Reservoir (which has an awesome treetop canopy walk). Hv a great time!

    Hi Jack. Amazing vid and I liked the drone shot of the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay - it was brilliant. You may want to visit CapitaSpring (nearest MRT- Raffles Place). This is the newest skyscraper and you can go to 51st floor and 17-20th floors for free. You can have a bird's eye view of Singapore and it is totally free. Visiting hours: Mon-Fri 8.30am-10.30am, 2.30pm-6pm. There is also a hawker centre on the 2nd and 3rd floor serving very affordable meals. As this is in the CBD, it can get pretty crowded in the hawker centre. Enjoy your stay in Singapore. Just subbed your channel.

    Since you’re quite into green efforts, Singapore is trying to shake the concrete image of a Garden City (our tagline in the 70sand 80s which conjures an image of plants in an urban environment, emphasis on urban) to the current City in a Garden where the emphasis shifts to the garden.
    Someone else already recommended our park connectors which link our various parks and allows a walk across or even around the island (it’ll take a couple of days though). Another also talked about the Punggol shore on the north end where the Punggol Waterway, though man-made) is a lovely and green amble.
    And I’ve always been taken by the efforts to kind of return parts of the city to nature. Watch this transformation of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. ruclips.net/video/m15zd7YLBBw/видео.html

    I don't think it is wise to compare one country to another country, let alone a third world country to first world country... Rather you may compare it to your own country to see the difference and what can be improved. I am not Singaporean or Indian, but I believe every country has its own pace to grow given the resources, the government, the people and many more other things.. I do believe that Singapore can be an example or model country for other countries to follow but it doesn't mean that we can talk badly about another country... One thing you may learn from Singapore is to respect other countries people, cultures, etc.. that's why their diversity is so obvious, accepted, acknowledged and seen. I even think that other first world country can learn this from Singapore ❤
