About us:
Mike and Gigi, two Romanians with a corporate background, decided to stop being full time digital nomads after four years of travel and choose Singapore as their base of operations.
Some people say that Singapore is very strict. I look at this video and I think the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Unlike many countries, Singapore does not have a policy of assimilation because the government finds this a violent process. Instead, people get to celebrate their own language and culture on the condition that they give back to society. I think the Singapore political system works very well to bring people from all walks of life together.
Actually a policy of assimilation exists in public housings. They make sure that every block of flats is multiracially represented.
They are strict to naughty people 😂
@@SuccessforLifesterThat's not assimilation, strictly speaking. The minorities very much retain their cultural traditions and beliefs. They don't have to conform to the cultural beliefs and values of the ethnic majority nor are they forced to learn their language.
@@aero.l I get what you mean. More like tolerance and acceptance. I have to endure my Indian national incense burning and his frequent loud voices, talking on hp and his screaming children who often stomp across my door and also probably broke a stack of my clay pots.
It is the disorderly and loose people that have an issue with order.
It must be on a Sunday or a public holiday. These are migrant construction and cleaning workers from India, Bangladesh on their rest day and they gather in Little India to shop and meet up with friends. For lesser crowd go on a weekday.
Sunday or public holiday is usually their off-day so they flocked to Little India to buy groceries & catch up with friends.
You guys are very funny. Welcome to Singapore.
I love your channel! Welcome to Singapore! 😍
Great to see how enjoyable and fulfilling shopping and eating.
Fun fact: there is that sign about the fighting because in 2013, there was a big riot in that area among the Bangladeshi workers that caused much damage n injuries. And Singapore now has the no public alcohol consumption after 10pm because of the riot. Before that, people were free to drink any time they want.
its the Indians who rioted, not Banglas
If you didn't mention Singapore, i would have thought that this is a travel video in India or Bangladesh
Mustafa Center is a good solid departmental store where you can find almost anything you might want. It is said they offer better prices because they bring in products in bulk. Some items are priced slightly lower than market prices because they are brought in from countries that have better exchange rates differences but of the same quality. For household items, most locals will browse online for good deals or visit value stores like Mustafa if they are items that you need/want to view in-person to test or examine first hand.
And yes, it is fairly common for people to spend a couple of hours simply browsing Mustafa Centre simply because of how big it is and also of the insane amount of products they carry. I hope you've enjoyed exploring this corner of Singapore. 😇
Gigi and Michael welcome back to Singapore. What a surprise.
Yeah cos it’s a Sunday. Its the time where the indian/bangladeshi workers meet up during their off day. Thus the crowd on Sunday. Other days less crowded.
Nearing to Deepavali will also have massive crowds and fairs arnd little india.
Mustaffa Centre usually are cheaper price than others out there. And u can find various brands/items there which u cant find elsewhere. Pple do currency exchange there too near the entrance. Used to be 24/7 but since covid they revise the timing.
You can try hmm azmi chaapathi for an awesome chaapathi, Usman Restaurant for pakisthani and naan. Also bangladeshi food arnd the area as well.
We called that their " port" where they hng out shopping meeting friends during their off days
they are in an area in serangoon- locally known as Little India.
This place is predominantly frequented by Indians due to the items available. Other races come to this place, too...
Amazing video !
Your should go there in the weekday rather than weekend to avold the super crowd.
How come you both did not choose to live in condo. Because it's so much more comfortable, and with facilities.
Beautiful vlog 😍
Sunday? off day. Go on weekdays.
It's Sunday so it's gonna be busy there as the workers are mostly off on Sunday
Great! U found ny go to holiday snacks. Those dahl n grams r very healthy for when i find d food isnt very healthy. Local ones have too much flour.
They might be shopping preparing for Deepavali ( their New Year). That's why it is so crowded.
Bangladesh muslim not hindu
When the store opened it was cheap now the prices are more expensive than others
It wasn’t this huge when I was still little residing at Syed Alwi road.
Never know there are so many Bangladeshi in Singapore. Haha...Mike lost Gigi in that massive supermarket 😂😅 A great meal of naan and tandoori chicken 😋😋😋 Thank you for sharing, Mike Gigi.
Sundays are their rest days thats why they congregate in little india on Sundays
Good question
It is their off day....
Exactly where i would go if i were them...😂
Only happens on Sundays
there is more Bangladesh ppl in Singapore than KL 👍🏾 for sure
But whole malaysia it is more. Confirm
It is a mix of Bangladeshi and Indians. Little India is their port to meet up during their off days.
No , it’s Little India instead of little Bangladesh
Each country are you from?
It's Little India not Little Bangladesh.
Looks like both
i think i saw this channel b4. the boyfriend only care about enjoying himself, doesnt look out n wait for the gf. there was a creepy man eyeing her at the junction. wth.... 1:37
Both of you looking tired. Mike getting old and Gigi getting younger 😊 guys settle in Bangladesh
In Singapore its very diversify.
In Malaysia, its only Malay first. Cameron and melacca used to be very nice but overtaken by mostly malay food and malay owners stalls. Malaysia trying to make penang into a majority malay place but failed. Malaysia is not equal and not diverse.
Hope you meet max chernov
Again coming back Bangladesh vlog vedio
What happened to u guy? 2 months no new video
Season holidays, but we have a few great videos coming up! You can also check on @dodoexplorers where we post a new video every week 🥳
Its not little bangldesh. You have two to three streets , where you can find bangldeshi shops.
Actually the place is known as Little India.
Little India is name of the place & not little bangladesh.😂😂
Singapore Vlogger
Bangladeshi every where 😮
Failure of their gov to give jobs. So they export humans
This is little india
Shame to bangladesh goverment, big land but more people immigrants. Malaysia will remove those immigrants away from stay in our land.
There more indian there in Singapore and there president also Indian
Nearly half of Singapore's workforce is made up of exploited cheap foreign labor from 3rd world countries. Nearly all the people you saw in the video are such people. These people are in Singapore on "work permits" so they have no rights to have their family members with them. These "permits" do not permit immigration so these very, very low paid workers must leave once the term is up. Without exploited cheap foreign labor, the Singapore economy would collapse.
same thing with mexican in the US except they are illegal.
At least these migrant workers are in SG voluntarily and are protected by labour laws, unlike some Western countries that build up themselves by genociding the indigenous, shackling foreign laborers in chains and enslaved them to get to their current level of development.
Hopefully they will not come to Indonesia because it is very dangerous for the security and comfort of the Indonesian people.
I did not know singapore has same issue with kl , full of Bangladeshis. Sad for our two countries
Nothing to be sad about. They filled up the lack of manpower that Singapore is facing. The place is crowded especially during Sunday and public holidays because it is their off days.
As long as they are respectful and peaceful, what’s the issue? 😅
They’re just migrant workers. Singapore has jobs for them that they’re willing to work hard for to provide for families back home, almost all of them will go back home once they completed their contracts.
@@weekuah not in malaysia, they escaped somewhere and refuse to go back. Because we are bigger, we cannot find them. Please understand the problem at a big scale.
@@keangwooichoo6138 it means there could be some flaws in the working arrangements that attributed to such problems.
It is called little India not Bangladesh .
