I hear you. It's not easy living anywhere as foreigner. To be honest, maybe Singapore is probably one of the easiest in Asia. I mean it's literally hell in some other cities...
I used to carry around a hand towel but lately no, we mainly use malls aircon to dry ourselves or escape the heat, we jump into one before it's too late and calculating your journey with malls in mind helps lol! Food is the main attraction definitely. Anis mentioned the westernized side of living in Singapore is what made the country appealing, you'll be feeling familiar as a westerner trying to stay here and also Asians who's moving here will feel familiar as well. We're a melting pot of cultures. Also having English as the business language helps a lot too.
I absolutely love your channel! I visited Singapore (and Japan) and only left two days ago back to Europe - so your channel helps me to retain my connection with Singapore and Japan!
it’s so interesting how he has some bit of a local accent mixed in when he speaks, might be also because he spent quite some years in asia as a whole, not just singapore. he didn’t have a strong french accent when speaking. :)
Singaporeans like to get to the point and have the business done. No need to have small talks because the discussion is about business not about friendship. So, Singaporeans need Anis' expertise to do something, he has found a niche. Good for him. Good for Glib to share the common points as foreigners and seeing both enjoying local food and desserts. Glad for both of you staying and working in Singapore.
There are definitely issues when cycling in Singapore, but I think it's still manageable so long you know the park connectors and take that to your advantage while planning your routes. In some sense, I feel blessed having the paths that we have in SG as compared to Malaysia or Indonesia 😂
Anis' bicycle is so local-looking😄😄 By the way, I think most Singaporeans just use tissue instead of towels to dry themselves when out, or escape to aircon places.
Merci Anis for talking about yr experience and Ghib can you maybe make a video about the Motorsport community in Japan considering F1 is in Singapore td
Completely agree with the cycling struggle. Pedestrians don't want you on their path, cars don't want you on the road. Can only hope for the govt to make it safer and more cyclist-friendly, especially since they don't want people to drive
As a runner, cyclist and driver, I think a lot of cyclists asked for it. When they are on the shared paths, they speed, don't comply with rules, expect pedestrians to give way and forced themselves through small gaps between people. When they are on the roads during peak hours, instead of keeping left they cycle in the middle of the lanes or occupy the entire lane. If cyclists want respect from pedestrians and drivers, then cyclists have to build a culture of respecting others on pavements and roads.
Wish we had separate bicycle lanes on the road like in China. Those were fenced off from the pavement and the main road, and bicyclists could zoom past without worries. Though I guess this will be impossible to implement in our current urban landscape.
Instead of berating on a system that’s actually accommodating, how about reflecting on the errant, unruly and dangerous behaviors most cyclists do that impact everyone else? There’re good reasons why most people hate cyclists. There’re so many cycling lanes but cyclists just don’t use them properly, instead abusing and endangering others on the roads. And honestly, demand (no. of cyclists) isn’t high too. With our effective public transport system, I really don’t see how cyclists should be prioritized in nation building
@@silverchairsg we have cycling lanes along Tanah Merah and some parts of Singapore. Guess what, there will be idiots who still choose to cycle on the roads beside these cycling lanes. Because of these idiots, I choose to cycle between 4.30am and 8.30am on weekends so that I don't become collaterals of these cyclists. Even so I still face the hazards of drunk bastards driving back home after their parties.
Being a local, I do carry a hand towel with me when I go out as I perspire a lot. As a kid in the old days, our parents always prepare us a little handkerchief tucked into the pocket of our school uniform, most classmates did the same, not sure if the kids do it nowadays.
Back during my pre-uni schooling days (2000s) I was the only guy in the class (and probably the school) who still carried a handkerchief to wipe my sweat.
ghib san wanna know why we don't sweat? because we're accustomed to the heat and we expected the heat thus we dont go outdoors often even if we're in outdoor we try to walk into the shelter or carry an umbrella with us. foreigners tend to like to explore more of singapore thus they will walk mostly outdoor places
Me (Singaporean) Last time (10 years+ ago) i dont use towel, somehow used to it to dry naturally. but now, there is a small towel is in my bag... getting hotter nowadays.
To be fair I think the reason we have so little small talk is because we attend meetings on time. We go right into the agenda. If you're always waiting for team members to show up, the early birds make small talk.
i wish i can have a meal with ghib san. i wud love to talk to him about my view as Singaporean to Japan ( after all sometime do work with Japanese ) hahahaha yishun go chomp pang
Bonjour Anis,, Hi Ghib its Funny when Anis said Hao aaa,, 😂,, oh Anis like kwetiau, good one 👍😅, nice vlog Ghib talking to foreigners living in Singapore,, local dont sweat maybe they dont walk too long outside hehe its hot la they walk inside d mall,, oh ya in japan i had 2 bicycles but here i dare not buy any its not bicycle friendly here, anyway just take bus n train lah or walk ,, 😅, Mata ne Ghib 👍✋😬
Haha, like many comments mentioned, many of us Singaporeans try to keep ourselves cool by finding air-conditioned places to hang out. And, we primarily dry our sweat with tissues, though there is a small minority who uses cloths like you and Anis. 😉
Is the ending cut off? I think singaporeans don’t carry handkerchief just becus it’s troublesome 😂 use tissue, wipe and throw. And we r good at finding ways to escape heat 😂
i started to use one inspired by Japanese habits in Japan during the summer ! i mostly sweat from the forehead so i just take a spare Handkerchief and put it in my cap
Singapore is Singapore, not France or Japan. Things in France/Japan would not work in Singapore. Ofc it’s gonna be different, and that’s the reason why some of you are attracted to work/reside here in the first place. Anyone in a foreign country would struggle in some sense but the least your struggles in Singapore are mild
If there are no strict rules imposed, there will be chaos & unruly citizens like in US, europe, etc. Most of them are lazy & keep protesting for more pay but don't work hard.
Japan will not be Japan if things are the same as France. Likewise in Singapore. Foreigners cannot wish Singapore should be like their own country. Too many difference in different countries for Singapore to please anybody. Better to stick to what works, for Singapore to be Singapore. We can only be Singapore and responsible for ourselves. Cycling. No one can work out cycling with traffic in a small city with 6+million. You cannot compare to large space countries like France, etc. Now. What you need to compare to will be London. Central London. Even London with all its cycling culture hasn't got it right. Frequently. You get a lot of road rage between cyclist & car drivers especially cabs. You even get cyclist deaths. From reports, London cyclist using cycle lanes, in intersections have a tendency of not wanting to stop at traffic lights. It was a hassle to the exercise. They tend to crash and take risk as they see fit. Especially they think they can be faster than the car. With any country. It is silly to expect the country to change to a visitors taste from a foreign country. France cannot be France without its wine? England cannot be England without its pub culture. So. Chill.
You're the one who's not 'chill'. Don't know why there are always such sensitive defensive people like you around. Small observation and pointing out a difference between some other countries you have to make it sound like it's an attack and call people silly.
@@Joe-gf6vn ha ha. Why is US not the same as Singapore? Why is Malaysia not the same? Why is UK not the same? Why are you no nearer your success in making any country nor people the same.???? Hence, you are promoting something that you are incapable of? What does this make you? For starters. Hypocrite? That's why. I said "chill". The last thing anyone in their own country wants to hear is a foreigner telling them how to live. Obviously, you have not lived in harmony within a foreign country before. As a foreigner, a visitor, if you want to stay, you adapt, not demand. That's why this video maker's attempt at PR thinking he can get it quicker than anyone else is unreal. Did he think, with superfiscal contents, he knows Singapore.? I saw his content on London/ Oxford. It was just a 5 minutes tourist effort. It 's not even 50% helpful. It' s down to "let's get lost together". Nay. The best way for this video maker to get PR is to get himself qualified to do NS. He is not open to it. Besides, his comments on his previous videos does not make him as someone who wants to settle in Singapore to be part of Singapore. That makes him an "economical" applicant. Without his "Singapore" videos, his income via U tube will take a hit. That's why I used "chill". As not to dig deeper into things. So much for your position without any actions to make your think real. Everyone can do that.
@qtsssim fear of foreigners? You got to be joking. You did not see how the French man steer clear of this Japanese video maker trying to trap him into some exposa with sensitive content. Cheap thrill. You need to fear such foreigner? Joke. I respect the French man. He is cleverer than this Japanese blogger. As for this blogger, no fear. He does not know himself at all. If you want a PR, you need to show your contribution. Same throughout the world. Also, while women married to a citizen men get kudos in getting PR. Man married to Citizen woman must apply on his own merit. This is the same everywhere. You need to fear some foreigner who does not even know the basics of what he wants.? You need to use xenophobic with better understanding of this context. He came to Singapore on a work pass. He married. He resigned from his job to do blogging full time. Doing superfiscal videos on Singapore lining his own pocket. His video content are about the same as many. So. Contributing? His temperament broadcast using this platform to try to get PR in a couple of years.? With his roots still in Japan, with he trying to change Singapore, is he responsible? Nay, he already clearly said in his blog. His idea of getting PR is to get cheaper medical benefits, etc. Nothing to settle in Singapore. Nay. You must be joking to fear such a person. Singapore do not need this kind of resident. Just imagine. At the first sign of trouble, he has the entitlement to get out of Singapore. Where does this leaves all the Singaporeans in Singapore. Nay. At least the Frenchman is real.
Bad choice to eat this curry for an interview. You should have eaten the non curry stuff. The curry will stain ur clothes if u slurp. Plus it is spicy for a Japanese. Hahaha. Local people do not use towels cos we are Sooooo Used to it lor. 😂 Hong Lim is such a small hawker centre.

yea~ we all did when we are kids in school.. nvr heard of kids using handkerchief nowadays
Dry with tissue paper. Or run to aircon place.
Yeah most of us are rarely out for long without aircon 😂

Singapore born Singaporean are acclimatised. We do sweat but not profusely.
Actually the summers in Tokyo and Paris are worse than Singapore. The Angmoh just want to compare their better with our worst.
@@uwet.8826 hahahaha ok lah their 4 seasons counts for cooldown time before another heatwace comes in ours 50/50 either rain or shine
I think I'm just used to the heat as a local. Just a little bit of shade is enough to cool me down to stop sweating. But it might just be me
Me (Singaporean) Last time (10 years+ ago) i dont use towel, somehow used to it to dry naturally. but now, there is a small towel is in my bag... getting hotter nowadays.

フランスで飲食業されている日本の方の動画を見ていて案内を開いたらフランスの方だったので、びっくりしました。今日、生まれて初めて日本のチキンライス食べました。いま、沖縄のちゃーはん食べています。食にバンザイ。
Maki Ueda? Saitama prefecture?
no
i am not
東京で働いてますが、仕事中に私用してる人は私の会社には多いし、誰も問題にしてないです😅
それでもフランスよりは少ないのかな？

This ah heng curry chicken noodles is my fav!
scared of eating curry in hawker center, the clothes are magnetic to curry 🍛😁
僕も数年前実際に🇸🇬を訪れてみて🇯🇵🇨🇳と比べたら欧米に近いかなな？とは思ったね。
Nice video ☺️
As I perspire a lot, I always carry 2 handkerchiefs and 1 small towel, sometimes 2. I have no idea how others survive without it. ;P
Bending rules could be seen unfair to others. Everyone will follow suit then it could be an issue.
Bending rules is like breaking rules. Why have rules then?
we don't dry ourselves with towel. because it doesn't help at all.
Is the ending cut off?

omg really his bike?? very uncle HAHA
Habibi!😅🤣
I think his carriage box behind is not allowed. Edge to edge sideways, the dimension cannot be more than 70cm.
The work culture in japan is one of the worst in the world.
I carry a handkerchief with me, if I don’t I never forget tissues or serviettes.
Follow the process…. If something goes wrong, its not your fault. U had done your due diligence. Take shortcuts…. Anything wrong…. Its all on you.
I guess Singapore personal income tax rate is lower than US and France.
Locals wipe sweat on their shirt.
Singaporeans do sweat and we sweat buckets. Just that we're not used to carrying hankies or towels wherever we go.
よく知らんけどこれたぶんフランス人だからかもね。

Tunisia French is a colony of France. Tunisia is in Africa where people speaks French. So Isn’t he more in tuned with Tunisia than France?
After covid 19 I moved out of Singapore. I realize the country is too small the space is very very limited and virus can spread very easily.
this kind of topic ...
It never used to be a problem until the last 10 years when more entitled cyclists get on to the road
Curry puffs are overpriced.
Ang mo means western people or like white people
