Hi Cory! Thanks for visiting Singapore. Yes, the Aljunied/Geylang area that your hotel is situated at is famous for its night life, it turns into a vibrant city with neon lights and there are many famous food stalls there. Hence, most of the food establishments are opened till the wee hours and closed in the morning. But I'm glad you get a glimpse of Singapore while you are here. 👍
Thanks Shana Tai! Yes, I really wish I could have fully explored the Aljunied/Geylang area, as well as visit Little India and Chinatown. Next time... next time... hehehe
Great vlog! I have mixed thoughts about Singapore mainly due to the weather and hotel I stayed in but agree about Marina Bay and surrounding area at night. Found the locals incredibly friendly and the food delicious!
Ah, sorry to hear you had a less than desirable experience during your stay in Singapore. I'm definitely going to go back for at least 3 days. There just wasn't enough time to see and eat everything in 24 hours!
I have to agree the city was beautiful , the sights and sounds and food were awesome omg. I love my New York but Singapore was beautiful and super clean
I can't wait to go back! I never got a chance to see Little India or Chinatown, and I never got to eat all the chili crab and other stuff. 24 hours is def not enough time in Singapore!
+Ashiqin Bahtiar That's great!!! I want my videos to feel like full experiences that viewers can take in, instead of quick and forced videos. ^^ Thanks for commenting!!!
Wow! There are so many places in sgp u need to go to... 3-4 day’s is definitely not enough... some more suggestions here that may take u a whole day each... Day 1 - Sgp zoological gardens (+river cruise inside... the manatees enclosure will mesmerise u for hours) + Night Safari - they’re Asia’s number 1 and world ‘s number 2 for a reason. Day 2 - Jurong bird park (if u buy ticket for all the above + this, it’s waaaay cheaper) + Jurong Point mall (some yummy food) Day 3 - Botanical Gardens (usually takes us 3hrs minimum & we take the longest in the Orchid Enclosure) + downtown Orchard Road (don’t forget to go down the alleyways for some yummy food) and if u have more time in the day, go further down towards Little India (as long as u don’t go on weekends cos it gets sooo crowded) Days 4 & 5 - Sentosa Island - I take at least 2 days to see the entire island. There’s the Universal Studios that’ll take u at least half a day... Then if it is still there, the huge aquarium of SEA Aquarium next door will take another 2hr at least... then dinner... the next day, venture into the historical and sporty and beachy parts of the island... Day 6 - Chinatown, Little India, Bugis Junction night markets (right opposite the swanky malls)... in fact, go deep down into the bugis junction train station and you’ll be surprised with all the good food they have there... maybe check out the many cultural museums that u missed out... Day 7 - Geylang Serai - I go there for the food at Haig Road, and then some cloth for curtains and bedding... if u know the measurements, they can do it for u too... but I think u won’t have any problems with that in Hanoi... and then, Arab Street, which your friends have brought u out to...but there is a different side of Arab Street that u didn’t see that u may want to check it out... Day 8 - if u r leaving sgp by now, I suggest u spend an entire day in the Changi Airport... there are several terminals and every one gives u different things... there are the usual little spots of orchid gardens in there, but u need to seek the outdoor gardens on the roof, the hawker centre in the multi storey car park, the swimming pool, the transit hotels, the gyms, the various art installations, the viewing galleries, the sky trains, the little grocery shops... we loved it... Can’t wait to see where u take us next when u visit Singapore next time... 🌸❤️
Thanks! Yeah, I'm always super laid back, which can sometimes lend to boring videos since I'm not all hyper and trying to be overly entertaining. hahaha Glad you will enjoy my videos ^^
Hi Marissa, yes, I was there for only 24 hours on a visa run. What a wonderful place! I can't wait to go back and spend at least 3 or 4 days there to really see everything, and try all the foods!!!
7 лет назад+2
24 hours and you did well showing us around. I love to go one of these days.
Thanks! There are so many places I didn't go and definitely a million foods I didn't get to try, but I'm very happy that I could spend a day with some friends and see some cool stuff. ^^
Wow! Thanks for the comments guys cuz I so wanted to go overseas somewhere just anywhere on my bucket list and I am finding all kinds of people on RUclips saying how wonderful the people are and the view and the wonderful restaurants. Thanks, I have chosen Singapore! I watch Feed the Corey, Mark Weins, and Mikey Chien ALL the time and they all been to Singapore. Hope Singapore got durians cause I hear Maylasia has good Musang King. Viva la Feed The Cory!!!
I think Singapore is going to give you the widest variety of foods and multi-culturalism. There are some other good cities worth visiting, like Hong Kong or Taipei. I really like all 3 places very much. Singapore has walls of durians in the Geylang area where I stayed. I saw so many, you can even see one of the places in this video. I can't wait to try durian from Malaysia... I hear it's the best out of all durian!
Yeah, it's a really wonderful city! Only reason I chose not to look into living there was the cost of living, it's a very expensive city! Glad you enjoyed the video ^^
I think you'd really like Singapore! I'm doing well now, though I wasn't for a bit there, hence the lack of video uploads or social media presence. Hope you're doing good! When's the next time you're due for a Korea trip? lol Where haven't you been in Korea!?
Yeah I have missed your videos! I think I will go to Korea later next year, I'm probably visiting the Philippines in January then vegas in Feb. Hopefully I can get to Hanoi at some point too!
It's soooo nice there! It was a slightly similar, yet different, version of Hong Kong. Definitely a multi-cultural fusion and very modern and clean. I woudl consider living there if it weren't for the extremely high cost of living. >_
great video and if you find it too expensive many from Malaysia and Indonesia go Camping at East Coast Park for the weekend which is fun and a great place to enjoy the beach and the weather.. however the Singapore authorities don't like people having fun sometimes and now seem to be cracking down on camping on the beaches which is such a shame as is such a great way to enjoy Singapore..
Interesting. Next time I go to Singapore and have some actual time to spend there, I'll look into that camping thing. I love camping! I hope I'm able to experience that before the authorities permanently ban camping.
Camping would make a really good video too as it would show the real Singapore and cafes on the beaches which are so cool but often forgotten about.. also can make Barbecue on the beach cooking facilities and is great fun as often there are many people joining in so like an unofficial party on the beach.. these are great food places that often get missed..
I was in Singapore myself last month, I used to live there when I was little. Beautiful place but too hot. You should have visited the Botanical gardens it was truly gorgeous, especially the orchid gardens. Its stunning.
Oh cool! What was it like to be back where you used to live? Must of had some flashbacks to your childhood. ^^ I'm definitely going back and spending more than just 24 hours there next time. lol
Hey Cory ;-) I met up with an old friend from middle school & bought some traditional Sarong Kebaya (Peranakan clothing for women, very rich history). Visited Little India & Botanical gardens & had some great KOREAN food in the mall at Bukit Batok. I suggest you check out the Istana & Fort Canning, Singapore Peranakan museum, Bukit Tima Natural Reserve, MacRitichie Resevoir, Suntech city, Newton Hawker center (*Great *Food*) + ORCHARD ION. Singapore is famous for its chili crab, shrimp noodles, and lots more to offer.
Wow what a great video Cory. I really liked the way you showed Singapore, it felt like it was more real and streetwise. You showed more locations than the other videos and can't believe you did through 24 hours. Probably the part I liked was the water hole in marina bay shopping centre. The guides were pretty helpful. What camera did you use to shoot?
Thanks Kart! I have to thank my friends Iskandar and Suhaila, they showed me around their city and gave me the local perspective. ^^ 24 hours was definitely not enough... I didn't get to see Little India or Chinatown, and I really need to try some chili crab! I filmed this on my Panasonic Lumix G85. ^^
We are going in a week or so never done Singapore before on the way to Sydney, your video was an excellent taster Thank You for the share hope you had a good flight. Take Care.
Very beautiful Singapore love it there cannot live there is very good food and fresh healthy fruits cost too much to live there unless you are born there and rise there thank you for sharing Bless you.
Yes! It was very interesting because there was a nice cool temperature and breeze in Singapore, but the nearly 100% humidity just makes you sticky and sweaty, even if it isn't hot. Such a weird feeling! But I loved Singapore so much. If I had a good job there, I would consider living there.
Feed The Cory Well I live in Australia and we do have hot summers but it’s a dry heat so very comfortable. I’d like to live in Asia but I need a winter of sorts. Hanoi gets a cool season so that could be ok.
I was looking for cheap hotels online. Many of them were in that area. I didn't know it was a red light district. No problem, though. I didn't see any prostitutes at all. And the food around that area at the hawker stalls were really good.
Yeah, my friends told me that when they were dropping me off after seeing the Supertrees. It's ok though, it wasn't dirty or sketchy at all. I've lived in way worse areas before, lol
cory..please come to indonesia. You can go to yogyakarta or bali. I'm in yogya.We have good food and unique place. I've been watching all your video's and I love it. :-)
I would love to visit Indonesia!!! I have a special place in my past due to Indonesia. I used to study Pencak Silat in my early 20's. It was my first real introduction to Indonesian culture. I'd love to learn more! ^^
+Chuong Wynn Visa run just means you have to leave the country and come vack to renew the visa. Yiu can leave for a few hours if you want. The important part is that you actually physically leave the country. For Vietnam there are several types of tourist and business visas. You can get 3 month, 6 month, or 1 year toursit visas, for single entry or multiple entry. I was on a single entry 3 month tourist visa when I moved here. Then I did this visa run and got a 6 month multiple entry visa. But I still have to leave every 3 months to keep it active. Visa runs are a great excuse to travel to a nearby country! My next visa run will probably be Thailand, Myanmar, or Malaysia. Not sure yet. Indonesia is on my radar as well. ^^
Hi Cory, I hope you can visit Philippines on yout next trip. I totally like your Vietnam videos. Vietnam is my second favorite country after Japan outside my home country. I also wish to visit Vietnam soon. :)
Yikes. If you want a cheap but cheerful place to stay, try a "poshtel" like Adler Hotel in Chinatown. It's in the city center and you can walk everywhere from there (like to Marina Bay Sands, etc) versus, Aljuneid.
Thanks for the tips. ^^ Yeah, this was what I saw online that was cheap but wasn't a hostel. I hate staying at hostels, I need my own private room and shower. lol Next time I'll definitely stay in a much nicer accommodation. Poshtel sounds nice. ^^
Hi Cory, thank you for this awesome video. I am visiting Singapore next year. May I know what's the name of the hotel you"re staying? I am not picky so I guess that hotel works for me. :-) Cheers!
It was the Oxley Blossom Hotel. There's apparently a few hotels with similar names, I guess all run by the same company. This was in the Geylang neighborhood, closest MRT station to the hotel was Aljunied or Kallang. Both walking distance.
Yes, I'm alive. I've just been dealing with some personal things and taking time for myself. Sorry for being absent, but don't worry, things are better and I'm back to making videos! ^^
I learned about that the night my friends dropped me off at my hotel. They told me my street was a red light area. But it wasn't bad. I didn't see any hookers and the neighborhood is very clean. I've seen crazy red light districts in other cities. Geylang is so nice compared to those other places. lol
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=visa% visa run: Stepping back then back again in a country over a short period of time (ie same day) - in order to reset/extend the period of days a non-resident can stay in a country.
Thanks J Wilson, you helped define it perfectly. I was on a 3 month tourist visa, meaning I had to leave the country to renew the 3 month cycle. But this time I opted for a 6 month tourist visa, multiple-entry. I still have to leave every 3 months, but at least I don't have to buy a Visa On Arrival paper or go through that process until next year when I renew it again.
Yes, exactly! A lot of people look down on the area I stayed in because it's a known "red light" district, but honestly, it was the most peaceful "red light" district I've ever seen. And the cleanest too! hehehe I didn't see a single prostitute on the streets, even at night time. It was very quiet. And there was no trash or anything. To me, it was a nice quiet area and the hotel room was definitely clean and cheap. ^^
Singapore and Tokyo are the two cleanest cities I've ever been in. And yeah, for $24 it had a clean room with clean bed. That's all I needed. Just a place to crash. hehe Thanks for commenting MIMO!
You can not be in. Singapore for. 24.hours you got to be at lush fews day or better one week you will like the food and many other as well this is cheap this room thanks .
I am from America and only speak English. If I visited Singapore would they be unfriendly towards me or charge me more for food and lodging? Cause Trump is president, I'm afraid to go anywhere now.Thanks! 💙
+Rei Lea No, Singapore is full of smart people who are kind and nice. Everyone speaks English and all signs are in English. Dont let Trump ruin one more thing in our lives.
Singaporeans dont care where one is from or even who your president is. We welcome anyone to visit our country as long they dont vandalise or disrespecting our country. We speak 4 different languages, not just English. There are like 50k Americans working and living in Singapore :)
Rei Lea don't go to Sim Lim Square. Half of he electronic shops there basically rip off not only foreigners but locals as well. We have a lot of shopping Malls here. Basically no bargaining there and you won't be charged extra just because you're a foreigner. The food court and coffeeshop have their pricing on their signboard. Singaporeans are generally a very reserved lot. We're grumpy most of the time. This can be seen if you take the MRT. :)
Nah, on a whole, we are actually one of the largest allies of America and once they know you are a tourist, people generally will treat you really nice. Also, food and lodging prices are mandated to be clear and visible to customers. So no worries. oh, yea, and English is the operative language that binds us as a multi-racial society.
+It's Bree I usually go for AirBNB but there wasnt any cheap options. I was going for cheap as possible and I saw this hotel option on Bookings.com so I went for it. ^^

Eat and buy snacks for bring back home! 😁
Usually for layovers and similar short stays I try to at least create a bit of a schedule to make the most of it!
Hi Cory! Thanks for visiting Singapore.
Yes, the Aljunied/Geylang area that your hotel is situated at is famous for its night life, it turns into a vibrant city with neon lights and there are many famous food stalls there. Hence, most of the food establishments are opened till the wee hours and closed in the morning.

Great vlog! I have mixed thoughts about Singapore mainly due to the weather and hotel I stayed in but agree about Marina Bay and surrounding area at night. Found the locals incredibly friendly and the food delicious!
Ah, sorry to hear you had a less than desirable experience during your stay in Singapore.
I'm definitely going to go back for at least 3 days. There just wasn't enough time to see and eat everything in 24 hours!
Glad to see some new videos Cory. Singapore looked amazing! Looking forward to more great vlogs !
Thanks Julie! Got a new vlog about my 4 day trip to Nha Trang coming out this evening. ^^
I have to agree the city was beautiful , the sights and sounds and food were awesome omg. I love my New York but Singapore was beautiful and super clean
I can't wait to go back! I never got a chance to see Little India or Chinatown, and I never got to eat all the chili crab and other stuff. 24 hours is def not enough time in Singapore!
What a beautiful city. I enjoy your walks and food shows. Thank you
You're welcome Sandra!
Singapore looks beautiful I love the sites you choose to visit!
Thanks! I'll go back again in the future and spend at least 3 to 4 days there. ^^ I missed out on sooooooo much food on this trip.
Really enjoyed this vlog about my country. I have always been fascinated with Vietnam, esp my fave pho! So I am a new subscriber to your channel.
Thanks Michele, really happy you enjoyed the video! And thank you for subscribing too! ^^ Stay tuned for more videos from Vietnam
Chao anh! Your short excursion looks like good experience. This footage shows the splendid pictures of the city. Cam on rat nhieu..
it feels like you are spending more than one day in Singapore and it makes me wanna go there too!
+Ashiqin Bahtiar That's great!!! I want my videos to feel like full experiences that viewers can take in, instead of quick and forced videos. ^^ Thanks for commenting!!!
All the food looked soooo good!
My only regret is I didn't have time to try all the famous foods there. There's just too many, and not enough time!

Wow! There are so many places in sgp u need to go to... 3-4 day’s is definitely not enough... some more suggestions here that may take u a whole day each...
Day 1 - Sgp zoological gardens (+river cruise inside... the manatees enclosure will mesmerise u for hours) + Night Safari - they’re Asia’s number 1 and world ‘s number 2 for a reason.
Day 2 - Jurong bird park (if u buy ticket for all the above + this, it’s waaaay cheaper) + Jurong Point mall (some yummy food)
Day 3 - Botanical Gardens (usually takes us 3hrs minimum & we take the longest in the Orchid Enclosure) + downtown Orchard Road (don’t forget to go down the alleyways for some yummy food) and if u have more time in the day, go further down towards Little India (as long as u don’t go on weekends cos it gets sooo crowded)
Days 4 & 5 - Sentosa Island - I take at least 2 days to see the entire island. There’s the Universal Studios that’ll take u at least half a day... Then if it is still there, the huge aquarium of SEA Aquarium next door will take another 2hr at least... then dinner... the next day, venture into the historical and sporty and beachy parts of the island...
Day 6 - Chinatown, Little India, Bugis Junction night markets (right opposite the swanky malls)... in fact, go deep down into the bugis junction train station and you’ll be surprised with all the good food they have there... maybe check out the many cultural museums that u missed out...
Day 7 - Geylang Serai - I go there for the food at Haig Road, and then some cloth for curtains and bedding... if u know the measurements, they can do it for u too... but I think u won’t have any problems with that in Hanoi... and then, Arab Street, which your friends have brought u out to...but there is a different side of Arab Street that u didn’t see that u may want to check it out...
Day 8 - if u r leaving sgp by now, I suggest u spend an entire day in the Changi Airport... there are several terminals and every one gives u different things... there are the usual little spots of orchid gardens in there, but u need to seek the outdoor gardens on the roof, the hawker centre in the multi storey car park, the swimming pool, the transit hotels, the gyms, the various art installations, the viewing galleries, the sky trains, the little grocery shops... we loved it...
Can’t wait to see where u take us next when u visit Singapore next time... 🌸❤️
Thanks for all the super tips! Next time I go to Singapore (whenever that is), I'll definitely check out all of those places. ^^
Your so chill! Love it I'll be watching more of your videos. 🤗
Thanks! Yeah, I'm always super laid back, which can sometimes lend to boring videos since I'm not all hyper and trying to be overly entertaining. hahaha Glad you will enjoy my videos ^^
Cory! U were in Singapore? Pls come again. There are so many many wonderful places and food to explore here.
Hi Marissa, yes, I was there for only 24 hours on a visa run.
What a wonderful place! I can't wait to go back and spend at least 3 or 4 days there to really see everything, and try all the foods!!!
24 hours and you did well showing us around. I love to go one of these days.
Thanks! There are so many places I didn't go and definitely a million foods I didn't get to try, but I'm very happy that I could spend a day with some friends and see some cool stuff. ^^

Thanks, I have chosen Singapore! I watch Feed the Corey, Mark Weins, and Mikey Chien ALL the time and they all been to Singapore.

Singapore looks good. Thanks. Please keep videoing.
24 hours is definitely not enough time in Singapore. lol Thanks for your comment! ^^
Nice video 👍 We liked Singapore so much! We can go there again and again!
Yeah, it's a really wonderful city! Only reason I chose not to look into living there was the cost of living, it's a very expensive city! Glad you enjoyed the video ^^
Great to see a new video! Singapore looked great, definitely some where for me to check out! Hope you're doing well :)
I think you'd really like Singapore! I'm doing well now, though I wasn't for a bit there, hence the lack of video uploads or social media presence. Hope you're doing good! When's the next time you're due for a Korea trip? lol Where haven't you been in Korea!?
Yeah I have missed your videos! I think I will go to Korea later next year, I'm probably visiting the Philippines in January then vegas in Feb. Hopefully I can get to Hanoi at some point too!
I'm going in November. So glad you uploaded this.
It's soooo nice there! It was a slightly similar, yet different, version of Hong Kong. Definitely a multi-cultural fusion and very modern and clean. I woudl consider living there if it weren't for the extremely high cost of living. >_
Cory, thanks so much for sharing another great video
You're welcome! Thank you for leaving a comment ^^

Hi Cory, great vlog! I often eat at Nenek Place during my visits in Singapore. The place has great and cheap food! :D
Thanks Isma! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I can't wait to go back to Singapore and eat more food!
great video and if you find it too expensive many from Malaysia and Indonesia go Camping at East Coast Park for the weekend which is fun and a great place to enjoy the beach and the weather.. however the Singapore authorities don't like people having fun sometimes and now seem to be cracking down on camping on the beaches which is such a shame as is such a great way to enjoy Singapore..

Thank you. When is your next trip to Singapore? Looks like you enjoyed the trip.
Hoping to see you visit Singapore again and visit the areas you missed.
You can eat everything at every countries you travel. That’s good
Yes, I eat almost anything! I love food. ^^
We are going in a week or so never done Singapore before on the way to Sydney, your video was an excellent taster Thank You for the share hope you had a good flight. Take Care.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy Singapore and also have more than 24 hours to experience it. hehehe Safe journeys!
Very beautiful Singapore love it there cannot live there is very good food and fresh healthy fruits cost too much to live there unless you are born there and rise there thank you for sharing Bless you.
Yeah, exactly. Thanks for commenting!
Great! You should arrange for a meet up with all of us when you are here again please. Do have a good week ahead.😊
Be sure to visit the heartlands for more good food and of course the zoo!
+Effizan Aly will do! Thanks for the suggestion ^^
The food looks amazing.
The heat in singapore is too much for me. Never stop sweating but apart from that it’s ok as a stopover to more interesting places .
Yes! It was very interesting because there was a nice cool temperature and breeze in Singapore, but the nearly 100% humidity just makes you sticky and sweaty, even if it isn't hot. Such a weird feeling! But I loved Singapore so much. If I had a good job there, I would consider living there.
Feed The Cory Well I live in Australia and we do have hot summers but it’s a dry heat so very comfortable. I’d like to live in Asia but I need a winter of sorts. Hanoi gets a cool season so that could be ok.
Yes! Me too, which is why I chose Hanoi over Saigon. I need those seasonal changes or else I go crazy. lol
Feed The Cory Yep. I understand you completely. Well it’s 10.30pm at night here so off to sleep. I look forward to more of your excellent videos!
Nice to know that you came to Singapore but why put up at Red light district?
I was looking for cheap hotels online. Many of them were in that area. I didn't know it was a red light district.
No problem, though. I didn't see any prostitutes at all. And the food around that area at the hawker stalls were really good.
CORY love your videos.... i feel like if I'm travelling with you. THANK YOU 👍
Awesome! I'm very happy that's the kind of experience you have when watching my videos. ^^
Stay tuned for more!
Come back to Singapore and try chili carb and chicken rice !!!!!
+liew yanjun Yessss chili crab was something I wanted to try but there wasn't any time
Hi Cory, that hotel is in a "red light" district.
Yeah, my friends told me that when they were dropping me off after seeing the Supertrees. It's ok though, it wasn't dirty or sketchy at all. I've lived in way worse areas before, lol
cory..please come to indonesia. You can go to yogyakarta or bali. I'm in yogya.We have good food and unique place. I've been watching all your video's and I love it. :-)
I would love to visit Indonesia!!! I have a special place in my past due to Indonesia. I used to study Pencak Silat in my early 20's. It was my first real introduction to Indonesian culture. I'd love to learn more! ^^
+Feed The Cory Wow cool...! btw,sory my bad english wkwk...
Corey, how does a visa run work? How long does the visa last for once back in Vietnam?
+Chuong Wynn Visa run just means you have to leave the country and come vack to renew the visa. Yiu can leave for a few hours if you want. The important part is that you actually physically leave the country.
For Vietnam there are several types of tourist and business visas. You can get 3 month, 6 month, or 1 year toursit visas, for single entry or multiple entry.

Hi Cory, I hope you can visit Philippines on yout next trip. I totally like your Vietnam videos. Vietnam is my second favorite country after Japan outside my home country. I also wish to visit Vietnam soon. :)
Thank you! I really want to go to the Philippines one day. I grew up with many Filipino friends so I know the culture and food very well. ^^
i do luv singapore!
U shuld try the nasi lemak lobster or any of the famous malay dishes in spore.
I will try many foods I missed next time I go to Singapore. ^^
Yikes. If you want a cheap but cheerful place to stay, try a "poshtel" like Adler Hotel in Chinatown. It's in the city center and you can walk everywhere from there (like to Marina Bay Sands, etc) versus, Aljuneid.
Thanks for the tips. ^^ Yeah, this was what I saw online that was cheap but wasn't a hostel. I hate staying at hostels, I need my own private room and shower. lol Next time I'll definitely stay in a much nicer accommodation. Poshtel sounds nice. ^^
Hi Cory, thank you for this awesome video. I am visiting Singapore next year. May I know what's the name of the hotel you"re staying? I am not picky so I guess that hotel works for me. :-)
Cheers!
It was the Oxley Blossom Hotel. There's apparently a few hotels with similar names, I guess all run by the same company.
This was in the Geylang neighborhood, closest MRT station to the hotel was Aljunied or Kallang. Both walking distance.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Cheers man!
Awesome love Singapore awesome food there
Omg miss You cory your alive lol What A beautiful Place very very Nice!!! Do more videos Please 😄😄😄💜💛💙
Yes, I'm alive. I've just been dealing with some personal things and taking time for myself. Sorry for being absent, but don't worry, things are better and I'm back to making videos! ^^
This is the Famous Red light District you are staying in. You should check out the girls here!
That's ok. I have a girlfriend, I never cheat, and also I never pay for sex. lol
It's about time...
hehehe Sorry for the delay! Was going through some personal stuff. I'm much better now and back to creating content! ^^
Beautiful place
It truly is a beautiful city and country. ^^
I ❤❤❤ SG laksa
Me too!!! Laksa in general is soooo good. hehehe
walking down memory lane...
Geylang is the red light district of Singapore.
I learned about that the night my friends dropped me off at my hotel. They told me my street was a red light area.
But it wasn't bad. I didn't see any hookers and the neighborhood is very clean.
I've seen crazy red light districts in other cities. Geylang is so nice compared to those other places. lol
First time saw your video, and i even just focus to your cute face 😅😍
hahaha really? I'm so ugly!
4:55 this is the type of indian food called "samosa"
What exactly is a visa run?
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=visa%
visa run: Stepping back then back again in a country over a short period of time (ie same day) - in order to reset/extend the period of days a non-resident can stay in a country.
J Wilson Gotcha! Thanks!
Thanks J Wilson, you helped define it perfectly. I was on a 3 month tourist visa, meaning I had to leave the country to renew the 3 month cycle. But this time I opted for a 6 month tourist visa, multiple-entry. I still have to leave every 3 months, but at least I don't have to buy a Visa On Arrival paper or go through that process until next year when I renew it again.
Ahh that's the red light district in Singapore (geylang)
Are you an English teacher in Vietnam?
Nope, thankfully I'm not an English teacher anymore. I stopped teaching back in Korea in mid-2017.
@@CoryMay81 sorry if I missed an earlier story but what do you do for work in Hanoi?
Check out my Q&A videos, I talk about that there. ^^
Nice Video!
Excellent price for Singapore, especially when you are out all day anyway, all you need is a clean place to sleep.
Oxley Blossom
Yes, exactly! A lot of people look down on the area I stayed in because it's a known "red light" district, but honestly, it was the most peaceful "red light" district I've ever seen. And the cleanest too! hehehe I didn't see a single prostitute on the streets, even at night time. It was very quiet. And there was no trash or anything. To me, it was a nice quiet area and the hotel room was definitely clean and cheap. ^^
10:10 who is flushing the giant toilet?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Clean country and for the hotel it's OK for 24 $ 😀
Singapore and Tokyo are the two cleanest cities I've ever been in.
And yeah, for $24 it had a clean room with clean bed. That's all I needed. Just a place to crash. hehe
Thanks for commenting MIMO!
Feed The Cory hhh hhh thanks for replying u are gentleman 🌸
I almost thought that you were the one speaking in Malay... 😊
+Yana Mohamed That would be quite impressive if I could speak Malay!!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Feed The Cory yes, definitely! Haha
You can not be in. Singapore for. 24.hours you got to be at lush fews day or better one week you will like the food and many other as well this is cheap this room thanks .
Penang Laksa is the best in the world.
Actually all of Penang(Malaysia) food are the best. 😘
아들 사랑해 I agree!
Not true.
I am from America and only speak English. If I visited Singapore would they be unfriendly towards me or charge me more for food and lodging? Cause Trump is president, I'm afraid to go anywhere now.Thanks! 💙
+Rei Lea No, Singapore is full of smart people who are kind and nice. Everyone speaks English and all signs are in English. Dont let Trump ruin one more thing in our lives.
Singaporeans dont care where one is from or even who your president is. We welcome anyone to visit our country as long they dont vandalise or disrespecting our country. We speak 4 different languages, not just English. There are like 50k Americans working and living in Singapore :)
Rei Lea don't go to Sim Lim Square. Half of he electronic shops there basically rip off not only foreigners but locals as well. We have a lot of shopping Malls here. Basically no bargaining there and you won't be charged extra just because you're a foreigner. The food court and coffeeshop have their pricing on their signboard. Singaporeans are generally a very reserved lot. We're grumpy most of the time. This can be seen if you take the MRT. :)
Nah, on a whole, we are actually one of the largest allies of America and once they know you are a tourist, people generally will treat you really nice. Also, food and lodging prices are mandated to be clear and visible to customers. So no worries. oh, yea, and English is the operative language that binds us as a multi-racial society.
go for airbnb next time lol
+It's Bree I usually go for AirBNB but there wasnt any cheap options. I was going for cheap as possible and I saw this hotel option on Bookings.com so I went for it. ^^
