- Our first impressions of Singapore! 🇸🇬 Discovering Singapore's Surprising Charms! Join us on our journey through this diverse city as we uncover the unexpected beauty beyond the iconic architecture and financial hubs. From the enchanting streets of Kampong Glam's Arab Street, where we immersed ourselves in the rich culture of Singapore's Muslim quarter with the awe-inspiring Sultan Mosque and the trendy Haji Lane.
Later, we tried to go see the Merlion but unfortunately, the statue is closed so we had to make do with the little version, the Merlion cub... Then, we ventured to Marina Bay, captivated by the breathtaking Marina Bay Sands building and the city's impressive skyline. Dive into the experience with us as we share our first impressions, from window shopping at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands to witnessing the mesmerizing light show at the fountains.
Singapore's surprises await! Stick with us in this Singapore travel vlog to have some fund on our first day in one of the most expensive countries in the world 🇸🇬 We love Singapore and we had a blast in our first day there since there are so many things to do! Stick with us as we will go to some authentic hawkers to try some amazing Singaporean food, visit Chinatown and Little India, Gardens by the Bay, Changi Airport and so much more. Singapore weather is unpredictable but thankfully, the rain is for a short time only. Let's explore real Singapore tourist!

Singapore is country #5 for our travels so far! We're excited to explore this amazing city and see what it has to offer 🇸🇬 What neighborhood do you prefer - Arab Street or Marina Bay?
Both!🤓🤓🤓

Welcome to Singapore
@@darkdk20yishun lol. Hahahaha. Singaporeans joke
Come to toa payoh and other areas. Like clubhouse . Sports
The main merlion sculpture itself is an artwork. Need some aesthetic repair every few years as it's constantly exposed to the weather otherwise it will degrade itself.
Fun fact: Marina Bay Sands sits on fresh water. It is separated from sea water by the Marina Barrage. The fresh water reservoir serves as a storage area for drinking water before they are treated. The planning took decades before it came into fruition.
Dude did his research before visiting. Awesome bro!
Research before visiting = Me liking the video
Thank you! We had to be ready, can't just go to Singapore and wing it!
@@ChangingLocationsand this video is helping….trip in 2 weeks 😬
SG has a habit of regularly maintaining its buildings and facilities. The Merlion was scheduled for maintenance. Bear in mind it hasn't been serviced for more than 5 years. Our wet markets have to be shut down for 2 to 3 days for cleaning and maintenance every year!
It's a very well maintained country so makes total sense
Marina Bay Sands Hotel and the lotus shaped Arts & Science museum was designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie. He also designed the iconic housing building with a garden in the sky called the Sky Habitat. You can go up to this sky garden...free...and see the city of singapore from a high vantage point.
I like his pretty accurate cultural knowledge of Singapore. He has done his research. By the way official language of chinese is mandarin. This is because Chinese includes other Chinese dialects like Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, etc. Singapore does not officially recognise these dialects as the only official written Chinese language is Mandarin (although Cantonese does have a written form). Again there is a reason why singapore chose Mandarin and not the other Chinese dialects.
The small Merlion is the original Merlion, the OG of OG
Glad you enjoyed our city! It’s quite refreshing to see a different perspective ❤
Our pleasure 🙂 Singapore is awesome, it's easy and fun to visit!
Such a genuine and beautiful couple! Theirs positive and happy aura is such a joy to take in. Keep up the good work guys! Welcome to Singapore and stay this way always! ❤️
And the Merlion is under repair to give everyone a better experience once it’s finished. So do come back again! 👌🏻
Thank you so much ❤️ we loved it in Singapore and will definitely be back to visit again. Hopefully the Merlion will be recovered whenever we go back
@@ChangingLocations I hope so too🤣. It has been ages since I visited the Merlion up close and I too am looking forward to the new spruced up Merlion!
Stay safe always, stay happy always and remember Singapore welcomes you both always.👌🏻
@@ChangingLocationsMerlion is up and ready for you. It's ready during mid December
They do regular maintenance for the Merlion.
Welcome to SG. Great video and personalities. Hope your channel grow.
Hope you did the light show in Gardens By the Bay

Notably one of the most researched video you could encounter here in YT kudos ❤

One of many travel vlog i enjoyed watching...this one i can give 5 stars❤
Merlion is under maintenance. To keep everything nice clean working, we do maintain it. We try not to look at profits etc as many does then lack maintaining. Welcome to my country Singapore
Aaaw sorry you missed the big Merlion. But fun fact, the small merlion actually was the 1st merlion put up long ago, even before everything you see in the area was put up
We didn't know that! So that means we got to see it after all 😅
New Yorkers liking Singapore this much? It's the highest compliment one can receive.
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬
You’re too kind about our city-state.
welcome to Singapore. Enjoy your stay here.
Moshe Safdie the architect of Marina Bay Sands and The Jewel Changi Airport. The Merlion had some cracked so they restored it back and it's already open yesterday 09/12. It's the most beautiful city to me at night especially the waterfront.
We did this on purpose! We wanted to welcome you guys back to Singapore and have look at the newly repaired Merlion (15/12)stay cool, stay safe!
I knew it! Now we just have to go back and visit again 😅
😅😅😂😂
Love your happy smile thru out your video Sima
Here's an interesting fact: the black portion of the structures, just below the golden domes of Sultan Mosque, are actually glass bottles donated to the mosque for its construction.
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬!
Really fun vlogs..subscribed..😇
Thank you!! Welcome to our channel 🙌
Great video, I love how Simas is so nerdy about Asia and giving us all those cool facts.
Same thing happened to me when I went to London - the Big Ben was all covered up for renovation and I couldn't see nothin' 🤷🏻 Love the video nonetheless cos both of u give our good vibes 👍🏻
Oh no! So you can totally feel our pain with the Merlion 😅 hope you got to visit London again and see the Big Ben
Great video, glad you love Singapore. Looking forward to seeing how many dishes you try...I go there every year and it's never enough!
Just for infor. Sg has 4 official languages. English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. Most singaporeans can speak English. Malay is spoken by the Malays, Mandarin is spoken by the Chineses and Tamil is spoken by the Indians. Being a multicultural country, most people can speak more than one official languages. Malay, Chinese, Indian and Others are the races in Sg.
Welcome to our Sunny island! U guys are so sweet. Enjoy your holidays here.
Welcome to Singapore! Hope you see you again soon!

Welcome to Singapore!🤗🤩
Good video, Thank you for posting.
All the best for your small and big success in your future.
The Merlion is as exotic as its description ,half lion half mermaid😊
I’m a Singaporean living in California and am very impressed with your research and knowledge about my homeland. Most Americans only know Singapore from the pics of the airport and MBS. You guys are making me look forward to my next visit back home! I hope you guys are headed to Malaysia or Bali next. Stay safe. FYI, I hate durian 😂
Thank you! We made sure to prepare before going to Singapore, it's so much more than the main attractions people go there for. Thanks for tuning in ❤️
It’s mean you have to come Singapore again next time 😂 Singapore food will make you come back again
Thank you for coming our small country ,there more😊😊
Well made video and you have mics too. Can hear you clearly!

You guys are so awsome. Welcome to my city
🔥🔥🔥
You need to try our hawkers (street food) food!! You will not want to leave!!
We did, and did it with a twist in our subsequent video 😁
Welcome ❤
Subscriibed. Greeting from Singapore
The Merlion will undergo some maintenance like deep cleaning every couple of years. Hope you have had fun in Singapore. Take care!
Come again to Arab Street at night - different vibes.
Some Muslims did resist the setting up of bars serving alcohol in that area but in Sg, such resistance is futile - it's all about the money.
Garden by the bay is just behind mbs. The lighting show is even better than the one at mbs. Timing quite near to the one at mbs but there are two timing for both shows at mbs and garden by the bay. I will just go for the lighting show, walk around the garden. As for those expensive entrance in the garden, can give it a miss.
The merlion is having me time. 😆
Welcome to Singapore :)
beautiful couple❤
Singapora very clean country nnice plave
Singapore is called Lion City /Garden City or Little Red Dot.
Hope you enjoy our little island😊
Umm yes I will be going!
Now it's open
Another interesting bit of information for you. When you look at the people around you in Singapore, 1 out of 3 person you meet is a foreigner.
Population of 5.9m.
Citizens 60%
Permanent Resident 10%
Foreigner 30%
😊
Sentosa had a Merlion. I think they took it down. There's Merlion at ang mo kio.
Are u guys still in town? The merlion maintenance is done and it open again.
We unfortunately are not, but will have to come back again to see the Merlion for sure. More videos to come though!
Safety over loaded 🎉
Merlion is having medical check Healthier SG. Do come back again. Welcome both of you
the merlion fell sick from covid we just fixing it up real quick come back in 5 business days
Welcome to Singapore. Please feel free to ask me anything about Singapore
But Singapore is blessed to be kicked out and now is more properous and happier and better nation.
They very likely closed the Merlion to clean and upkeep it. Being a tropical country, algae happens. ^^ You’ll want a white Merlion and not a green one. Lol
You should shake hands with architect Moshe Safdie.
Did you just fly a drone over MBS?
probably stock footage
The Merlion is under maintenance. Go to Sentosa u will get to see the giant version of merlion
Uncle are you still living in a cave? There is no more giant Merlion in Sentosa!😂😂😂
🤣🤣
@@BoOmMaGuOpEeP who stole it? 🤣
cracks in the half lion, half fish
The big Merlion is under renovation.
Tamil , Tamil Nadu ... Chennai
Nothing happened to the Merlion, just the usual maintenance. Singapore wanna make sure everything is in beautiful and in tip top condition. 😊
If you wanna see an impressive merlion, you have to go to Sentosa
The Merlion at Sentosa was sadly demolished in 2020
@@violetears thats a real shame 🥲 it was beautiful while it lasted
Yes. We merged with Malaysia in 1963. But due to differences of Mr. Lee and the Tunku. Then the tunku asked and forced Singapore to leave.
Number of ships anchored here
Haha it under maintenance 😊
❤
Regular maintenance
Merlion was under repair
Nothing happen to it. It's just their routine checks and repairs. The repair took about 1 month +. So alot of tourist can't see it
The poor Merlion is hardworking, she has to puke everyday to keep visitors happy, she needs to take a break😂😂😊
@@JO-og5tp 😛😂😂😂
Not sure about the tail….. may be a he-she😜
All human made country cost living in this temporary world must be analyzed first before jump in to that human made country
Try visiting the poor and marginalized
