SINGAPORE IN A DAY ON A MID-RANGE BUDGET🇸🇬
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2024
- With only one full day to explore Singapore, we wanted to experience as much as possible, so we headed to the top three cultural centers in the city. Our first stop was Arab Street, a vibrant and culturally rich neighborhood known for its distinctive Middle Eastern and Malay influences. The Sultan Mosque, traditional shophouses, trendy boutiques, and cozy cafes blew us away.
Next, we headed to Little India and strolled along Serangoon Road, taking in the fragrant spices wafting through the air and stopping by Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, a must-visit landmark. We were feeling a bit peckish at this point, so we stopped at one of the highest-rated restaurants in the area for some samosas and butter paneer before heading to a local sweet shop to try a few Indian desserts.
Afterward, we reached Chinatown, arguably the busiest of the three cultural centers, where we were captivated by the blend of tradition and modernity. After wandering around Pagoda Street, we spent a few minutes in awe of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.
Then, we came across Sri Mariamman Temple on our way to Clarke Quay, a lively riverside quay known for its vibrant nightlife and entertainment. One of our favorite buildings in Singapore is the Old Hill Street Police Station, and we took plenty of pictures near the colorful building as the sun set (check them out on our Instagram page!). 🥰
After dusk, we headed straight to the Marina Bay Sands complex to take in the futuristic architecture and daydream about staying at the stunning but costly hotel one day.
We didn't have long to admire the sites, however, because we had a very important show to catch, so we walked along the Helix Bridge, shaped like a DNA structure, and made it to Gardens by the Bay just in time to see the Supertrees come alive to the sounds of music.
When we first arrived in Singapore, we thought that exploring the best city in the world on a budget would be difficult, but with everything we did, we ended up spending $70 for both of us, which we think is pretty impressive, if we do say so ourselves! 😆

What i really like about this video is that you guys really go out to explore different cultures of singapore. It didnt feel monotonous & repititive like other vlogs where the vloggers always only go to marina bay or changi jewel
Thank you! We really tried to make it about more than just those places, though we do have a video about being in the airport, as we traveled in, so we had to see it for ourselves. But we wanted to see another side of Singapore, so I’m really happy this made you enjoy it. Thanks for your kind words and for saying hello. ☺️🫶
Singapore deserves more than just a fleeting visit. We invite you to return and delve deeper into the myriad experiences our vibrant city-state has to offer. Thank you for showcasing Singapore to the world during your stay. We hope you cherished every moment and look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable adventures. Wishing you endless enjoyment on your journey
We agree. We were sad we only had one full day to explore, but we have plans to return n the future. Singapore is an incredible country and we would love to explore more of it. ❤️🥰
We really enjoyed seeing the cultural sides of the city, although it would have been nice to explore the less touristy areas.
@@mingzmings88 So, Singapore have no REAL culture. If you are a foreigner, that's fine, with that attitude, I don't think you are welcome here. If you are a Singaporean, that would be very pathetic. You are claiming you have no REAL culture. You are very likely one of those people who like to blame everyone and everything for your own failure in life. You can always leave and go find a place with a REAL culture. Wish you all the best. 🤣
Unlike any other cities in Asia, in Singapore you can see most buildings that are unique it itself
We were blown away! So many impressive buildings.
You walked past Zam Zam opposite the Sultan Mosque. The mutton murtabak is a must try.
That sounds amazing! We'll have to try that the next time we're in Singapore. We saved it to our Google Map so we won't forget. Thanks for the recommendation! 🥰
@@mikeandashley th-cam.com/video/L34JrojAfKY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ONjrNKxctcTZT3Yd
Glad you were able to spend some time in our little Singapore. Hope you can come back soon and spend more time to explore/discover the other delights of Singapore.
Thank you so much! It definitely wasn’t enough time, but hopefully we’ll be able to return at some point and experience the full extent of Singapore!
You guys need to come to Singapore in the middle of June till August the 9th. We have fireworks every Saturday until August the 9th. It is so beautiful, you gonna love Singapore.
We would love to! That sounds beautiful. 🤩🥰
You guys are good to describe food in a way we can almost taste it or at least drool imagining.
Haha, thank you so much! We've tried getting better about explaining the foods we're eating. In our first vlogs, we just said "Mm!" and "Yum!" a whole lot, which was a bit boring, so it's good to know we're improving. 😅😆
Perfect ending at night with the lights and music.
When you get to India, I bet you will have many offers to go to a wedding. The women will take Ashley away and play dress up with her.
Thanks for watching, Richard! It's always good to see your comments, especially in a sea of less-than-positive ones. 😅
We're so excited for India and can hardly wait. 🥰
Guys,
One day in Singapore is not enough. Next visit minimum 3 days and must visit all the hawkers that Singapore is famous for and must take a walk around Orchard road and Marina Bay areas. Can't wait until you get 100K subscribers.
We agree! We wish we could have explored more, so we will have to return. Thanks for the suggestions and for watching! ☺️🙏
Wow brilliant video guys! Have just discovered your videos recently as an travelling Vietnam, Bali and Singapore for 5 weeks this April/ May. Cannot wait to hit up some of your recommendations ! Love from Ireland 😊🇮🇪
Thank you so much! Your comment made our day. Have an amazing trip, and let us know if you have any questions! 🥰❤️
There’s a great hawker centre in little India, the Tekka centre, loads of yummy Indian cheap. Next time go there. There’s hawker centres all over Singapore not just in the centre.
Thanks for the recommendation! We're definitely bummed we didn't film the hawker centers (we went to one near our hostel the night before, but we didn't film it because we were exhausted). We never imagined we would get so much criticism for eating in a restaurant (not from you, but others), but lesson learned. 😅
You guys are really cute and likeable lol. You really covered a lot on foot. Singapore is really doable on a budget. Hostels and capsule places are available, just need a bit of research online. Food is cheap and has varieties at the hawker centres. I hope you come back again and experience more on this sunny island...
Thank you so much! And yeah, we tried to explore as much as we could with the little amount of time we had. We were pretty tired at the end of the day, but it was worth it. 🙂
And yeah, we actually stayed at a capsule hostel in our first Singapore video and ate at a hawker center the night before (although we didn't film it, unfortunately).
We hope to return soon and explore more. Singapore is an incredible place! 🥰❤️
Hi Mike and Ashley your videos are so entertaining keep up the good work 👍😁
Thank you so much! Your comment made our morning. 🥰❤️
There’s a hawker centre at the Tekka Centre in Little India. No need to go to a restaurant when on a budget.
We're sad we missed it, but I (Ashley) needed a break from the heat. Next time! 🥰
Wow, that's amazing you guys did all those in one day! I can't wait to go there in March!
Haha, thanks! We were pretty exhausted by the end of the day, but we had a great time and are glad we packed in as much as we did. Have an amazing trip! Let us know if you have any questions. 🙂❤️
35:26 Oo the music they playing is actually one of many National Theme Song created for Singapore called "This Is Home". Every year there is a new song created for Singapore's National Day.
Oh, how cool! We figured it was a National Song, but didn't realize it changed every year. Thanks for letting us know! 🥰
@mikeandashley Honestly it was a shocker to me, typically they would play random song like disney music.
Edit : Each year they'll bring local artist aka Singaporean to write a song for the National Day. They will release a music video for it typically a month before National Day which falls on the second week of August. Usually the person who writes these song are famous local artist.
@@mikeandashley Out of all the dozen theme songs... "This is Home" is the most beloved and iconic to the locals.
I'm glad you were able to hear and experienced it hands on :)))
That’s amazing! Sounds like we caught it at the right time. Thanks so much for the information! ☺️
If you're on a budget go to hawker centers all over the city, you get almost the same quality restaurant food with much cheaper pricing. There are unique and best food stalls to every hawker centers found in Singapore. See you again next time.
We didn't film it because we were exhausted, but we ate at a local hawker center near our hostel the night before and it was pretty good! Thanks for watching. See you next time! 🙂
I will be visiting Singapore next week. I am so excited. I am glad I watched your videos. More travel for both of you 😊
That is so exciting! We hope you have a wonderful trip. Let us know if you have any questions! 🥰❤️
Welcome to Singapore! Glad you enjoyed your time here. Your commentary on the fines were funny 🤣
Thanks! We really did, though it was too short. Glad you liked our silliness! 😅😂
For those who are into Aviation, The Singapore Airshow 2024 is on 24/25th Feb. Check the YT video for introductions.
Oh, how cool! We wish we could be there to see it in person. Maybe next year. 🥰
Love that you went to Arab street! I always hang out there with my friends. Hope to see you back here soon!
We really enjoyed Arab St. Such a cool environment. We also hope to be able to return someday. ☺️
Thank you for this vid ! I really miss Singapore.
My parents migrated from Zurich, Switzerland to Singapore years ago and they absolutely LOVING it! They can live like a millionaires ( huge condo, 2 live-in maids, personal trainers etc ) at a fraction of a cost of middle-class living in Zurich !
That sounds like the dream! Singapore is an incredible country. We hope to return someday. 🥰
love singapore! you guys enjoy! i was there back in 2014 it’s been a minute
Thanks so much, Blinky! We had a wonderful time and would love to return. Also, thank you for the coffees! You made our morning so much better. 🥰❤️
Mr. Mike & Mrs. Ashley:Welcome to Singapore city, Singapore to tour’s Chinatown & other amazing places in this remarkable Island country in Asia February of 2024❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Singapore certainly is an incredible country! ❤️🇸🇬
I love how Ashley is so giggly & happy go lucky the whole trip😂😂 defo someone u would have fun to hang out with
.. she always drop with a smile... 😊
She is quite fun to hang out with. Take it from me. We’ve spent the last sixteen years together! 🥰🫶
She is often pretty smiley, but when she’s not… watch out! 😱
.. thk u, Mike n Ashley for coming to singapore, if u r on budget, u can always visit the hawker center than restaurants for food, there r much more cheaper n if u hit the right stall, u can get very nice food... 🍲🙂
Thanks for the tips! We intended to go to a hawker stall, but the one on our list was closed for the day. Another one in Little India was out of a lot of food items, so we just gave up and went to this restaurant! It was quite delicious, so we weren’t mad. We still stayed under our budget for the day. ☺️
welcome to SG! do note that tapwater is actually drinkable here
Thank you so much! And that's good to know for next time. 🥰
Welcome to Chinatown, Singapore last week or one week ago in January of 2024 to shows this amazing video from Asia 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys the Best always in peace 2024❤❤❤
Thank you so much! We're wishing you the same. ❤️🥰
i like the way you make videos , its pretty cool , Good job for you guys . Hope u can visit us again in Indonesia 🎉🎉🎉, u guys have to visit Komodo island Lombok and many islands
Thank you so much! We’ll definitely return to Indonesia at some point. We already miss it. ♥️🥰🇮🇩
Congratulations to you guys for heading Singapore last week to released this amazing video from East Asia in January of 2024❤❤❤Thanks you guys for this remarkable video in joy 2024❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! We're happy you're here. 🥰
Safe travels and enjoyable experiences on your journey. 😄😄
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
Over 100 hawker centers have over 15,000 nationwide stalls and some 24 hours. Singapore is NOT a cheap city, but it caters to every budget. One can buy a decent meal for S$3 and well over $1000. One can easily find a very affordable meal any time of the day. I hope you will visit again!
Yea! We just had to fit all we could into the one day. We weren’t even originally planning a trip to Singapore yet, but it made more sense than flying straight to our next location.
We’re happy we stopped by, but sad we didn’t get to experience it fully. We’ll return for sure.
Singapore looks great! It will be on my whishlist 😉
It's a really incredible country! We wish we had longer to explore, but we'll definitely return at some point. 🥰❤️
Exploring Singapore is very fun, trying some food. very enjoyable. a journey that entertains me. it's like I'm in it. Thank you, I can also find out about Singapore and some interesting places here.
Thank you for watching! We're so happy you enjoyed the video and could show you parts of Singapore that we loved exploring. 🥰
23:35 second level of the Chinatown Complex, is the biggest hawker centre in Singapore with over 200 stalls. You just missed your budget meals. There are some stalls in there open for dinner. You were right. The basement has a wet market selling fresh produce. It gets very crowded in the mornings and especially over the weekend. At the basement level of the Buddha Tooth Relic temple, is an air-conditioned vegetarian food court although I'm not too sure what time close.
There's Tekka Market/hawker centre at Little India.
Ah man. It’s such a bummer we missed those things. By the time we got to China town we were still so full.
Next time, we’ll do the budget meals part right!
Ashley always exited for food .. and then explain anything from the first bite 😊😂
I do love food! 🤣❤️
Literally laughed at the part about the fine on altercations being cheaper than feeding pigeons😂
Haha, we're glad we could make you laugh! 🤣
There's a hawker centre in little India at the tekka centre. Both tourist and locals love to go there for their indian food.
We're sad we missed it. Next time though! Thank you for the recommendation. 🥰
welcome to singapore
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
happy travel,i wish that u would comeback againt to indonesia next time....
Thank you so much! We'll be back soon. 🥰
3:42 FYI : Aqua is Indonesian mountain spring water product super cheap in Indonesia, i notice it quite expensive in Singapore. Well you can just get tap water in Singapore if you want water, their tap water are super clean, unlike Indonesian tap water.
Yeah, we were missing Indonesia and got so excited to see Aqua at 7-Eleven, haha.😆
We should have realized the water in Singapore is potable, but we didn't mind getting a little taste of Indonesia, even if it was expensive. 😅
Nice👍
Thank you! 😊
You both have beautiful positive energies. Contact the tourism board or some brands to sponsor your next trip to singapore. Eg, tiger balm toiletries brands u use while traveling, luggage brands, Singapore airlines, etc. U get the drift. Beautiful videos. Lots more great places in Singapore. BTW, the Buddha Tooth Relic temple is arguably the world's most expensive and opulent fully ac temple, costing over $100m. It's foundation and many structures are reinforced with blessed gold and precious gems. See you guys soon. Many blessings. Sayo. 🙏😇👌🎉💕
Aw, thank you so much! That’s actually a really great idea! We never have the confidence that the tourism boards will want to work with smaller channels like ours, but perhaps it’s worth a try!
Thank you for the insight and information, we really appreciate it! 🥰☺️🙏
You just missed @ 23' The Chinatown Complex, the 200 stalls Hawker Center on the 1st floor (2nd Storey)... the cheap food.
Saving this to our Google Maps for next time. Thanks for the recommendation! ❤️
Go to the super mart, you can get the 1.5liter bottle of water below US$0.5
We discovered this afterwards… a mistake we’ll never make again!

Thanks! 😊
my second home. ❤
What a lovely place to call home!
19:20 there was a history why the sign was put up. In 2013 an intoxicated migrant worker was accidentally ran over by a bus. Because of the incident a riot took place. You can wikipedia ‘Little India riot’.
Oh, wow. We had no idea, but that makes a lot of sense now. How tragic. 😢
If you’re coming back to SG, check out the non-touristy places like beyond city area. Just take the MRT to the north, west, east and check out our public housing and local malls, and public spaces. 😊
We would LOVE to. We really wish we had longer, but we'll be back at some point to explore the more local side of Singapore. 🥰
Theres tekka hawker centre nearby where d food is cheaper than 7-11. Its authentic though so spicy esp southern Indian food. Northern indian is tomato based n may suit u better. Pigeons carry diseases.
We're sad we missed the Tekka Food Centre, but I (Ashley) needed to get out of the heat for a while, so an Indian restaurant with A/C was a welcome reprieve. We visited another hawker center the night we arrived, but we didn't film it because we were exhausted.
And spice is no problem for us. We LOVE spicy foods! We're going to India soon and can't wait for all of the spices and rich flavors. 🥰 🤗
4:12 Bro, how does it feel after drinking Aqua? Give you flashbacks when you're in Indonesia? LOL.
Haha, yes! We miss Indonesia so much! 😭❤️
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
Mr. Mike & Mrs. Ashley:I am hoping more new videos coming up soon from Southeast Asia in February of 2024❤❤❤I am hoping you guys are planning to visits Manila, Philippines; Bangkok, Thailand; Jakarta, Indonesia in Southeast Asia February of 2024❤❤❤
We have videos from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, if you want to watch them. 🥰 The Philippines is on our bucket list, and there are still so many places we want to explore in Southeast Asia. ❤️❤️❤️
i am ethiopian i would like to com singapore for future
It's such a fun country/city to explore! We hope you're able to visit one day. 🥰
The reason why we are not supposed to feed pigeons in singapore is bcs once u feed them, they will all crowd in one spot & them start pooping everywhere. It will cost money for cleaners to clean the floor everyday
I suppose that makes a good bit of sense. Just such a hefty fine! 😱
Do they sell tea leaves? It was hard to find in India, and I guess impossible in Singapore.
We did not see tea leaves for sale or else Ashley would have been all over them. We did however see some in Melaka, Malaysia, at the Jonker Street Walk.
Well guys, I’m sorry I could not join you in Pulau Ubin. Pulau Ubin is probably the nature-ly most important place in all the world when it comes to being in Singapore. So I always found interest in it!! 😁😁
Bring cash, that 1960's Singapore.
Pulau Ubin looks beautiful! Hopefully we'll be able to make it there the next time we're in Singapore. ❤️
protip - Singapore on a budget = Hawker centres... Thats the rule. And theyre everywhere
Is a shame you didnt go to hawker center. Is the NUMBER 1 thing in Sg.
We agree! We were quite bummed that the one we were trying to go to was closed down for the day.
We walked by another one in little India, but they were out of a lot of items, as it must have been very popular.
There’s always next time! 🙏
23:13 building behind...2nd floor lots of hawker food
We're so sad we missed it! 😭
@@mikeandashley come back come back 😂
We would love to! 🥰
Go to the buffalo street hawker center, plenty of cheap authentic India food there for those on budget….😂
We’re sorry to have missed it! We’ll be there next time. 👌
Do they ask for hotel booking if we are in Singapore just for 1 day or less ?
Nobody asked us about a hotel booking, so you should be fine. 🙂
18:00 "Do not even THINK about feeding the pigeons!" 18:51 "See? If you didn't feed a pigeon, you could beat up TWO of your enemies! So... don't feed the pigeons. Get your enemies to feed the pigeons! Then rat him out to the authorities!!!"
😂😂
wow the chai tea is so expensive what a tourist trap.
We thought it was pricey, too, but we knew we were in a touristy area so we expected it. It looks like the place has closed temporarily, which is a bit sad. 😢
Next time you come, i invite you to my humble home and have true Singaporean dishes. By the way, if u are truly looking for budget food, look for a hawker centre.. you can choose various foods of different cultures that are cheap and taste superbly nice. Famous hawker centre near the town area which you walk are Maxwell Road Hawker Centre, slightly cheaper and affordable. Although Singapore is quite expensive but manageable. Wish you all the best through your journey.. 😁🤝
That is such a kind offer; thank you! 😊
@mikeandashley your welcome buddy.. 😁🙏
🥰🥰
That bottled water is expensive because it is in a touristy area.
That makes sense. ☺️

The fine for feeding pigeons are for recalcitrants repeatedly showing up in court for the same offence or in short, serial feeders.
Ah, that makes sense. Are serial feeders a problem there? 😅

You guys on a tight budget but eat in a airconditioning restaurant and drinking chai in a bottle?
When in little India, tekka food centre is the place for local price food paradise
We spent $70 exploring the major sites in one of the most expensive countries in SE Asia, all in one day. We thought that was pretty impressive, and it's been a bit disheartening seeing all the comments criticizing us for our budget and perceived lack of research. Everyone's budget is subjective. 🤷♀️🤷🏻♂️
If we ever return to Singapore, we'll be sure to visit Tekka Food Centre and the other hawker centers. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@mikeandashley ping me uf you are back..am happy to show you the other side of Singapore... I am a fellow world traveller but on a motorcycle 😃
Of course! We appreciate the offer.
@@mikeandashley No worries man, some of us are pretty direct, especially since we're typing behind a screen, you know. I believe all content creators encounter criticism of some sort, you'll get accustomed to it. If you think the feedback provides value, then take it and ignore the negatives emotions it's tagged to. If it's unconstructive feedback, then just scroll right past it. I'm sure you did some research. Sometimes, the surprise element dwindles if too much research is being done anyways.
The chai tea tasted good to you right? Then that's all that matters :)
1) never buy water from 7 eleven. Its expensive. Local only buy from supermarker or local shops
2) u r wrong. Almost all hawker r open 6am to late night. There r food court all around as well. Amercian invented google map. U just need to key in hawker or food court on ur goodle map there will be alot of them around. Govt plan to make sure all are walking distance.
We learned that for sure! 😂 And strange… when we looked up one of the ones we found online that we wanted to go to, it said all of the stalls closed down. It was a weekend, so maybe that made a difference?
We read something online that mentioned they were for the business people in the central business district area and that was why.
Oh well, now we know for next time!
2) Correction. Most hawker centres actually only serve till lunch. Handful of them open for night/dinner business.
It depends which hawker centres. Some open for dinner crowd only.@@mikeandashley
That’s good to know! Thank you! We have heard many things about the hawker centers and just weren’t lucky I guess! So much ground to cover in such a little time!
Careful with drones. You need a permit to fly them.
Singapore is surprisingly lax about drones, as long as you fly them below 200 ft. I was quite surprised!
Nice and cool place to visit .. but too many “artificial” places .. less naturally …
Everything is artificial after man moved out of caves.
We typically prefer the more local areas of the places we visit, but it was fun to be a typical tourist for a day since we had such a short time in Singapore. If we ever return, we'll definitely explore some of the lesser-known areas. Where do you recommend? 🙂
@@mikeandashley I Think China have more lesser known places 😃
I bet! We’d love to visit China one day!
Feeding pigeons will grow their population and become a bigger pest problem. Their droppings can cause health hazards. Costing tax payers money to clean up and both droppings and food litters . Have seen resident scattering rice grains and leaving a mess, the cleaners have to spend more time cleaning it up. Their droppings are acidic, they can damage building materials.
That makes sense! We understand they can be a nuisance and a health hazard. Our friend is absolutely terrified of them, which we think is a bit funny. 😆
We actually have incidents of people being "attacked" by pigeons. They can "recognise" or remember people, perhaps the way that person is dressed. @@mikeandashley
That sounds terrifying! 😅😂
so painful to see u eat butter chicken (north Indian) when u are in little India Singapore which is generally South Indian
What would you recommend instead?
If you are going to explore Singapore on a budget, more research should have been done. Going to a restaurant in Little India and have to budget when just a short walk away is the Tekka Market where you will realise that Singapore is not that expensive. To actually contemplate having Chilli Crab while on a budget? The whole video is about we can’t afford this we can’t afford that. With a little more research, you guys will realise Singapore is not just for rich tourists.
We typically do a lot of research in preparation for our videos, but we were short on time and did the best with what we could. Thanks for your feedback.
@mikeandashley I think you guys did pretty fine. LFC_SG made two mistakes as a disgraceful Singaporean. One, his comment was plain rude, and two he failed to truly internalise the fact that you are on a budget and travelling (which entails some level of uncertainty, otherwise it wouldn't be a true travel experience anymore). You guys really did fine. Thanks for visiting!
Thank you for your kind words! We put so much effort into filming and editing our videos, so it is a bit disheartening to see judgmental comments. We typically do more research, but we were short on time, and it shows in this video, unfortunately. Anyway, thanks again for your kind comment; it really means a lot to us. ❤️🥰
@roadpillocks3710 While it is true that travelling entails some level of uncertainty, these are 2 content creators who are putting out videos to inform their viewers. I am not dissing them as travellers but as content creators. I don't mean to come across as rude but at least put some effort in if you are going to project an image of my country. There are many videos out there by budget travellers showing how to explore the expensive city with their various hacks.
@@mikeandashleyas content creators you should accept that not all negative comments are judgemental, some are constructive.
Singapore is a "city" of fines. But i guess it's the way the gov puts their citizens in behave 😁
We noticed! 😅 It seems to work, though. Singapore is unlike anywhere we've ever been before.
you guys.... hawkers are definitely not located only in downtown... and definitely do not only operate in the mornings... if u stopped to think... how could that even be 😢😢😢
of all the restaurants in little India, u picked the most Morden and hip and shocked by prices, of all the tea shops in Arab quarter, u picked the most modern and 'trendy'
research isn't necessary when travelling, but in this case maybe so... as u keep whining about prices and affordability...
also in the jewel, they literally have a whole floor of cheap eats in the basement... in addition to a giant food court... sigh
Thanks for your feedback.
You beautiful young couples should visit Taiwan.
We would love to! It's on our bucket list. 🥰
