Hey Brett, I’m surprised you didn’t get the SG tourist pass at the Airport, it allows you to travel complete bus & train (MRT) network for $10SGD for one day, $16SGD for two days & $20SGD for 3 days. Singapore is so easy to get around on the MRT, you get trains every 8 mins or so . The only reason I could see catching a grab ride share taxi is if you are staying out beyond 11:30pm when trains will be on their final trip of the night or if you are going to some far out corner of the island. I caught the train back to the Airport & you get a small amount back when you return the tourist pass.
Shinji Bu no he cant the light show is supposed to face the floating platform and he wasn’t there he was opposite of that and if it was done every day light shows cant be big cause of light pollution he just didn’t do his research properly before going
"Singapore is so expensive." *Proceeds to hangout in Marina Bay Sands, Raffles Place, City Hall and Sentosa* - the most expensive places in Singapore -.-
I was thinking the same thing. 7/11 here in Florida is super expensive like all other "convenience" stores. Plus the food is prepackaged and unhealthy.
I dont like how foreigners always think Singapore is so expensive when truly it isn't. All of these business report of "worlds most expensive city" is really meant for wealthy expats. If u enter the city anticipating it to be expensive it will feel expensive Cheap goods are everywhere u just need to look in the right places and stray away from the touristy areas. My gorilla pod is from Sim Lim Square tech mall, 4$, been using it for 5 years, food is definately cheaper than most cities with hawker centres and taxis are far cheaper than other cities. Nice vid though.
Faiz Basha The expensive things are good coffee, Alcohol & Hotels. Especially more so since Covid-19 has caused a lot of currencies to fall. The SGD hasn’t really suffered.
I would have to say if you compare the food to other countries it definitely is not as expensive. But they consider in the factor of our wages here, as well as rent, houses, cars, and of course the taxes and more. If you do consider our wages in terms of what we have to pay. It definitely is expensive.

taxes are extremely low... first $20k = $0 income tax and an average salaried man making $30-50k a year pays $100-300 (for the whole year). GST is 7% and common folks get annual GST vouchers of several hundreds to offset this. The people who will feel it to be expensive are people who want luxury items... ordinary living is extremely low cost, almost ridiculously cheap.

The police are not constantly monitoring your every single move. It’s more for if a crime happen, it’s easier to solve it with the cameras and also to deter crimes. Maybe go outside of the typical tourist spot and you can find different cultures. I mean we are a multiracial country.
I'm an expatriate in Singapore from 🇮🇹🇮🇹. It's a really expensive country but it's so worth it. We are so advanced and changi airport has been crowned most luxurious airport several years in a row. In terms of the gum rule that is a rumor. It is completely legal to chew gum but illegal to sell it or spit it on the street. In terms of bubble tea, a place I would recommend is LiHO. It's very affordable and I would recommend it. Places to stay without a budget would be air bnbs. Once you come with no budget (I know you want to come back), you should try Din Tai fung. I'm pretty sure they have one in nyc but in my opinion here in sg it's better.

I was in Singapore for Thanksgiving 2019. It is an amazing city the people are beautiful inside and out I had a blast. I ate at the hawker centers. Everything is clean the airport is the most beautiful airport I’ve ever been to. I work at Newark liberty and it’s nothing like any metropolitan airports in our area. I can’t wait for this pandemic to be over with. I’m flying back out to Singapore.❤️
Woah the clips with the locals are so raw. Sometimes people make things too cinematic when it’s actually better to just hold the camera and live more in the moment
Singapore is literally a glimpse of what our future would look like, singapore’s structure and city is around 25 years ahead of us and greater, this is where we get our futuristic blueprints, pictures and visions of what the city’s in the usa would look like by 2050 as an example. if you ever wondered what the future would look like it would be singapore’s city
I don’t know why everyone says Singapore is so expensive, I live here and it’s only expensive if you look in the obvious places if you go to places like Hawker centres and away from the main tourist areas you can find really fun stuff to do really cheaply, However obviously if you go to gardens by the bay and Marina Bay Sands everything is going to be very expensive.
housing and cars make up the bulk of the living cost in Singapore. If you don't have a car, of course it'll be relatively cheap as food is cheap and taxes are not as heavy here.
Live here since 18 years. Rooms can be pricy, but most of the other things you can do on a budget. Transport is good and cheap:taxis, bus, mrt. Better then in the US or Europe. Food the same, lots of the sightseeing is free, some museums are free. There is a lot of things you can do for 100 bucks. Just maybe 2 things: 1) coffee is dirt cheap here. Nobody drinks those fancy designer coffees if you on a budget. You can get coffee, good coffee...for a dollar at stalls and places such as Toast Box. As you would in most large asian cities btw. 2) I’m a photographer and you definitely can get much cheaper accessories for your camera. But of course not in the shiny shops in the middle of the city or tourist areas. Yes, Singapore can be expensive too, but the cool thing is thete are often essential options foe various price levels. That goes for food, transport and housing. As a traveller on a budget though, you propably can enjoy more things in other parts of south east asia.
Hello bro I was studying in Singapore for two years.The first year was so expensive. Second year was lot cheaper because I started to know the location and palaces for less expensive shop and etc . If ur going to go for Singapore u need to have local or a student who is studying there for morthan one year . They know the good place for cheaper Singapore life
I don't think it is the best time to visit Singapore now. We are conducting a "circuit Breaker" movement. Stay at home for now for any visitors wishing to go to Singapore too.
$3 for a bubble tea. $8 in Australia. $18 for the cheapest hostel. $35 in Australia. $5 for a large meal is unheard of in Australia. Come to Melbourne on $100 and you’ll be sleeping in a lane way 😂😂
i lived in Singapore for 6 years before moving to Milan , Italy and i can def say its a dream place to live and light show usually starts at 8 pm till 9 pm and they never miss :)

Really enjoying watching your uploads during 'lockdown'. I wouldn't say they're scratching my (constantly) itching feet, but they're definitely feeding my mind.
I would have gladly taken you around Singapore too! We are also a nation crazy on sales promotions where you get stuff at lowered prices and there’s online apps for that too! You can get MRT tourist card at the MRT customer service counter. We have other islands apart from Pulau Belakang Mati like Pulau Ubin, Lazarus, Chek Java etc etc .. I hope the $8 bubble tea was worth it coz as a Singaporean, I won’t buy that even for the photo novelty. Oh yes, alcohol, tobacco and car prices here are very expensive due to high taxes imposed by the Government. Hope you have had enjoyed your stay and come back! 🙂
Not really, depends on the person, I usually spend abt 100-200 when I hang out with my friend, and like we hang out every week at least once, on my birthday I spent like 400+ hanging out with her. I'm 16, I'm not rich or anything but for some reason I always manage to spend so much and get so much
That's a great video! . I hope one day you can do vlogs for $100 in the south of Vietnam. it's a lot of interesting things to discover, especially about the food, so cheap, so delicious, it will be very different from the northern vietnam that you showed last time.
As a singaporean, I can proudly say that I can spend $300 on a mini shopping spree and not say anything, but if I get something for GREAT value at daiso,, IMA BRAG ABOUT IT THE WHOLE YEAR Cuz that’s how ya Singaporean’s are haha

Yup i agree. Singapore is a very expensive country.. Unlike Malaysia and Thailand where you will feel much relaxed here on spending money coz everything are all so very cheap.
Great video! But its far from the most expensive. Singapore has tons of cheap options. Go to Oslo, Norway, and then you'll truly experience the worlds most expensive country. 100$ in Norway will probably get you lunch and two drinks at the bar.
I backpacked Singapore and could get by at the cheapest hostel for like 15 a night and went from there. Did all the touristy attractions and celebrated Singapore's 50th birthday at one of the screening events :))
Hello! When I see that you have 140bucks for 48 hours, I was like oh man he gonna have a good time with good food! Actually it’s not that expensive for food and drinks, you just have to go to the right places. Coming from a local, you will have a lot of yummy food and drinks in heartlands, avoid touristy places and you can make your money worth in SG. Come back again but get more info from the locals first:) to foreign friends here, we are not a copied version of Switzerland, we are nothing close. Singapore has its own flavour, just like NYC, a mixture of culture and people from different backgrounds. What we have is SG people can survive anywhere because we eat and love food from different culture, we are understanding and sensitive towards different cultures. And that is why my friends, why people like SG, they can find a piece of home here.

What about trying this challenge in Switzerland? I live here and well, some parts of the most expensive City called Zurich will be really difficult to stay 2 nights in a hostel room and buying some good/cheap foods. Do you take this challenge? 😎
I'll take it. City Backpacker Biber for 30 CHF a night. For breakfast, probably something from Ässbar or something light for like 8 CHF. First day I'll just explore the city -- lake Zürich, free museums, Grössmünster and Fraumünster. The library. For a quick lunch since I'll be walking around I'll just get something to go from Migros. Maybe the set meal as it's more filling. That's about 12 CHF. For dinner I'll go to Louis Takeaway because I absolutely love the burger there. 20 CHF or less for a great burger, fries and a drink. Even cheaper if I have a student pass. For the nightlife, I'll get some alcohol and drink by the lake or just roam the streets. I'll maybe buy a drink at a bar if I feel like it. The next day I'll buy the 9 o clock pass or day ticket for ~15 CHF. Grab something light from Migros. Emi Latte and Knusperbröt and a bar of Swiss chocolate. Probably < 10 CHF. Picnic at the top of Ütliberg. For lunch I'll take the ship ride in my Tageskarte to Rapperswil and have lunch there. Maybe a pizza from Dieci while I admire the river view. Probably 20 CHF for a whole pizza funghi. I'll explore awhile and head back to Zürich for dinner. Takeaway from Burgermeister. Or if I'm not planning to spend on nightlife, probably I can splurge and go to Swiss Chüchi or Zughauskeller for a traditional Swiss dinner. The veal meat in mushroom sauce, Zürich art. All in all less than 100 CHF a day. :p Experienced Asian (skimping tendencies) whom lived in Switzerland for 6 months heh heh.
@@KangZiJing lived in Switzerland 6 months is key. I can do London very cheaply because I know it very well, but when you first arrive in a new city no guidebook replaces months or years of local knowledge.
@@roryhanlon927 "lived in Switzerland 6 months is key" Not really. Note how I said I lived in Switzerland and not Zurich. I stayed in a town near Zurich and only went to Zurich a few times. The only "thrifty wisdom" attained was understanding how the transport system work. The real key comes with having Internet. Prepare for your trip by finding out how public transport works, where to get good food, where to get cheap food, etc.
I traveled to Singapore and had an Amazing time. My hotel was on Orchard Street near all the Shopping and fine dinning. We had some of the best food and visited some of the most gorgeous beaches. You definitely need to revisit with a bit more cash in hand. However, you did get to meet some nice people and have an experience most people will never get in their life time. PS. Great video!
LA is the biggest airport in the world and the place is a maze. Without help if you have never been there before you will get hopelessly lost. I was lucky and found a really helpful gentlemen who pointed me in the right directions.
You missed so many cheap things! I went in October and the light show was twice a night. The maxwell hawker center is great you should of gone when it was busier because more shops are open. You could also gone to little India. The massive botanic gardens are free but the orchid garden was only $3
Wow ! Was so surprised to hear Mas (guest/friend) say Singapore's #1 at everything including...and she rattles off a few random things.... THEN and at "Controlling the Virus" 👀 🧠💥👀🧠💥🙈🙉🙊🎎
It's really cheap in Singapore. If u think it's TRUE, try to come to Switzerland, Liechtenstein. For me Singapore it's one of the most cheap places for shopping and eat well.

Singapore was put as the most expensive country in thr world because the study included the cost of a car as a necessity, shooting us right to the top. In SG, most people actually take public transport. Cost of living is actually on par with many other major cities in the world or even cheaper.
I love Singapore, it's my closest world city. Also it's not so expensive as people think if you know where to go and shop for groceries where the locals shop. For the traveler Food in Singapore (best on Earth) is cheap by Australian standards and accommodation is on par with Australia's state capitals. Transport is also pretty similar to Brisbane though less expensive than Sydney or Melbourne. There are many hidden costs built into the social fabric such as government housing that removes a significant slice of your income but is a way of imposing forced financial security upon retirement. Private housing on landed property or in private developments is only for the top tier of the population. And forget about owning a private car unless you have spare money to burn or throw away or a really massive ego. Public transport covers most places, is frequent, efficient, clean & safe. Personally my pic for worlds most expensive city would be San Francisco by far. I love SFO but housing is ridiculously expensive for what you get and mind where you walk in some public areas because human excrement and drug paraphernalia can be stepped on or in.
@@jasontempest4233 Thanks for your reply. I wish to explain more about Singapore but it's best whoever that comes to Singapore, they will know it's not the MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTRY in the world. Takes too long to explain about it. So I will just leave it as it is.
You should have just take the MRT to Outram park station and go to Gurudwara in Outram line parks . They give free breakfast , lunch and snacks and dinner everyday. and its close to almost entire Singapore.
SG can actually be a pretty affordable place to visit if you limit your food to the hawker centers and use the public transport. Though, as a Singaporean myself, I'm pretty sure what puts us on the the top of the list is our living expenses. Average sized apartments are currently trading on the resale market for a million bucks and an average japanese car will cost you about 200 grand our groceries are also about double the price of european countries. So yeah, so long you're not LIVING here, it's pretty ok.
If you wanted cheap but quality food next time go to HAWKER CENTRE its a mix of difference type of street food, one of them has the $2 soy chicken and has a michelen star on it. Tnx for this vlog man! Missing sg rn. Stay safe! 💯
Good choice to head to Maxwell Food Centre and ordered Yangchow Friend Rice. It will be filling. You can chew gum but you cannot find them on sale. Locals shop online. The prices are more attractive. You can drink from the water fountain. They are clean.
You should do your homework before landed in Singapore, Maxwell food center have so many amazing foods at under $5. Granted that accommodation in Singapore are incredibly expensive, but I always find that foods are pretty cheap and damn SUPER delicious
as a singaporean, i'd still say " oh dear, what a waste of money on that $8 drink "

I'm an expatriate in Singapore from 🇮🇹🇮🇹. It's a really expensive country but it's so worth it. We are so advanced and changi airport has been crowned most luxurious airport several years in a row. In terms of the gum rule that is a rumor. It is completely legal to chew gum but illegal to sell it or spit it on the street. In terms of bubble tea, a place I would recommend is LiHO. It's very affordable and I would recommend it. Places to stay without a budget would be air bnbs. Once you come with no budget (I know you want to come back), you should try Din Tai fung. I'm pretty sure they have one in nyc but in my opinion here in sg it's better.

Right. I was like noooo!
I was in Singapore for Thanksgiving 2019. It is an amazing city the people are beautiful inside and out I had a blast. I ate at the hawker centers. Everything is clean the airport is the most beautiful airport I’ve ever been to. I work at Newark liberty and it’s nothing like any metropolitan airports in our area. I can’t wait for this pandemic to be over with. I’m flying back out to Singapore.❤️
Oh I forgot Singapore has the best Zoo in the world.
Woah the clips with the locals are so raw. Sometimes people make things too cinematic when it’s actually better to just hold the camera and live more in the moment
Singapore is literally a glimpse of what our future would look like, singapore’s structure and city is around 25 years ahead of us and greater, this is where we get our futuristic blueprints, pictures and visions of what the city’s in the usa would look like by 2050 as an example. if you ever wondered what the future would look like it would be singapore’s city
That is assuming people are fine staying in pigeon holes for rest of their lives
I don’t know why everyone says Singapore is so expensive, I live here and it’s only expensive if you look in the obvious places if you go to places like Hawker centres and away from the main tourist areas you can find really fun stuff to do really cheaply, However obviously if you go to gardens by the bay and Marina Bay Sands everything is going to be very expensive.
Exactly. Like go to Tiong Bahru Market and you'll be filled and with tapao at $10.
housing and cars make up the bulk of the living cost in Singapore. If you don't have a car, of course it'll be relatively cheap as food is cheap and taxes are not as heavy here.
omg we stayed in the same hostel
Me too
That means ya'll cheap
I live in toa payoh
😃
I tried to travel cheap before... i really prefer not to. A vacation is supposed to be relaxing, not a survival challenge.
As a Singaporean it's always nice to see my city being explored. I am visiting NYC next month, so wish me luck!

Lol I agree
Live here since 18 years. Rooms can be pricy, but most of the other things you can do on a budget. Transport is good and cheap:taxis, bus, mrt. Better then in the US or Europe. Food the same, lots of the sightseeing is free, some museums are free. There is a lot of things you can do for 100 bucks. Just maybe 2 things: 1) coffee is dirt cheap here. Nobody drinks those fancy designer coffees if you on a budget. You can get coffee, good coffee...for a dollar at stalls and places such as Toast Box. As you would in most large asian cities btw. 2) I’m a photographer and you definitely can get much cheaper accessories for your camera. But of course not in the shiny shops in the middle of the city or tourist areas. Yes, Singapore can be expensive too, but the cool thing is thete are often essential options foe various price levels. That goes for food, transport and housing. As a traveller on a budget though, you propably can enjoy more things in other parts of south east asia.

Really enjoying watching your uploads during 'lockdown'. I wouldn't say they're scratching my (constantly) itching feet, but they're definitely feeding my mind.
I would have gladly taken you around Singapore too! We are also a nation crazy on sales promotions where you get stuff at lowered prices and there’s online apps for that too! You can get MRT tourist card at the MRT customer service counter.
We have other islands apart from Pulau Belakang Mati like Pulau Ubin, Lazarus, Chek Java etc etc .. I hope the $8 bubble tea was worth it coz as a Singaporean, I won’t buy that even for the photo novelty. Oh yes, alcohol, tobacco and car prices here are very expensive due to high taxes imposed by the Government. Hope you have had enjoyed your stay and come back! 🙂
It's expensive because u all went to the expensive places
The max amount locals can spend is 40 a whole day
I spend 15
Yes
Not really, depends on the person, I usually spend abt 100-200 when I hang out with my friend, and like we hang out every week at least once, on my birthday I spent like 400+ hanging out with her. I'm 16, I'm not rich or anything but for some reason I always manage to spend so much and get so much
I spend $5 a day. I cook though.
All that stuff seemed pretty cheap to me haha

Hello! When I see that you have 140bucks for 48 hours, I was like oh man he gonna have a good time with good food! Actually it’s not that expensive for food and drinks, you just have to go to the right places. Coming from a local, you will have a lot of yummy food and drinks in heartlands, avoid touristy places and you can make your money worth in SG. Come back again but get more info from the locals first:) to foreign friends here, we are not a copied version of Switzerland, we are nothing close. Singapore has its own flavour, just like NYC, a mixture of culture and people from different backgrounds. What we have is SG people can survive anywhere because we eat and love food from different culture, we are understanding and sensitive towards different cultures. And that is why my friends, why people like SG, they can find a piece of home here.

What about trying this challenge in Switzerland? I live here and well, some parts of the most expensive City called Zurich will be really difficult to stay 2 nights in a hostel room and buying some good/cheap foods. Do you take this challenge? 😎
I'll take it. City Backpacker Biber for 30 CHF a night. For breakfast, probably something from Ässbar or something light for like 8 CHF. First day I'll just explore the city -- lake Zürich, free museums, Grössmünster and Fraumünster. The library. For a quick lunch since I'll be walking around I'll just get something to go from Migros. Maybe the set meal as it's more filling. That's about 12 CHF. For dinner I'll go to Louis Takeaway because I absolutely love the burger there. 20 CHF or less for a great burger, fries and a drink. Even cheaper if I have a student pass. For the nightlife, I'll get some alcohol and drink by the lake or just roam the streets. I'll maybe buy a drink at a bar if I feel like it. The next day I'll buy the 9 o clock pass or day ticket for ~15 CHF. Grab something light from Migros. Emi Latte and Knusperbröt and a bar of Swiss chocolate. Probably < 10 CHF. Picnic at the top of Ütliberg. For lunch I'll take the ship ride in my Tageskarte to Rapperswil and have lunch there. Maybe a pizza from Dieci while I admire the river view. Probably 20 CHF for a whole pizza funghi. I'll explore awhile and head back to Zürich for dinner. Takeaway from Burgermeister. Or if I'm not planning to spend on nightlife, probably I can splurge and go to Swiss Chüchi or Zughauskeller for a traditional Swiss dinner. The veal meat in mushroom sauce, Zürich art. All in all less than 100 CHF a day. :p Experienced Asian (skimping tendencies) whom lived in Switzerland for 6 months heh heh.
@@KangZiJing lived in Switzerland 6 months is key. I can do London very cheaply because I know it very well, but when you first arrive in a new city no guidebook replaces months or years of local knowledge.
@@roryhanlon927 "lived in Switzerland 6 months is key"
Not really. Note how I said I lived in Switzerland and not Zurich. I stayed in a town near Zurich and only went to Zurich a few times. The only "thrifty wisdom" attained was understanding how the transport system work.
The real key comes with having Internet. Prepare for your trip by finding out how public transport works, where to get good food, where to get cheap food, etc.
I traveled to Singapore and had an Amazing time. My hotel was on Orchard Street near all the Shopping and fine dinning. We had some of the best food and visited some of the most gorgeous beaches.

Singapore was put as the most expensive country in thr world because the study included the cost of a car as a necessity, shooting us right to the top. In SG, most people actually take public transport. Cost of living is actually on par with many other major cities in the world or even cheaper.
No it’s the most expensive city. Try Tokyo, HK, London, NY, Seoul, LA.....now those cities are EXPENSIVE!

I love Singapore, it's my closest world city. Also it's not so expensive as people think if you know where to go and shop for groceries where the locals shop. For the traveler Food in Singapore (best on Earth) is cheap by Australian standards and accommodation is on par with Australia's state capitals. Transport is also pretty similar to Brisbane though less expensive than Sydney or Melbourne.
There are many hidden costs built into the social fabric such as government housing that removes a significant slice of your income but is a way of imposing forced financial security upon retirement. Private housing on landed property or in private developments is only for the top tier of the population. And forget about owning a private car unless you have spare money to burn or throw away or a really massive ego. Public transport covers most places, is frequent, efficient, clean & safe.
Personally my pic for worlds most expensive city would be San Francisco by far. I love SFO but housing is ridiculously expensive for what you get and mind where you walk in some public areas because human excrement and drug paraphernalia can be stepped on or in.
@@jasontempest4233 Thanks for your reply. I wish to explain more about Singapore but it's best whoever that comes to Singapore, they will know it's not the MOST EXPENSIVE COUNTRY in the world. Takes too long to explain about it. So I will just leave it as it is.

SG can actually be a pretty affordable place to visit if you limit your food to the hawker centers and use the public transport. Though, as a Singaporean myself, I'm pretty sure what puts us on the the top of the list is our living expenses. Average sized apartments are currently trading on the resale market for a million bucks and an average japanese car will cost you about 200 grand our groceries are also about double the price of european countries. So yeah, so long you're not LIVING here, it's pretty ok.
If you wanted cheap but quality food next time go to HAWKER CENTRE its a mix of difference type of street food, one of them has the $2 soy chicken and has a michelen star on it. Tnx for this vlog man! Missing sg rn. Stay safe! 💯
Good choice to head to Maxwell Food Centre and ordered Yangchow Friend Rice. It will be filling. You can chew gum but you cannot find them on sale. Locals shop online. The prices are more attractive. You can drink from the water fountain. They are clean.
I had a fan girl moment, when I saw the marina bay sands from Crazy Rich Asians😂
You should do your homework before landed in Singapore, Maxwell food center have so many amazing foods at under $5. Granted that accommodation in Singapore are incredibly expensive, but I always find that foods are pretty cheap and damn SUPER delicious
