For me it is definitely the safety here, especially as a woman heading out at night. Most people are well travelled but they really do not know how good we have it here till they actually live overseas for awhile.
This is true, but don’t be complacent about this. 11 years here but I had one very serious incident with a Singaporean person. It was however dealt with in Singapore style, quickly and efficiently.
We had a Live-Tree at Seraya Road. The day it was sawn down. We were all crying. We were just a bunch of us crying. Given the me now. I would make a protest. Might even use force to oppose.
I’m Singaporean and having lived overseas for many years, I would have to say all of the points are spot on. Medical appointment is one of the many things I’ve taken for granted here. Imagine my shock when I realised that Clinics overseas are exclusively by appointments only. If you urgently need to see a doctor, you need to head straight to the emergency… God knows how much that would cost!
I work in Singapore for 10 years and the best place to live clean , food is great, transport are easy access and cheap and on time, you can party till early in the morning which I did and safe to walk , all roads have plants/ flowers and safe , people are more respectful to one another and if you break the law you go to jail no question ask . I miss Singapore just about everything .
I definitely miss the diverse environment and entertainment I used to be a expat kid in SG and literally there was SOOOO MUCH to do from a boat right to a fun day on Sentosa and a hike in the jungle. Really miss it. Also I miss the International Environment and having so many cultures to learn from . SG is just amazing ❤️
The trees on both sides on ECP are called Rain Trees. The tree can grow up to 30m in height with an umbrella shaped crown, very spreading (20-30m across). The leaves of the Rain Tree folded up in the evenings and that was why the Malays called it Pukul Lima, which means 5 o'clock because 5pm used to be closer to the sunset.
My dad used to wake me up at 3-4 am for special Beach Road Hainanese Curry Rice...50 years ago...it’s my favourite and most memorable...Miss that so much since leaving Singapore for Australia...Thanks Georgia ❤️❤️😘
I agree with you Georgia, Changi airport I believe is the best airport in the world, you can easily spend 24 hours exploring the airport, the thing I appreciate about Singapore is just how easily it was to get a doctor’s appointment as a visitor was, the last time I was in Singapore in 2018 I had a stomach bug & I managed to get an appointment within 2 hours & I loved how the clinic gave me the prescription medication straightly after seeing the doctor & that I didn’t have to visit the chemist to get the medicine like they do here in Australia. I think Singapore will open its International borders on July 1, 2022.
Actually, Singapore was ready to open her borders from 17 August 2021 to welcome the World Economic Forum Summit delegates. The govt was working towards that deadline.
Hainanese Curry rice available at Scissor Cut Hainanese Curry Rice (No joke they use a large pair of scissors normally used for metal cutting) at Geylang Road and Kitchener Road. Also at Kovan Hawker Centre (Kovan MRT) near hand wash basin station.
Came across your channel awhile back. Having left Singapore as a child and living in Canada for several decades now, it’s nice to hear about the homeland. Did you know you’ve picked up a bit of a Singaporean accent? I had to replay a couple of segments but the inflections were there! Pretty cool.
I love the bidet located within the toilet bowl! Years ago, I was in a Taiwan hotel and used the bidet which came with warm water! It was truly such a neat way of cleaning up!
The Bum Gun is still a massive step down from a proper japanese-style washlet / built-in bidet - both in SG and back home in the UK I've got one of those installed - they can be a bit expensive but TOTALLY worth it. It was actually one of my pre-conditions on my LOI that the landlord would approve me installing one of these - haha!
Besides the food, what I miss is the way things are more orderly, most people queue properly and getting on and off the MRT is efficient. Where I come from getting on and off trains is all pushing and shoving.
We call it toilet spray or hose spray! You should try a Japanese style bidet. My office building has one and it has a heated seat, different pulse and a dryer! Such a game changer
The bidet is similar to the Japanese toilet. If you think that using the bidet is good perhaps you can invest in a good Japanese toilet seat. Ones with the automatic cleaner and stuff.
They're Rain trees... And If I am a foreigner I would definitely appreciate the dress down culture we have here, maybe because we are summer throughout I can literally wear a singlet, shorts and slippers across the street to grab snacks without getting stares. No matter how sloppy it is, nobody will judge you
nowadays the bidet is mostly integrated into the toilet itself. you can operate it using a knob by the side of the toilet and it’s invisible too. it retracts when not in use.
*Also will be missing all those both yummy and unique local and international pastries, cakes, breads, cookies, kuehs and desserts...Literally we can find all types of pastries and kuehs in SG and its at affordable price and my favourite will always be French pastries and Malay and Nyonya kuehs*
I love everything about Singapore and can't wait to return. I think maybe we'll be able to travel around July 2022, hopefully. We are on restrictions here in Australia as new cases emerge and rollout of the vaccine is slow. Stay safe Georgia
I remembered an old friend who studied biology and worked as the National Park officer responsible for the plants along ECP and beach. She told me the tree in the centre of ECP is rain tree. If I remembered correctly.
I remembered not too long ago there’s a survey that says , apart from Japan and Korea along with this region including Middle East, the chances of getting hemorrhoid are much lesser than other continents is because of their religion practices that affect one’s personal hygiene , thanks for the habit of using a pump gun or bidet every time after answering the call from nature and rest assure you feel so fresh and clean .
I absolutely agree with how efficient Singapore systems are, how good the transport infrastructure is. We can never be able to get our ATM card in the spot in the bank. We've gotta wait for a week ( in Australia) to be sent it to us. I cannot walk in to any day clinics if I was sick. I had to make appointment, if not I will have to queue up at the night clinics. Its a pain. The trains in Perth made my eyes roll. Safety has always been an issue for me at night ( Australia). The Aussie laws were as good as non existence.
The trees..... Mostly rain trees..... and a few angsana trees..... and those trees that look like fir trees, they are called casuarina trees or rhu trees.
Install a window mosquito mesh Use citronella oils When you get bitten by a mosquito use soap to wash the area to neutralize the itch Then apply insect bites cream to soothe the area No more itch scarring Be careful of dengue
You're so right! Public transportation in the UK is definitely expensive compared to SG. I'm a Singaporean living up north and it blows my mind to think a two-way bus ride (15 mins away) costs 4 pounds 😳
Travel to Singapore: we have plane reservations for February 2022. Regarding "Bum Guns": buy a Japanese Toto toilet because it has a built-in "Bum Gun". Awesome!
I'm not sure which culture Miss Krys subscribes/belongs to. When GC talked about bidet, I had an impression that it's linked to cleanliness to be observed by the Muslim faith. I stand to be corrected. Thank you for sharing Miss Krys
What you said are all so true. Food, flowers and trees, transport, safety, facilities etc,Surprise you love the Hainanese Curry Rice, its not a commonly eaten dish compared to other more popular ones. But indeed it is gooey slurry goodness, delicious, great comfort food. First video I come across which mention or dare to mention the bum gun. Was wondering what on earth you were referring to. Yes its more and more available in toilets. Its derived from the muslim practice of washing not wiping. Nice video. Btw I just cant get over those beautiful blue eyes of yours..... fascinating.
Never heard of bum gun, but I was indeed confused with it when I came to Singapore for the first time. that's very interesting. maybe I should also make a video about it. thanks for your great video!
Public mass transport system in Japan is very good. More timely than Singapore and lesser breakdowns definitely than Singapore's MRT. Just look at the historical records.
"as much as we complain" -> as a singaporean, i agree! but i also can't imagine living without all those you mentioned hehe. oh DAMn i've never heard about hainanese curry rice before XP And YESS to bum guns!!
I wish that all public toilets in Singapore had a bum gun, or a bidet as we call it! It's far more hygienic. The toilet paper is meant for drying up after washing
Tw mrt system is more efficient. I hadn't encountered breakdowns and intervals are below 2 mins. Nevertheless since our mrt has not broken down for a while, it can be considered efficient. If we opt for subsized medical care our appointments for specialists take months too unless we pay private rate which will take less than a month. Jan 2023 to some countries as tourists without quarantine. Jan 2022 business travel to a few countries without quarantine.
You have learnt to be very diplomatic in what you say. Now you say things which make the locals happy. As compared to the 711 video a couple years back.
I didn't miss my parents as much as i missed the food back here when i was away for 3 years 😂😛 I think Singaporeans will only be satisfied with transport the day teleportation is invented. I can't say for sure but i think once we hit high enough vaccination rate, we'll be able to. I think by Oct?
France and Italy have bidets but the bum gun wins as is takes zero space compared to the European equivalent! My mum moved from Jakarta to England in the 60s and remembers thinking the English were filthy 😆
You are right about the bidet system. I am using the bidet and have never used toilet paper for years. It is clean and environmental friendly and further more, I was amused at the fight for toilet paper during the pandemic where women went for one another with hammer and tong to get extra toilet rolls.
Personally, I feel it is way much easier to collect your medicines at the GP instead of the pharmacy. In Aus or other countries, patients need to collect their medicines at the pharmacy.
When I became an international student in the US, I can definitely see how I took street safety and public transport for granted. Even walking on the streets in the day, I feel so out of place and it feels like I’m doing something wrong. And there’s no place you can really go without a car😭😔
I never it called this b4....but now I will call it that. Used to call it a spray gun... Yaaa its really uncomfortable for me to clean with paper...and it still feels unclean.
Hi @Georgia Caney One point about healthcare system here in Singapore is that we locals mostly consume public healthcare which is highly subsidised by the government. Similar to NHS, there is considerable waiting time to be referred from polyclinic doctor or GP to a specialist appointment in hospital. It ranges from 2 weeks to 1 month of waiting time.
@@walfredlim2081 It's not really 'free' . Paid by taxpayers $$. Someone has to pay for it ultimately. I remember years back, for referral from polyclinics to specialist in hospital, it could take weeks or even months. Now waiting times have been significantly reduced.
Think the accessibility where just walk 5-10 mins there will be mama shop or coffee shop for ur lunch/dinner, while foreign countries need to travel 1-2 hours to get to supermarket, another great curry rice is at tiong bahru, mid of 2022, bum gun 😂😂😂
To us in Australia, we generally refer to a bidet when it is the Japanese sit down style ones which is a separate bowl. Hence using the term bum gun, because it's different. Or if you want to be more polite, a 'bidet spray'
I lived in Bristol for a year and as a Singaporean, I find the public transport there horrendous to say the least. Also, what's with buses with one door?! Once, I cut queue at the bus stop thinking why were people taking their time to board the bus? Turns out they were letting other passengers alight first through that one door 🙈 The kiasu in me never left 😆
Omg.... a bum gun. I asked myself what on earth is that as I have never heard these two words before and had to continue listening until I realised you were referring to a bidet. Hahaha......yeah, it's definitely more hygienic and does a better job than the toilet paper.
same here, recently been loving the bum gun/bidet spray. strangely that lately toilet paper been giving me skin irritation which led to using a bidet spray. not only its clean, it healed my skin, as the irritation makes my skin tear. ive tried changing toilet paper brands but it doesnt work. so I started using bidet spray and cetaphil gentle wash every time I uses the toilet. abit tmi, but can't help but I really agree that bidet spray was the best invention. ps: any recommendation on toilet paper to use though? changed the current toilet paper to another brand its a lot worse
I have no idea when the pandemic will die down but I hope it does so in a year or a year and a half's time, enabling countries to ease their border restrictions and allowing us to travel again! I guess the bright side of the pandemic is that it gives us a sizeable amount of time to save up for our future overseas vacations and minimizes human activities, giving Mother Earth her much needed opportunity to heal and restore herself to her former glory.
Geez you’re so right about sexual harassment in London, and also the UK in general. I live near where Sarah Everand was murdered it was shocking but sadly not surprising. I got harassed in the street the other day and made me feel so uncomfortable. The other thing is I always have to make sure I try and run with someone else or try not to run in the dark. Travel date Dec 1st 2021 🤞
On the travel front, I think/hope hope... February and Australia 🤞🏻🤞🏻🙂 I have to say I haven't embraced the 'bum gun' yet 😅 tried a couple times but can't get the hang of it and just get water everywhere 😂
For me it is definitely the safety here, especially as a woman heading out at night. Most people are well travelled but they really do not know how good we have it here till they actually live overseas for awhile.

Life is never the same again.
Oh my gosh I thought those hoses were for cleaning the toilets. I wonder if I'll have the nerve to try one of those but I love that idea!
try Beo crescent curry rice!!! their pork chop is 👍

Hi @Georgia Caney One point about healthcare system here in Singapore is that we locals mostly consume public healthcare which is highly subsidised by the government.
Similar to NHS, there is considerable waiting time to be referred from polyclinic doctor or GP to a specialist appointment in hospital.
It ranges from 2 weeks to 1 month of waiting time.
It's free healthcare including dental care the UK... we still need to pay for our healthcare.
@@walfredlim2081 It's not really 'free' . Paid by taxpayers $$. Someone has to pay for it ultimately.
I remember years back, for referral from polyclinics to specialist in hospital, it could take weeks or even months. Now waiting times have been significantly reduced.
the first travel corridor would be in August.
Think the accessibility where just walk 5-10 mins there will be mama shop or coffee shop for ur lunch/dinner, while foreign countries need to travel 1-2 hours to get to supermarket, another great curry rice is at tiong bahru, mid of 2022, bum gun 😂😂😂
In case using a bum gun in UK during winter is a problem, you might consider a bidet toilet seat with warm water option.
Hello greetings from Singapore too.
Rain trees, I believe.
That’s it, I’m calling my bidet a bum gun 😂
To us in Australia, we generally refer to a bidet when it is the Japanese sit down style ones which is a separate bowl.
Hence using the term bum gun, because it's different. Or if you want to be more polite, a 'bidet spray'
Me too, bum gun it is ...😂😂
hehehe
I will say April 2022 is when more Singaporean can start to travel!
No guns, no drugs on the streets ...Great effort from the government and the police force.
Add no robberies or heists, no extortions, kidnapping, no syndicated crimes, gangland fights etc All relics of the past.

Great info Georgia !! Only been to Singapore once but looking forward to returning....soon hopefully!! By the way Everyone needs a bum gun !!! 🤩😁😃
I’m not just a fan of the bum gun, I almost can live without it.
I think you should get the bum guy that’s embedded under the toilet seat, it’s more comfortable. You don’t need to change positions

Thought you are going back to England this year. Change of plan?
The bum gun is known as a bidet or a bidet spray
