    Interesting video. Glad you liked the chili crab and could tolerate the spiciness. A few points:
    1. There isn’t a race called Singaporean. We are a country made up of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and more. So we are Chinese Singaporeans, Malay Singaporeans, Indian Singaporeans, etc. We do have a large number of non-citizen residents (40%) though, so Singaporean’s make up 60% of the population, not single digits as you mentioned.
    2. It is legal to chew gum in Singapore, just not legal to sell. If you bring it in, you can chew here. Just dispose of it properly.
    3. Chili crab is a popular dish which originated here but we have plenty of other “national” dishes like chicken rice. It’s much more affordable (US$2.50) and you might like it more than crab.
    4. Don’t buy water from convenience stores which can get expensive. Get them from supermarkets or even bargain stores. Better yet, don’t buy, full stop. Tap water is potable here.
    5. Quay is pronounced “key”. Because English.
    6. Not sure if you caught the free light show at Gardens by the Bay but if you haven’t, it’s a must-do.

    10:13 Yeah that’s because you bought it in a 7-11 convenience store. If you buy them at the local supermarkets or random mom & pop stores, it’s only either 50cents to 80cents or just around $1.50 local currency. Singapore is perceived expensive because of the cost of owning cars and the real estate rent for expats. For local, we had subsidies and various other incentives. For food, local hawker stores and food courts are cheaper than restaurants. We have subsidised healthcare so on and so forth. Also Quay is pronounced as key.

      I watch many of these TH-camrs travel to Singapore. Most of them rant on that Singapore is very expensive as they buy from convenience shops such as 7-11 which they did not know that there is an add on price premium to buy in convenience. No one talk about the prices in local supermarkets such as Fairprice, Sheng Siong, Prime, etc….. If they had known, they would not “rant” on that Singapore is exceptionally costly to live in…..

      I can’t believe I’m saying this, but yes. To experience it once was very memorable. We had a gardens by the bay view and at nighttime, watching the light show from our room with room service and champagne was magical and romantic. We spent an entire afternoon at the pool and as the sun was setting, saw all the city lights come on from the infinity pool. We only stayed 2 nights, and then transferred to Little India! I’m glad we experienced it, but we wouldn’t spend our money there again. For us it was worth doing it once. But we made use of our time at the hotel. We love your videos and all the hard work you put into them 👏🏼

      There is a small number of "homeless" people who are mostly out of sight from the touristy areas
      Some of them do so out of personal choice. As an example, they have their own property but are unable to get along well with their family members. So they choose to stay out
      Some others may have sold their property and used much of the proceeds to repay debts. Or the proceeds were swindled away by scammers. So they end up without a home
      Nonetheless, social workers do try to reach out to the homeless and offer them temporary shelters and financial assistance while working out long term solutions with them

    Convenience stores are for convenience. Not affordability. Tap water in Singapore is drinkable from the tap, no boiling or filtering necessary, Refill your bottle from the tap (any tap). Try eating at hawker centres - Maxwell food centre, Lau Pa Sat, or Tekka Centre (since you are staying in Little India - which you found!), and explore Satay Street (Next to Lau Pa Sat, opens when the sun goes down).

      1) U can chew gum in public, but u cannot litter and sell gum in Singapore. Chew gum is not an offence.
      2) u can smoke in public, u cannot smoke under shelter, parks and certain places. There is always a yellow box for smoking even in orchard road. Yes, u can smoke in public.
      3) water, u r buying water in tourist places. In Singapore supermarker sell water range sgd$0.35 to $3. 7eleven is always expensive becoz its a convenient store. Local dont buy water from 7 eleven as they know where to buy from a) hawker b) food court c) supermarkets d) mini marts. U have to do the local ways.
      4) singaporean dont eat chilli crab in fancy restaurant haha, go where the local go. 2 crab usually cost $50-$80

      Yeah. As Singaporeans, we should be appreciative of the efforts put into creating this vlog which is a good advertisement for Singapore tourism. Unfortunately, some netizens are too defensive when tourists, especially those from China, commented that Singapore is too expensive. It is a fact that Singapore is one of most developed countries in the world and the only one in Southeast Asia just by looking at the super high GDP Per Capita (Purchasing Power Parity). And so naturally along with it comes higher prices compared to other South East Asian countries

      ​@@hellobunny56789 That is the downside of Singapore and maybe relaxing a bit of the strictures since some bit of chaos is what gives a city its vibe. As much as its modern, I feel like Bangkok gives a good balance, modernity and affordability.

      The local supermarkets such as Sheng Siong, Prime, etc are widely available in HDB heartlands (i.e. suburbs), not quite in the touristy areas. Nevertheless, it is to be expected a price premium needs to be paid for the 24/7 convenience that comes along with 7 Eleven

    Clarke Quay is pronounced as Clarke 'Key'.
    Alcohol is more expensive in restaurants.
    If you go to the hawkers centres, local coffeeshops, supermarkets, alcohol is way cheaper.
    It is not that expensive in SG, you just need to know where to buy the cheaper options.
    There is also a light & music show at Gardens by the Bay which is free.
