Have you ever been in a situation where you couldn’t find an ATM while traveling? 😂 What’s the most interesting or unexpected thing you’ve discovered while exploring a place like Chinatown? Share your travel stories or tips for navigating cash emergencies in the comments-we’d love to hear them! 💬🌏
Tiger Balm is a Singaporean brand actually. Reason why it's so cheap. You should go to their theme park. Haw Par Villa, a free outdoor kitsch museum featuring Chinese mythology and legends as well as a paid museum about Hell and Death. Fun! stuff!
There are money changers everywhere in Singapore. In Chinatown there’s quite a few in the People’s Park Complex. You can ask around. Shops and restaurants accept credit cards but in the hawker centers it’s cash. Locals have their own form of cashless payment though.
Locals use a QR code payment system but it won't work for us, I have tried it several different ways, no local number or address makes it impossible. The best way is cash, just getting that without getting fleeced in the process from fees is pretty difficult ...apparently.
@@MarkandLindasXadventures ,,afraid so, unless u have a Singapore bank account, u can pay cashless via Paynow, Paylah, Nets etc, Cash is king for hawker centres .
Born and bred Singaporean here. I’m ethnically Chinese but am not a Chinese from China… I’m almost 40 years old and I don’t even go Chinatown often. Our Chinatown is kinda like an artificial version of what Chinatown “should” be like? I wouldn’t say it is truly authentic as many of the shops cater to tourists…. In fact many of the restaurants are run by China born Chinese who immigrated here and started a business. (Yes Singaporean Chinese and China Chinese aren’t really the same 😅) For me, if u want a truly local Singapore Chinese experience. I think heading to geylang is more authentic. It’s our de facto red light district, but it also has lotsa delicious places to eat.
