    I'm Indonesian, but I can relate to most of this. When visiting NZ with my family we were freezing at summer over there, luckily I adapted after 3 days. Oh yeah, my dad had Asian food withdrawal after 4 days in Australia, I had it after 2 weeks.

      It doesn't matter, cos that's not the point of this video. This video is just to snow that Singaporeans will always be cautious about drinking tap water overseas, cos not every city's tap water is drinkable.

    After visiting Singapore in July, I agree about the price of the food here in Melbourne compared to Singapore (when you look at hawker centres). You should have come to Canberra as well where it's even colder!

    Singaporean food is good, I've experienced it and happy with both taste and quality. That's maybe a good reason why remember home when they're overseas. But the price in Singapore is not cheap in compare with other development countries for example US. And btw, you can drink tap water almost everywhere in US and Australia :)

    • @littlebluedolphin
      @littlebluedolphin 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's a difference between living and holidaying abroad. If you were to factor in housing and car prices, then yes, those cost a bomb in Singapore. But when it comes to dining out, we have a lot more affordable options compared to Australia(featured here). I visited Australia a few times and when it does to eating out, other than fast food, it usually means costing AUD$7 and above, when we mostly get the same/similar at SGD$3-4 back in Singapore. But truth be told, groceries in Australia is cheaper than in Singapore, as Australia have land for agriculture while most groceries in Singapore are imported. On the other hand, if we're in a country that has plenty of cheap good food when dining out (like street food, small eateries etc), then Singaporeans go crazy over the food and forget about comparing prices.
