Growing up in Manhattan, NYC, Today's Singapore reminded of my early childhood. Clean, safe and well maintained mass transpo, crime free streets and fantastic food offerings whether at a food court in Bishan or Toa Porah or even the McDo I went to in Chinatown the 1st time for 5 days on a Thai visa run in the late teens. This place is as close to Utopia on Earth and to share it with my woman in 2018 bounded our relationship even tighter. It was absolutely brutal when I saw her off to her home at Changi Airport. Damn near cried going back to the hotel near Little India.

It depends on the benchmark that you are using. Many people compare Singapore with its neighboring countries, so it feels very expensive mainly due to its strong currency. But if you compare it to comparable cities in the West, it ain't too bad.

Greetings from Singapore, one of the reasons why Singapore is expensive is largely due to the big ticket items such as housing, owning a vehicle and etc. Daily expenses are still fairly affordable but we are feeling the pressure at the rate of the rising costs. So it all adds up to the ranks of most expensive countries to live in.

Informative video! I'll share my insights too. If you're on a budget, you can stay in 3-star or 4-star hotels (ibis budget and ibis styles are the decent options dont go to Hotel 81) and can probably spend around 400sgd for 4-5 nights. Accommodation is really pricey in SG (same with HK) so this will be your biggest spend. Food will be cheap just go to hawker centers and spend around 25sgd for food a day. You're only problem is the way to go around. Either you can use taxis or grab cars but if you have the energy and dont mind the heat you can walk to the MRT station for the MRT which can cost you less 4sgd per day. The other biggest budget spender you can have is if youre planning to visit some attractions, museums, and universal studios. Supertree in Gardens by the Bay is free. Other than that you can spend the 4-5 days with just 400-500sgd pocket money for yourself.

Thanks for sharing about Singapore! I love to watch videos of everyone taking a trip to Singapore. As a local, it serves as a reminder of how special and beautiful my country is. Living here can sometimes make you forget how unique it is. By the way, at 1:30 mark, I think your conversion rate is reversed. It should be $1 USD = $1.35 SGD. Cheers!

Great video! I just got back from visiting Singapore. Had a great time!

Take the MRT instead of taxis to save cost. Also, you dont need to get the card, if you have your credit card in your smart phone wallet or even smart watch, you can just use those.

Informative info on daily expenses. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely loved singapore, I stayed about 13 days. I stayed in a 4 star hotel with a friend (split cost in half), and we weren't exactly penny pinching. We spent about 2k each (including the hotel and the flight, which was from Madrid). It gave us enough to go to Universal, go shopping in orchard, go to all 4 zoos and eat at a proper resterauant basically everyday. Hawker centers and food courts made up for the rest of meals. We don't exactly drink so I think we saved a lot that.

Thank you for such an informative video...Appreciate it!

loved this thank you. i loved all your food choices ❤

Singapore is such a gem to visit. Hope you had a great time and a full-belly in Singapore, Chris!

Singapore is on my "to go" list. Thanks for some good info.

Great video! We love the foods when we travel as much as the sights! Your food looked amazing. Singapore looks like a great place to visit. I am embarrassed to say I was completely shocked to see that English is so prevalently used there. I've been to China twice, but no other Asian country. Thanks for unashamedly sharing your food purchases. Yellow Productions travels right!!

With all the attractions you did plus all the food and transportation, that wasn't too bad in terms of price. I'm usually not one who will go to a lot of the fancy restaurants either. I can find great food at places which are more mid-range. It's cool that there are a lot of cool stuff to see which are free such as seeing the Merlion or walking around the airport!

Love the videos, minor correction. $1 USD is ≈1.30 SGD

Thank you very much for your video share, much appreciated ✨️

Very good informative! Thanks for here focusing on showing Singapore adding verbal info, not all those tourist selfies so common nowadays. Keep up the good work! (Yes Singapore is worth a visit, still maybe not my favourite. KL, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Hanoi more intersting in my opinion. Actually no need to use the taxis here as much as you do, but maybe easier when you don t know the place.. Maybe Singapore a bit to "pefect"? Still a good place when you live here and don t have to think so much about the cost.)

Hmmm may have to book a trip to Singapore. Wasn’t on our travel radar but Chris you always make a destination look interesting. The Traveling Foodies may have to step outside of our comfort zone.
