I loved this video seeing what mistakes I prevented when I went to Singapore. Luckily we followed everything smoothly except never taking the MRT and suffering as we walked through the city in the humidity and rain in November. Brought back memories with this footage, especially when my sunglasses instantly fogged up walking out of the hotel!!

I do appreciate how you get right into the first point within the first 5 seconds of the video. Theres no “make sure to click the notification bell” or any other explanation. You treat your audience like they are smart and thats cool.

Very informative tips and straight to the point! Good reminder on the clothing that might not be appropriate if one intends to visit the temples, usually people forget about that.

That's great to know about the humidity there! I will for sure keep a small towel with me when I decide to head over there someday.

Another great video. Most of us want to do what's right when we travel, but how can you when you don't know the rules? Thanks for the heads up, buddy. (Two more rules: don't bring illegal drugs into the country because you will likely be executed, and don't toss chewing gum on the ground. I don't know if they will execute you for that, but you might get caned, and you don't want that.)

You got to love Singapore 🇸🇬 a amazing city in the world.

Love the sign that says "No Tooting". (OK, it's really "Touting")

Singapore, and most of Asia, has levels of social trust, public order, and safety completely foreign to Muricans. I fnd it interesting that other than Murica, where you're sorta stuck, the only place you travel to is Asia. Go ahead, do what you want to do and take the plunge; I did over twenty years ago and never looked back!
