Did you know that Singapore can be relatively CHEAP?! 😄 Let us know in the comments below what’s your thoughts on it 👇
You guys are some of the hardest working YouTubers I’ve watched. You do make it look easy but I know it’s really not. I can’t make a 1 min video in a subject I know well, to save my life lol. Everything you shared is intentional and well explained. I appreciate you put in a lot of effort sharing your journey with us. ❤
Actually you should go to a 7-11. Yes the 'usual price' of the drinks are much higher, but they always have offers for drinks, even the bottle ones, that are $1, which is cheaper than vending machines. Not all 7-11 will have offers. But the hack really is to check 7-11s first
Haha.. the girl recommends JB, yeah but other than eating and shopping, what else is there? Maybe full body maintenance, manicure, perm your hair, plenty of foot massage
Pints in Singapore are closer to $18 and $20 Singaporean $. You pay a service fee then a tax on top of that. Alcohol is so expensive there.
It's Bussorah St opposite the sultan mosque Haji Lane is on ur right left is Kandahar St
I am Singaporean 🙂 thanks for promoting us 🙂
Really curious how did you guys meet? 😍 very cute couple!
Me and my boyfriend are Indo- polish couple as well living in Poland.
I absolutely love when people do these kinds of videos and specially to find out how much they spent on a Hotel. Excellent all around
Don’t you know Singapore is a class division,religion, nationality…mostly Indian in Singapore to be a worker, you’ll not see Chinese walk with Muslim Malaysian and Indian, they separate everything,that why you get rude from Muslim Malaysian because different religion.
Singaporeans don’t really like to be filmed. Some mind it more than others. We just usually choose to ignore, if not confronted. And as with all places, some people are nicer, some are not. That explains the aggressive guy. Given the location and you weren’t giving him biz, testosterone took over.
Kampong Glam/Arab Street/Haji Lane is a tourist and hipster place, successfully redeveloped maybe 20-30 years ago? It wasn’t like this all the time. And because it’s a traditional Muslim place with the mosque, you get similar type of Muslim middle eastern restaurants.
Singapore is a very expensive place. Of course there are cheap places as well but these are rare. If you are traveling, don’t mind a budget experience especially since it’s simply a holiday experience in a different country, then one can research and be disciplined and do what you did. But if you live here, need to go about your day, then you probably will start finding it expensive in not replicating what you did on a daily basis.
The roast meats stall you found is truly exceptional for the price and quantity…..kudos to you. Drinks-wise, it’s really getting expensive, like everything else. Some are trying to earn more as is usually the case in Singapore while others are forced to price up due to rental, usually in coffee shops. There are still reasonable prices around, for now, but you probably need to be local in that neighborhood even, to know. For mid-level drinks pricing, head to supermarkets and thrift shops like ABC/Valueshop.
JB is cheap for those capitalizing on exchange rates. To the locals it’s getting very expensive. I go to JB often and have seen prices going up a lot. Think the locals are feeling the pinch too. Having said that, there are places that are still quite cheap because tourists and Singaporeans don’t go there.
❤👍
Thank you for showing a side of Singapore that not everyone is seeing. We can still live on a budget while enjoying nice scenery and delicious food! 😊
Those houses at Tanglin goes for around $30 – 80 million. LOL. There are just a few thousand of those in Singapore. Out of a million households, that's how exclusive they are.
18:10 – the bus/train charges are distance based, regardless of how many transfers and changes you made. So sometimes the 2nd or 3rd ride might be free if they are short distances…
I am fron Nepal. When i was there in singapore for almost 3 years, i found Singapore is very expensive and relatively cheap depending on the places you visit and shop. Singapore treats well whether you look for expensive or cheap.
My last visit I stayed at Bugis Rest Hotel in Kampong Glam (Bugis MRT station) near Masjid Sultan. A bit more than the hostels, but not by much, not too far from the MRT, and near all the fun on Arab St.
Karolina hardly gets anything to eat or drink.
It’s not museat street 😂😂. It’s Muscat if referring to the capital of Oman or muscat a grape variety. That really cracked me up😂😂😂😂
Edit. Someone already pointed this out. But it cracked me up enough to comment on this.
Candidly it’s not easy to do but all in all I did enjoying your many videos. I do wish you two continuing on your journey of traveling, show the the world how beautiful places and food cultures be
Thanks!
You try eat halal food. Not cheap let me tell you
thanks share i never know stil got $3 meal my place all $6 to 7 sad so exp now SGi like see rich ppl house too 🙂
Hey, thanks for sharing the old embassy at Nassim rd. My friend from secondary school (back in the 80s) used to live with her family at the quarters (her father was the gardener there). Your video suddenly reminds me of her.
my strategies for coping with the heat, that even some of my fellow locals miss out on 😉 :
1. wear thin shirts and sandals/slippers, I even go commando if I am not with people
2. frequently put water on my face, neck, arms and legs (water from water bottle or shopping malls' washroom). On certain big event, freeze water/drink bottle into ice, wrapped in newspaper /towel to absorb moisture; and when you are out, remove the newspaper/towel and touch the cold surface to feel cold, and drink it later.
3. always have an umbrella in my bag, use it if shade/shelter is not available
4. always have a flapping fan in my bag
I still consider Malaysia to be MUCH MUCH cheaper.Singapore's hotels ,food, entertainment places are nearly two to three times more expensive
Visit philippines
if you are a budget traveler or you don’t have so much money,it’s better don't go to singapore.. choose indonesia, laos or cambodia.. a budget vacation is a stressful vacation..
