For a Singaporean, I strangely get recommended a lot of tourists in Singapore videos and I do watch them. This is by far one of the best I have seen. It is offbeat and well-researched.

Josh and Lisa, the both of you should get an award for your travel video !! To many foreigners (especially the Europeans) and locals, Singapore seem sterile and expensive. But your travel blog video presents so much of the life, taste, local colour and the affordability of the Singapore that few know it to be.

Thank you!

I'm from Singapore and Josh really nailed it about our expectations of airports 🤣. Even before they added that hugeeee mall, I really got a huge surprise when we travel and saw how other airports actually looked like 😅.

And yes, hawker center food.... it's really the place to try local food.

I'm Singaporean and I travel a lot for work. I find that it's always possible to live simply in Singapore and not spend so much money. Glad you enjoyed being in Singapore. You're always welcome here.

Great video! This is why "Singapore is the most expensive city in the world" is only partially true, because the only truly expensive things are 1. housing and 2. vehicles (both obviously due to land scarcity issue). Everything else is 100% affordable and this video just proves that you can't just trust everything you see online :)

There’s a 24hr spa called Gspa just down the street across the hotel you’re staying at. I’d recommend anyone that is on a layover, have time to spare to relax and chill. It’s about $70 for a 24hr access, with free flow food, hot and cold pool to soak in, a steam room and sauna and sleep chairs too. Sharing cause I thought it’s good deal.

Being a local, this would be the perfect itinerary that I would recommend to a foreign friend. Kudos to you for doing your research - things like cycling from MBS - Airport and Lazarus Island and my favourite hawker centre ‘old airport road’ is not something that is commonly featured in Singapore travel vlogs. This deserves to be picked up by the tourism board for promotional purposes. Also, mayb next time try birds paradise ie our new and revamped bird park. It’s something that is not featured a lot by foreigners yet.

Thank you for loving my home country so much! I know it’s not your first time in Singapore, but I’m grateful to be reminded that Singapore is a place I call home and proud to be a Singaporean, as we have a lot to be thankful for on this small little island. 🥰🥰🥰

"I can't believe this airport has a butterfly garden and a movie theatre. JFK is just salmonella and despair."

I hope our gov show this video to all the citizens to appreciate how wonderful our country really is. people are just taking things for granted nowadays and complain way too much

I watched your New Zealand trip (I am Maori from New Zealand) and I thought it was really well done. So I watched your Vietnam trip (I spent a year there during the war) and again I thought it was great, I've been back twice. Now watching Singapore as I have spent 4 years in Singapore and 2 years in Malaysia. I know I will watch many more of your travels as I have also been to many other countries. I decided to write here because I heard Lisa say Chicken Feet was her favourite - I have never heard anyone say that, Chicken Feet is my favourite too.....

Wow I genuinely loved this episode! Too many fav moments....loved the meal choices, Josh running like the happiest kid towards ice-cream man, Lisa zooming on the train door while Josh teased her for taking endless shots of the empty train, lol! Most importantly the sincerity that oozes from your faces while enjoying the simple things that make you happy. The ending narration sums up why I subscribed in the first place.

I think you are the second or third travel vlogger to cycle to East Coast and change airports and the first travel blogger to jump on a boat to the southern island. Well done!❤

@ThatForeignBloke 2 years ago

Great video once again. Despite its reputation for being expensive, it was good to see that Singapore can actually be budget friendly 👍👍

@thinkpadx60 2 years ago

This was an amazing video of my city. I have been living in Hong Kong in recent years and when I go back to Singapore I am amazed how much there is to see and do in that little island. You have showcased the city very well.

1:24 From a Singaporean, I know to keep my expectations low when travelling to other countries. But I have to say, I was sorely disappointed with JFK airport in New York. I expected New York to at least have a nice airport, considering how famous the city is. Was definitely a shocker.

Love how you show a different side of Singapore to the world, as a local, you’re doing a much better job than us singaporeans at showing off what Singapore has to offer ❤

Hi guys, I am a Singaporean and I used to worked at Geylang as our warehouse is located there. I used to walk home from my warehouse about 3 or 4 am. That place is still considered safe. Unless you bumped in drunkers who walking around staring at girls. Just be careful when you are alone.

@55livinglife 2 years ago

Singapore added to my list. You guys sure know how to stretch your days and dollars at a destination. I love it. Thank you.

As a Singaporean, I appreciate so deeply your travel video. It reflects very authentically about Singapore.... the Hawker centre is literally the heart of every singaporean's life. Day in day out breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper surrounds hawker centre and coffee shops. The ONLY thing you need to try for breakfast is Kaya toast and half boiled eggs. its a treat for mornings when we have time for leisurely breakfast when we don't have to go to work!! :) Lisa and Josh you are fast becoming my fav couple for travel videos!! im subscribing!!!
