#Review Singapore Summaries 4 days of travel, and I've filmed a month's worth of posts! Not bad, of course, but it's time to wrap up and write a post-trip recap. The main question - is it worth going to #Singapore? On the one hand, I'd like to say yes,…
About food in Singapore Despite its overall high cost, #Singapore is surprisingly a cheap and good place to eat deliciously! Short on money? Head to Chinese food courts and fill up on cheap eats. Want specific cuisine? Head to an ethnic district and choose…
#Singapore There was a time when I went to a park with huge mushroom-shaped trees. The place was built from scratch on reclaimed land, and it could be said to serve as a "backyard" for the Marina Bay Sands hotel (visible in the background). But in my…
#Singapore At the bar @ ATLAS
On my last day in #Singapore, I managed to visit the ATLAS bar. And I can confidently say that it's the most beautiful bar I've ever been to! You might think it's a hotel lobby in the photo, but it's not! It's actually a regular office building, built…
"Cloud Forest" - another hyped up place in #Singapore, which is nevertheless worth visiting. A good example of how to create an attraction from scratch - essentially, they crammed a 35-meter-high artificial mountain under a dome, channeled water to the top…
Unfortunately, I only got to see the highlights of #Singapore in the city center, so there aren't many photos of the housing. But even here, you can find examples of buildings from different eras! Fun fact - 80% of Singaporean citizens live in public…
#Singapore On a Sunday stroll through the city center, it's not uncommon to come across crowds of South Asian women (mostly women) having picnics right along the streets. These are domestic workers, essentially a separate caste of migrants living in…
Colonial architecture in different parts of the city. I've already written that #Singapore preserves its historical heritage well. Here's an example for you!
On the last evening before my departure, I managed to visit another ethnic district of #Singapore - the Arab Quarter. The district is not as popular as Chinatown, but it has more cozy and affordable Middle Eastern restaurants, as well as cafes and bars.…
I'll also say a few words about the progressive side of #Singapore: The city has introduced very strict standards for the quality of new commercial buildings, requiring eco-friendly construction and offsetting emissions through greening initiatives. And I…
The financial district of #Singapore In my opinion, it's a rather boring area, where there are literally only offices (well, just like in the "city"). In the evening, there's hardly anyone on the streets. The roads are still so wide - you wait for two…
#Singapore Not everyone in this city is a millionaire, but probably everyone wants to grab a bite to eat somewhere! In Singapore, there are equivalents of food courts called "hawker centers". Essentially, it's the same as street food, but a bit more…
I think everyone has seen the "ship-hotel" Marina Bay Sands, it's shoved into literally every video about #Singapore, so I'll just limit myself to a couple of life hacks: - To get inside, you don't have to stay in the hotel for $1000/day, you can just go…
#Singapore The Marina Bay shopping center from a few unconventional perspectives.
#Singapore When it comes to bars, there are several really good options here. One of them is Nutmeg&Clove, a small cocktail bar in the historic downtown district. It's ranked in the Top50, but on weekdays, you can try to get in without a reservation. They…
I've made it a principle to post honestly and about everything on my channel, so I can't ignore one district of #Singapore that shatters all stereotypes about the city. And of course... Indian Town! - Trash littered on the roads in the "cleanest city in the…
#Singapore When walking around the Chinese Quarter, it's hard not to come across at least two temples: Shri Mariamman, the oldest Hindu temple in the city (1827) The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, which can be considered a perfect Chinese-Buddhist temple (2007)
#Singapore As an option for things to do in Chinatown besides exploring the neighborhood - I can recommend visiting the Tea Time tea house (https://maps.app.goo.gl/JACfnnLEzvYCTXFL7). The selection of Chinese teas isn't particularly extensive and is quite…
Chinatown in #Singapore is a treasure trove of the city's colonial architecture. The district began to be developed as early as the 19th century, and for a long time, it was the main place of residence for Chinese migrants, their entertainment and trade…
One of the mysteries of #Singapore - why do wild chickens just roam the city streets? Not even in parks, but right along the roads in the very center! As far as I understand, they're just considered wild birds here. Well, whatever, and as long as they don't…
#Singapore A bit about the price tags on basic items I went into a 7-Eleven - teas for $3! That's three times more expensive than in Thailand/Taiwan/Japan. For that money, you could already find imported ones in Canada! Of course, I found a similar product…
#Singapore I love cool developments based on historical architecture, and you can find just such a place not far from the city center. Chijmes is a former Catholic monastery, built all the way back in the mid-19th century. From the 1930s to the 1980s, it…
#Singapore While strolling along the waterfront, you might want to take a look at the historic Fullerton Hotel for the sake of curiosity (it's hard to miss it!). Once a post office, then a tax office, and now a five-star hotel with a view of the Singapore…
Okay, some things you just can't wash down with alcohol - but the nighttime downtown of #Singapore in the bay looks amazing! It gets dark early at the equator, so on weekdays after sunset, offices are still bustling with activity. But on weekends, crowds of…
First impressions of #Singapore After dropping my things off at the hotel, I decided to walk to the city center in the evening. And, honestly, this was not what I expected! Right across from the hotel is an eight-lane highway. Noise, dust, heat from…
#Singapore To quickly close the base - where I lived and for how much My average requirements for a place are a private bedroom with a workspace and a bathroom, in an area relatively close to the center, so as not to spend a lot of time on the road. That's…
I'm tired of posting about Europe, so I'll switch to Asia 😝 In October, I finally got to visit a tiny little country that people talk about a lot, despite its size! And of course, it's #Singapore Just four days of visa-free transit, but I think I covered…
