31 Things I Love About Singapore (And 5 That Drive Me Crazy!)

from Travel Better with Chris - Yellow Productions Podcast

31 things to love and 5 harsh realities you need to know about visiting the breathtaking, futuristic city of Singapore. From the unparalleled luxury of Changi Airport and the flawless efficiency of the MRT system, to mouth-watering, Michelin-starred hawker center meals and iconic attractions like Gardens by the Bay and the open-concept Singapore Zoo, this island nation offers a stunningly safe, clean, and culturally diverse experience. However, no destination is perfect, so we will also prepare you for the relentless equatorial heat, sudden tropical downpours, the exorbitant travel costs compared to neighboring countries, and the incredibly stressful experience of trying to secure a dining table at a hawker centre. ✅ Watch more of my Singapore videos in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOVadUHX1B-Jiwvbml0fiZpsdQGH8oIqm 😀 Yellow Productions Merchandise: https://shop.yellow-productions.com/ 😀 WHEN'S THE NEXT LIVE STREAM?
