Hi guys! This is the first episode of a whole new year with us on On the Go with EF.
We’re going to travel to a lot of new and exciting cities and create vlogs for you guys to enjoy.
Yes! And now, we’re on the rooftop of the EF school in …. guess where!
Singapore!
Singapore is both an island and city state in Asia, south of Malaysia,
and it has been ranked the most technology-ready country in the world, the smartest nation, and the world’s safest country.
How impressive is that? That’s not bad at all.
Guys, look around. It’s so beautiful here! Liam, do you know anything about this place?
I do. There are 5.6 million people living here in Singapore.
There are four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese and Tamil.
English serves as the common language here that everybody speaks, but Malay is the national language.
Nice! Why don’t you tell these guys what we’re going to do today?
Today, we’re going to go to Sentosa Island. Let’s floss there!
It worked. We’re here!
Anyway, Sentosa Island is an island right outside Singapore and you can spend a lot of time here.
There are so many fun things to do here
On Sentosa Island, you can find some of the best beaches in Singapore, a water park,
many different museums, a zip line, a sky bridge, golf clubs, cable cars, and ….
Universal Studios!
Yes, and it’s actually the only Universal Studios in all of Southeast Asia.
Do you want to go inside and check it out? I heard it’s a lot of fun,
but it’s just so warm right now and there are so many things to see, so maybe later?
Fair enough.
On this part of Sentosa Island, there are many different restaurants, and I mean many.
There are over 60 restaurants with treats from all over the world.
To be honest, you could stay here all day.
Yeah, you could, but as we mentioned, there is so much to do on the island, so we should go and discover that.
There’s the Sentosa Express, which is free and it takes you through the island to different stops.
Let’s go. Come on!
There’s nothing to hold onto. I’m just going to push my hands into the ceiling.
I feel like I look really silly holding my hands like this.
Are we here already? Okay. Let’s go.
This is where we were, Waterfront Station, and now we’ve come to Imbiah Station,
and there are more fun things to do here. I can see they have this Marvel 4D cinema.
They’ve got Madame Tussauds, and also this Imbiah Lookout.
I guess it’s something where you go and have a look at what’s around.
Shall we go and check it out? Yeah. We can go walk around and see what’s here.
Let’s go. Alright. Let’s see. What’s that over there?
It’s actually a symbol of Singapore. Oh really?
Yeah, and they have it in main locations throughout the city.
It’s quite impressive.
I know. I think it’s beautiful. I like the face. It’s very pretty.
The mane looks well taken care of, you know, like he uses shampoo and conditioner, you know what I mean?
This is Imbiah Lookout. It’s quite nice. You can see the harbor. It’s so fresh and clean.
Yeah. On the other side, you have Madame Tussauds Museum.
I also read that there’s a butterfly garden and an insect kingdom.
Oh really? Sounds nice. Yeah.
But, to be honest, I feel like going on an adventure.
An adventure? Come, let me show you.
Okay, Liam. Where did you bring me? We are going to race.
On what?
On a luge, I believe it’s called. I don’t even know, but it looks really fun.
What’s a luge? You’re going to see.
Safety first. Grab your helmet. Yes. I’m excited. This is going to be fun.
So, this is a real life version of Mario Karts. This is like a real life Mario Kart, exactly.
You see those cars over there? Oh my gosh, is this what we’re going on?
I suppose.
This is a good beginning.
This is going to be fun. Yeah, let’s go.
Oh gosh.
Come on, Liam. Bring it on! Okay, okay.
I’m fast and furious. She won’t be very confident for long.
I feel like I’m the queen of the jungle right now, rolling through my premises.
Nice ride.
This is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.
I love this. I wish I could have one of these outside my house.
It really was like Mario Karts, wasn’t it? I know! This was fun.
We’ve come out right where there’s a beach. Should we go there?
Oh really? Yeah.
Yeah, let’s check it out. Let’s go to the beach.
Let’s go to the beach. Let’s get away. Hey, hey, what are they gonna say?
There’s the beach. What a nice beach!
Oh, dear. This is nice.
I’m a land person.
Look, they have a bunch of cafes. Do you want to go get a drink?
That sounds good.
This is nice and relaxing - I know -
after an intense race.
Ah, this is lovely. What did you get?
I got pineapple juice. I have mango juice. Mmmm.
Oh yeah. The fruit here is really fresh. It’s really nice.
Yeah.
You know, you can actually do lots of stuff here as well
like jet-skiing, skimboarding and all kinds of things like that as well.
I also noticed that there are a lot of restaurants and at nighttime they turn into beach parties.
Oh, really? Yeah, sounds fun.
This is nice. I’m going to lie down. Life is good.
Oh my gosh, what a day we’ve had, guys.
Make sure you watch the next episode when Maria and I explore the local cuisine here in Singapore.
Bye!
