so we aren't in thailand anymore and for the first time in six months we're in a brand new country
i think it's gonna be expensive here but before i take you out to explore let me explain how we got
here we've lived in thailand for the last six months so to get to singapore we packed up our
apartment in chiang mai we returned our rental bike and we got to the international airport to
stand in a big long line we checked in our bags we scanned our fingerprints and then we had a little
scare when trying to leave i think we accidentally overstayed our visa we didn't overstay at all we
just couldn't count our days right then it hit me that i was leaving and i got a little bit sad
just don't know oh my gosh i'm excited but i'm sad okay let's get on the plane then we got on
the plane touched it for good luck of course and settled into our seat for our flight this thing
okay well i guess this is it feels weird it feels so weird for decompression remove your
face faster three hours later we landed and came out into singapore airport wow
and everything then we had to do a really long walk this is a really long walk through the
airports immigration and arrivals so just waiting to get through the immigration line now it's quite
long we collected our bags and i got really excited this is exciting then i spotted the
famous waterfall in the airport for the very first time what when it goes whoa it goes like down
that's crazy then we got a car out of the airport through singapore city straight to our hotel
and here we are in our tiny hotel room in singapore for the next few days before we
move on to our next destination but before i take you to the merlion marina bay sands and around
singapore city let me show you the room okay so we are about to go and get our sim card some food
go and walk on the streets i haven't been in singapore before so i'm so excited but first i
thought i'd give you a little room tour of where we're staying so this is the entrance and then
that's the tour this is literally it so we've got a bed there they said it was a queen i'm doubting
that i feel like it's a double right against the wall now i actually really like closed spaces so
i'm totally okay with this michael isn't he likes a big place but we have the shower in this room
here literally it's just a open wall and then there's the shower it's like a hole in the wall
or something there's no like separate room nothing and then if you go a little bit further this way
there's no room to turn around that's the toilet one as well so yeah look there's not a lot of room
in here so it's a very very very small area for your bed but i think that we're just gonna be
out exploring most of the time that we're here anyway so it's really just for sleeping but it's
very small smallest rumor i've ever stayed in let me know in the comments could you stay in
a room like this or not let's go get some food let's go outside i'm really excited so masks are
not a requirement here outside anymore after being in a mass for six months back in thailand it does
feel nice to be able to like breathe in the air as as weird as that sounds but my first impressions
this is so beautiful this is a beautiful city it's a beautiful road everything's like lush and green
this is really cool this is a nice walk to where we're gonna get our sim card and go from there
we're in singtel right now in one of the malls here and just so you know we were at the airport
and they had them but if you didn't pre-pay or buy them ahead of time they were fifty dollars
for a sim card um so if you bought them online anywhere between like 12 or 15
if you pre-buy so make sure you pre-buy so you're not paying more than double the price the malls
here are crazy like is it better than thailand i don't know i think i like both of them but
this one feels a little more like home for me for some reason i don't know what it is
there's some shops here that i recognize some that are new some that we don't have at home
and there's some rock climbing right in the middle of the store right now as well this is so crazy
they're so tall there's so much here like so much here this city is so beautiful i've never
been here before and michael says that we need to go and see marina bay sands so we're just gonna
head down there now and have a have a look and what it's like down there so pretty so far though
so we just caught the mrt which is the train station or the train line all the way to sort
of downtown where you can see marina bay sands in the background there and we're just heading
to the merlion now so kind of reminds me of darling harbour at home in australia but let's
go have a look at the merlion i think that's one of the most touristy or things that you do when
you come to singapore as well as see marina bay sands like there in the background let's go have
a look at the merlin and so here we are walking along the bay uh with the marina bay sands in the
background and someone's getting wedding photos back there that's how pretty it is i feel like
everyone comes together their wedding photos here we saw people a couple of people get their waiting
photos at the jewel as well at the airport singapore's just a beautiful place but we're
just walking along to get to the merlion and not a bad view to deal with to be honest so pretty
here i can't believe it everything's so pretty it's so bright green vibrant it's really cool
so we're walking along the water and there's like boats everywhere in the harbour it's really cool
we actually got distracted and we started having a drink and just overlooked marina bay sands
we're just on the way now to see the merlin and i think we're quite close okay whoa there it is
oh it's like really small
that's it there i fell where is it that's it that's it that's it
let's get right out on the edge okay all right let's go
oh
there is a lot of people here like instagram vs reality there is so many people here i don't think
it's like six o'clock at night i don't know when you'd ever be able to get here on your
own this is crazy people are like waiting for you to take photos and stuff but there's always
going to be someone in your shot i think i don't know come during the day or something i don't
know why is it probably early morning all right that's enough everyone else is having their turn
back there i think we might stop maybe get an ice cream but it's almost dinner time so
we have to head somewhere for some food if you're morning people i think like seven
o'clock in the morning you get the light that'll be awesome over there probably some good views
from the morning light we're not morning people so we're not going to show you that
let's go get some food and then i'll see you there but today has been an amazing arrival or first
impression or whatever it is my first landing day singapore's great is what i'm trying to say
okay perfect okay okay okay so we've come back from the bay and we
were really really really hungry well i've never been to singapore before so i
wasn't sure where to go what to do what to do for food but we saw this place on the side of
the corner heading back from where we were coming from to our hotel where we're staying and it was
quite cheap well for singapore i guess with a coke as well it cost me five dollars and ten cents just
for one meal it's a lot more than we're used to coming from thailand but it's quite cheap for
being here in singapore uh and it's probably the closest thing i could find to street food
right now i got a chicken sort of cutlet on some rice with some sweet and sour sauce so let's try
this one i think michael's also went and got me a milo if you're new to my channel welcome i have
milo in thailand all the time i discovered it now i think there's one here that i'm gonna try
to try this milo singapore style i guess oh it's still warm in the bottom give it a mix up
oh okay okay that tastes more like i don't know milo from home i don't know it doesn't
have the same like condensed milk sort of like mixed up style as as thailand did it's sort of
more just milo in a cup if that makes sense it tastes so different it tastes like melted
milo rather than like a milo um from thailand i have to say i think i like them from thailand
a lot better so this is cha cu and it's with some rice and then some meat on the top with
like a brown dark sort of sauce as well the chassis is more popular um sort of in
singapore malaysian chinese communities i mean i'm sure it's in china as well but i've never
been to china so i don't know about that so i have the chicken cutlet on a bed of rice here
that's good but there are these like seeds on the side of my plate that i've never seen before
i don't know what they are can maybe michael do you know what they are anchovies this is here in
um singapore malaysia indonesia you'll always find this with traditionally with like a nasi
lemak or something like that so if you get a little bit of the nuts or the seeds with the
fried anchovies and put it in with your chicken and your rice it tastes really good it actually
makes the dish taste really nice it's worth trying if you see on the side of your plate it's
like nothing obviously from the nuts but i think there's more like salt in there as well it's kind
of like when you have like some kind of like salty thing in there it does change the dish it makes it
puts in a whole bunch more flavors in there it does make a big difference so we finished
dinner and we're walking back to our hotel right now we have a big day planned tomorrow
and another one after that it's my first like day in singapore but i was only sort of here for half
a day uh we got here really late afternoon so i'm really excited to explore a little bit more
tomorrow and see what else there is but what an amazing city right it's so beautiful here
it's so lovely i really like it i was nervous and a little bit scared to leave thailand but it's so
good exploring new things and yeah i really like it so make sure you like and subscribe
