Welcome to Singapore. We have four action-packed days planned in this amazing country.
Jamie and I are very excited to explore everything this city-state has to offer.
This video is our first impressions, we hope that you enjoy.
We made it, we've arrived in Singapore and we have arrived in Singapore. We are currently
walking, it's only a 20 minute walk to our hotel and we are very very excited to be here.
Just walked down a very very cool street, lots of art, lots of music, lots of bars, very nice.
So the first thing that we've noticed is it's a lot cooler here than it was in Kuala Lumpur
which is very good for us but as you can see
it's a bit cloudy so hopefully it is not going to rain on our walk now.
Okay we have checked into our hostel now after great difficulty locating it
hidden on the street but we found it. We have showered and we're ready to explore now. Our first
day in Singapore, we're very very excited to be here. Both of our first times, never been here
before, never never never really heard about it before before coming to South East Asia a few
years ago so just super excited to see it. Yeah first thing for us now is we need an ATM to get
some money because we have no money whatsoever and we need a drink because we're very thirsty
so let's try and find something. If you have seen our Georgetown videos you may have noticed that we
also stayed in Little India when we were there as well. We weren't actually planning on staying on
in Little India here in Singapore, we just happened to book a hostel that was there
and they're very very similar. The first thing I noticed is basically it's very very colourful,
exactly the same as it was in Little India in Georgetown. The smells are amazing. Apart from
this, Little India is a lot busier. There's so many people walking around and sitting down on
the grass and just hanging out I guess. Okay there's the ATM, let's go. How do we get inside?
We don't know. Automatic door? Wow you have the magic to open the door. So we've just finished
on that Harje lane, Harje street. It's really cool, it really reminded me of like Carnaby street in
London. Just bars, loads of colour, loads of art. There were really cool thrift stores, I really
like that there but a bit too expensive for us I think. We're definitely going to be trying to do
so yeah I think we'll miss that one for tonight. Look at this building, it's obviously an optical
illusion that looks like it's this thick. Very strange, it must be a triangle. It's taking us
so long to get to our destination because we're getting stuck at this traffic light,
this traffic light and now this one here again as well so it's really hard to cross the road.
We're lost, we're lost. Jamie doesn't think we're lost. We know where we're going, we can see it.
We're going towards this big boy but we don't know how to get there and we've kind of just
been walking through like a building site for the last like five minutes and we have made it.
It is a much more manageable temperature here than the whole of Malaysia so I'm very grateful for
that but alas even though it is more manageable I'm still sweating because we just walked for
like half an hour but we have made it. We are down by the marina bay I believe it's called
and this is just absolutely fantastic. This is one of the most breathtaking things I've ever
viewed in my life. Let me show you. Look at this, this is amazing. I don't even know what this
building is here. This is absolutely incredible. Wow, simply breathtaking. Okay what's the plan
Jamie? I need a drink, I need some ice cream and then I'm gonna sit down and rest my weary legs.
Stop complaining, stop complaining. Wow, wow, wow, look at these flavours.
I don't know what to get. There's too many things to look at. A large ice cream, one to three scoops
nine dollars thirty so I don't know I'm not very good at the conversion straight away. I think
around about six or seven pounds which is pretty expensive for ice cream but what can you do we're
in Singapore we're on holiday. Now this is time to sit down by the water and relax. So we've just
finished sitting down finished our ice cream we're gonna try and cross this bridge to get over to the
other little part of the bay to go and see the most famous sights of Singapore that I don't know
I can already see them they are so impressive so beautiful I'm loving it here so far I can't
wait to explore more. Complete and utter chaos to get up to the sky deck wow the chaos. We've infiltrated
the inside of this fancy hotel this is very very nicely air-conditioned in here because it's getting
very humid out there it seems to be getting warmer the later the day goes on which is strange but
well we're trying to actually get through to go down to the the back the bay whatever the hell
it's called we're lost it's very big in here so we went quickly down into the food court we got
some drinks Aidan has boring water and I've got a nice lemon iced tea it was five dollars seventy
five dollars seventy we'll put it up here so so far we're trying to uh stay on budget we didn't
grab any food because we're running late we're trying to find spectra which I heard is this
really cool light show but we're stuck in this massive mall right now um no shopping for us it's
way too expensive with the designer brands but yeah we're just checking on this to see if we can
find it I'm not sure though well that was absolutely amazing actually a little bit emotional
just like the light and the sound and the colors that was really really beautiful and I just liked
that it was there for no reason other than to be there completely free to go yeah that was
really really nice yeah it does eight and nine o'clock a lot of show times every night
um gets really busy so get there a little bit early but everyone just kind of piles in anyway
and you can see so now we are taking a brisk walk to go and get some dinner I think we're
gonna head back through that hardy lane and see if we can find any deals and if not we can
definitely find food in little India right yes so that's the plan we're gonna make it there
see you in a minute maybe a bit longer than a minute but for you only a minute
so that Mexican food we just ate was absolutely delicious um it's funny I know it's not very
Singaporean but it's uh delicious um nonetheless it was late we were walking down the street
anyway so we thought we'll have a nice table for two and we answered yes so we are stuffed
full of uh carbs and cheese we are taking the quick walk home I think let's end it here
yeah we've done so much today we only arrived at about half three this afternoon and already I'm
like exhausted yes very much from just walking around but I've had the best day I'm so happy to
be here I feel like this is a once in a lifetime kind of city to visit country to visit and I'm
loving it yes I completely agree it's been absolutely amazing we've had so much fun and
I cannot wait for the next few days to just carry on having so much fun so if you enjoyed this video
