- We’re leaving Asia and heading back to the US, but before we do, we have a 21 hour layover in Singapore. And this time we’re exploring the city a bit! We tried to squeeze in as much as we could, including Kampong Gelam, Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, the Spectra Light Show, and eating satay at a hawker centre. It was a blast!

A Singaporean here... Just wanna say I like that you guys took some time to introduce each place in such details that you went to, which i do not often see in videos of youtubers who travelled to SG.
Good job to the homework done! 👍🏻
Thank you! ❤❤
I was in Singapore in 2004. I can't believe the huge futuristic changes. Amazing City.👍😊💙🇸🇬
@WanderingTripsFoodies-yn4hc
I am opening up a satay restaurant in rural Malaysia and couldn't think of a good name for it, but you've given me the perfect one - "Satay Roulette". The logo will be a roulette wheel with different sticks of satay instead of the black and red stripes. Thanks!
That is awesome! Glad we could help! We'll send you our address for royalties! 😂 totally joking! The best of luck with your satay restaurant. We hope we can visit one day!
All the best bro. Mind sharing your location? Who knows I’ll be lucky enough to visit some time.
Singapore is a country that I have always wanted to visit ❤
Singapore is from the future. What a super cool city. I loved 😍 both those light shows, the food at the end of the day looked amazing . You two looked so exhausted crawling out of bed 🛌 at the hote before your flight. Kona is the sweetest pup, so excited to see you guys. l
It really does seem like it's from the future! The light shows were really cool and the food was fun. And yes we were super exhausted!
Singapore is so gorgeous and cool! The light show and gardens were just beautiful! Loved the murals and the colorful town. What a fantastic 21 hours! Great job!
We love how the city is so full of gardens and greenery!
Unfortunately due to being sleep deprived I forgot all about the light show in the harbour make sure I see it next time.
Kona!!!! Awww your reunion with her made me tear up ❤ I love your videos
Hey Adam and Kat from Singapore! Chanced upon your channel when I watched your Vietnam adventures last week. Been binging your Alaskan/Canadian adventures ever since. You guys have really opened my eyes to how beautiful and stunning Alaska can be, and I am so thankful to you guys for sharing your adventures with the world. Glad you’ve enjoyed Singapore and if you ever come back here, it’d be my greatest honor to show you guys around!
Hello! We're glad we could share our amazing Alaska and Canada adventures! We had a blast out there and can't wait to go back one day!
We also really enjoyed Singapore! Thank you and thanks for watching!
singapore's weather is probably one of the craziest...one moment you feel like your skin is burning off and you're turning liquid, and the next it could be pouring for hours. anyways this was a great video! it got me as a singaporean to appreciate the amazing country that i live in more! hope you guys get more time in another trip to explore singapore even more and experience the many different cultures, food and attractions here!!
hmmm….weather in Singapore is great in the malls, hotels, trains, taxis and in my home😊
Over the years, I have seen pictures of Singapore and it looked beautiful and modern. Thanks for sharing your 21 hours in Singapore; wonderful video!!
There is nothing better than coming home after a long day of work to a new A+K video. Awesome.
I so enjoyed your journey through Singapore, Vietnam, etc. Not only was I entertained, but I learned a great deal as well. Your enthusiasm comes across. You must be in the 'pinch me zone' realizing that you get to do this and making it work. I'm looking forward to your next adventure. Roll on.
That's awesome! The tree forest was incredible. Just added singapore to my bucket list. You guys packed in a ton in that layover! And your dog was soooooo happy to see you!
The tree forest was spectacular and Singapore is so fun! We were so happy to see our girl Kona! Thank you and thanks for watching!
You guys are so underrated!!! You two do an amazing job. I genuinely enjoy your videos. Your videos are informative, entertaining, with great quality videos.
Thank you!!!
From its stunning skyline to its diverse cultural offerings, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Whether it's the bustling city life, the beautiful gardens, or the delicious food, Singapore has a lot to offer
Singapore looks so futuristic, but I loved all the nature you guys got to see.
Oh my word, Gardens of the Bay looked amazing! We have lots of 'English Gardens' here in England (funnily enough!) and I am impartial to visiting them, but these gardens in Singapore were on a whole other level! The price felt pretty steep, but I guess there's an awful lot of technology, it's not just the plants. The Spectre light show reminded me a lot of Christmas at Kew that Kew Gardens puts on - very cool that it's free as Kew certainly isn't! I hadn't realised just how cool Singapore is. We're flying Singapore Airlines to Vietnam, via Singapore, and now I'm regretting now giving us a longer layover. Maybe next time we head east we do it then!
If you are not visiting the domes or do the skywalk, everything in the Gardens is free.
Wow!! Absolutely stunning!! I really want to go there now!! Thanks for such an amazing video and an awesome channel!! Keep making more of your fantastic videos!!! 🤩
What an amazing city! So much to do and everything looked so modern. I could spend days there! Thanks for taking us along. ❤🎉
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. Singapore is indeed a vibrant and modern city with a wide range of attractions and activities to explore
Amazing that you guys are also able to include so much facts about Singapore and the individual attractions. 💪
This Asia series has been terrific!
Thanks for loving my country
Love your show! Always extremely well prepared and informative. Great job
Thanks for purposely choosing a layover in Singapore. Such a wonderfully done video! Even though you only had a day but you guys still took effort to research a bit of history and background of the places you visited. Awesome! Your dog is so cute :D
What a great video! Thanks for sharing your experience in Asia and presenting it so well - very educational and entertaining. Love your channel!
Oh my word! What an amazing trip you had! Thank you once again for letting us live vicariously through you both! :)
U guys are so good. Explaining everthing in detailed and fliming in a short period of time!
Your adventures in Mexico and Asia are absolutely amazing and we’ve enjoyed them so much! Glad you’re back home with your Kona and I hope you get rested up. ❤
Thank you, Vonda!
Great video Adam and Katie ! That is the coolest way to make up for a flight layover! Singapore is Awesome! Watching Konas reaction was heart warming ! As they say a Dog is a man's best friend ! 🐶❤
Singapore was so amazing! We hope to spend more time there in the future! We were so happy to see our girl, Kona! Thanks, Ernesto!
You continue to tell such beautiful travel stories - thanks again for taking us along in your adventures. For many of us, we'll never be able to visit some of these unique and special places. Yet others will. You make it better for all of us!
This was just AMAZING! It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to watch your videos, but I’ve been binging with plenty of coffee 😂. Have you both thought about what you’re going to after you visit the last 7 states? Maybe revisiting areas you’ve enjoyed the most or more exploring? Or more international travel?
I also finally have a potential short bus to outfit!!! I’m hoping the owner will except my offer, then the fun begins! You both are the ones who inspired and opened my eyes to a different way of life ever since I stumbled on your channel 3-4 years ago. I’ll be documenting my build as well (hoping that the sale goes through), but it would such an honor to meet you guys on the road! Thank you for all you do. God bless and stay safe!
You guys did such a great job with this video!!! Its easily one of the best Singapore travel vids out there!
What an incredible honor to watch and learn about your Vietnam journey! Great episodes as usual A+ K 🧡
Thank you…
Thank you, Donna! ❤
It's my first time seeing one of ur vids and I LOVE IT y'all now are one of my best CZcams vloggers ❤
Thanks for sharing with us! Looks beautiful & amazing! And the food looks delicious 😋
Fantastic video. You two are so well suited for each other. You both are up to trying all kinds of food and love hiking and taking risks. You show us a totally different view of all the locations you visit and this makes us fall in love with all these fabulous places. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. 🌻🐕🥰
We are very lucky and thankful for each other! Your comment means a lot to us! Thank you!
Very fun and informative! Thanks for breaking it down and simplifying how to the place in a short time- you two are great!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Satay street sounds like our kind of place!
Loved the video!! Commentary, editing, and education were so good!
Thank you!
what a gem of a channel! I love how u guys did your research about the places u visit. Hope u guys visit soon!
I love the 20+ hour layovers, you did so much! The gardens looked incredible. And sweet Kona soooo happy to see you *cries*
So do we need to apply for seperate visa if we wanna explore Singapore while having 22 hour layover
Thanks for the glimpse of Singapore. Can't wait to see what you have done to the van, and your further adventures. Until next time... Travel safe.
Thank you for your sharing and contribution. ❤
A grand finale! Fantastic video to end your epic trip to the East. I am sure you guys will have many more. Glad Katherine enjoyed eating Biriyani. Biriyani has a cult like following in that part of the world. Looking forward to more of your travels.
First time watch your channel. I love your funny presentation. Your commentary about the places of interest are so facts packed, informative as well as educational in a professional way.
This video brought back so many memories of my trip there in 2008. I stayed on the street where the first mosque was, and also had murtabak at Zam Zams. But much has changed as well - it was great to see, thanks, Andrew
So many highlights in just 21 hours! You should definitely come back to see what you can experience with a longer visit 😉
We can’t wait to come back!
Love your video! The meticulous details- timestamps, chapters, locations, links- are truly commendable. Appreciate your dedication and hard work.
Thank you and thanks for watching! ❤
I haven’t been to Singapore since before the pandemic, maybe I should pop over there again this summer, it’s such a vibrant city ❤
I will plan to go to Singapore, I've chosen Singapore as a country for my project. This is because Singapore is my dream destination within SE asia.
Adventures of A+K, please visit the Philippines, my home country when you revisit asia in the next following months, and years.
You two kids are so awesome! I enjoy watching your escapades and traveling through your adventures. Thank you for bringing us along on your journeys!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Hey y'all! We've enjoyed watching your Vietnam travels.
Great video. I really appreciate the travel details you shared.
Your bloops just crack me up!! “See our pours”😂😂!
Thanks for taking the 21 hour tour WOW you covered a lot. However, Kona stole the show what a happy pup!! Great video guys! ~Cara ❤
😂
We tried to see as much as we could! We were so happy to see our Kona girl! Thanks, y'all!
You guys are amazing! My wife and I love watching your adventures. We have learned so much, and we have used a lot of your advice on what to do on our vacations. We also love Kona! We have a little Yorkie that we travel with, so we love that you say where the dog friendly trails are. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Wow very cool tour guys and the light shows were stunning
Awesome Video! Love the energy🤩🙌
Loved the Kona greeting!
Amazing what you did in 21 hrs! Great planning!
Looks like a beautiful place to visit , you are so blessed to be able to travel to so many interesting places .
Cool light shows. Your dog at the end. Awe.
So glad it was a great and adventurous time
i love when you show kona's reaction to your homecoming!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed the trip to Asia and Singapore. I bought my overseas friend to tour Singapore for 10 days, which was not enough. Though Singapore is small, there are many places to check out. When you are back in Singapore, I recommend visiting the NUS Baba House, Joo Chiat area, and all the Peranakan culture which is a unique ethnic group. There are also many different communities living in Singapore that you can visit.
Thank you again for taking the time recording the video and editing given your tight schedule. There is also free admission to the night shows in Singapore. Hope you had a great time in Asia and Singapore!
hi guys, so enjoyed your excursions though out asia, that was incredible, so enjoyable, the scenery, the exciting crazy moments, WHOW, what else can I say. The lay over in SIN, words cannot describe the beauty of that city...And now your home, Kona so happy. Time to rest and gather. Looking forward to the next!! Enjoy being home!!!
It was an epic and amazing trip! It was bitter sweet to leave. We were very excited to get home to our girl Kona, but so sad to leave Asia! Thank you!
Coolest layover ever! Singapore is definitely worth spending at least a week to discover all its marvels.
Totally agree!
Congrats on a fabulous trip to SE Asia. I must get there someday. Kona sure was glad to see mom and dad. Thanks for sharing.
It was bitter sweet leaving Asia, but we were so happy to get home to our Kona girl!
Thanks for your travels. After seeing them, the US has a lot of catching up to do. Wow! Singapore!
Singapore and everywhere we visited in Asia were 💯 can't wait to go back!
Oh wow! Amazing!. I think you had a best lay over. ✌
Another great video ty
Good window shopping in Singapore hey !
I love how big foodies yall are !!! Love all videos A + K
Welcome to Singapore!🤩🤗
What a trip! We were amazed by all that you guys got see and do! We are heading to Alaska Tuesday! Crossing the border Mid-Day Tuesday! 😳 You were our inspiration!
Woohoo! We're so excited for you! Have a great and safe trip!
I'm impressed by all your research shared live during your experiences n not post edited (not that there's anything wrong with that) but most wud jus capture the scenes then add the voice over facts after. Glad u loved my country ❤
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the series. Welcome Back to the USA.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Super cool city!
Look forward to your return trip
Great Time Management
Kona really missed you & Adam! The Singapore Airport was beautiful. Enjoyed seeing the water shows, & especially loved the tree themed show. Coincidence, my new pjs are made in Vietnam. The nicest material, comfortable. I really enjoyed your Asia trip. Hope you have a nice Memorial Day.
We missed her terribly too! It was bitter sweet coming home, but Kona was definitely the sweet!
Comfy Vietnamese pjs for the win!
Thank you and thanks for watching, Kimberly!
You are living my dream life!
Awe we missed Kona. Canada trips next!
We were so happy to see our girl! Canada soon!
Last Asia video?! Noooo…say it isn’t so! 😭 Loved this series so much! Glad you made it home safely to Kona 🐶 Thank you!
It was an epic trip! We were very sad to leave, but we know we'll be back! And we were so happy to see our Kona girl! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Awesome watching your video on SIN, love the reseach done on the history. 🙂👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Great job!
Well done, yet again! Get some good west and wewaxation!
Thank you for loving the Vietnamese country ❤
That ending
Love love loved watching you experience Singapore for the first time (this video and the first). We're lucky, being in Perth it's just a 4.5 hour flight so Singapore's a regular spot for us (about to head up for the 12th time). Super cool to see you at ZamZam - next time try their chicken murtabak, it is divine!
Oh wow that's so cool! We can't wait to visit more of that part of the world! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I had seen photos of Singapore but had no idea!!
A fast and fun 21 hours in Singapore! Loved it all! ❤
Wow sweet was your reunion was with Kona?!🥰
Thank you!
We were just as happy to see her as she was us! So glad to be back with our Kona girl!
Had a very nice tour in Singapore in 1994. It looks very different now, with lots of new stuff. Perhaps it's time to check it out again. Must be n times better than then.
Really not easy for you to make such a good quality clip even though you had a short number of hours
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I love that you guys showed an older, more traditional neighborhood in addition to the main tourist areas. I recently went to Dubai, which gives me pretty similar vibes, and the modern areas were very cool, but my favorite area was the old part of the city. Sometimes as tourists, it's easy to forget the history of these futuristic cities, so thanks for sharing that with us.
Also P.S. I, too, have failed to keep a succulent alive. I'm relieved I'm not the only one. 😂
We always love visiting the older parts of major cities, probably even more than the newer areas!
Those dang succulents! 😂
I bet Chrono would love satay!! Come back now, y'hear!!
The hawker centres here do offer food within the $5 range. Most bus interchanges are near the hawker centre. I recommend those near the East side( Tampines, Bedok, etc), the chicken rice and the Mee Soto there are the best.
We loved this trip video series! It looks like you all just traveled with backpacks. Is that right? I’d love a video about what you pack etc for a trip like this!
SAME! PLEASE TEACH US HOW TO PACK 🥲♥️
Hi Kim! We created a guide on our website for planning a trip to Vietnam where we talk about how we packed for our trip. It includes a link to our general packing list plus highlights specific items you'll want to bring with you to Asia.

Hope that helps! Thanks and thanks for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Fantastic! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Reminds me of a combination Disney-Epcot-Las Vegas strip on steroids. Really enjoyed traveling with you two. I also teared up when reunited with Kona. Glad to see you home safely. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Yeah we can see that comparison! It was bitter sweet leaving Asia, but we were so happy to see our Kona girl!
You guys are from Texas ? I from Houston but living in Québec now. I'm planning a 6 week trip to Vietnam and some surrounding countries so I fell on your video.....excellent job guys !
