Hiya, not sure if this is fake news or the truth but is it true that SF have the highest number of homeless people and drug addicts are everywhere? Was looking at another clip and they were showing how bad SF is. Thanks
I came to Singapore 6 months ago from Japan. Your videos are so profitable for my learning English because your English is so clear that I can easily understand. Moreover, I can learn many things about this country. So I hit 2 birds by one stones!
I love this comparison! We can also only get 2 rolls for $50 here on Maui 😂 so pricey for sushi. Singapore sounds like so much fun and overall really great place to live 💕
oh seriously??? Maui is so expensive? i thought honolulu is the expensive place 😂 i thought Maui is more for retirement with lower price tag..... i'm shocked 😱
Well said, that in Singapore you have a choice how cheaply you want to live (like a local) or how expensive (like an expat). If you must have alcohol, French cheese, Angus beef, fine dining, landed housing, a car etc it will be expensive. But if you’re willing to live like a local ie take public transport, stay in an apartment, eat in hawker centres and food courts/kopitiam, it can be quite cheap compared to big cities in the West.
Sg is also strategically located, if you're bored of the city, you can jump off to any SEAsian country within a max 3 hours flight, and come back to the safety of SG after your SEAsian adventure., well, at least in the pre-Covid era. There are still plenty to do in SG, you just need to be creative in your choices of activities.
I have been an American Tour Manager. SFO is becoz Asian Chinese community is encouraging..I love it as an interesting City on a hill with songs n movies made on it - the cable cars that climb up the hills into the mist made it so romantic day n night... it’s like Venice - sexy songy city...but I ll not live there as a city but won’t mind as a tourist or just couple days job showing people the exciting city that caters to fun in 49 square mile & it’s little history & background laces... a little of my heart giddy up as it leaps into a song -
Hi Dennis, thanks for visiting my video again and thanks for visiting SF. Indeed, many cities are nice to visit and not necessarily good to live in. i usually separate "good to live" vs "good to visit" as well. see you again on another video!
personal safety in Singapore is definitely better. i enjoyed walking back late at night without fear of being robbed or followed by homeless druggies in SF. tbh Sg is like a perfect little safe spot with great food and fantastic transport system. after living in Sydney for more than a decade, i really look forward to going back to Sg anytime i can, now i can't due to covid.
That's pretty cool! similar to my own situation too. I think you saw my previous video that i talked about COVID got stuck and waiting to go back? I'll put a link below. btw, i lived in sydney before too :) czcams.com/video/HaWozYD2Muo/video.html
😃 Thank you! yes it can be beautiful when the weather is nice :) Most of the time it's foggy and dry up these days. today there was another earthquake.
SG is one of the best & safest in earth and very handy, though expensive but indirectly cheap and faster - people are friendly and no chance of any racism compare to other cities in earth
HK artistes r great, and young people r helpful. But my vacation experiences in HK had been marred by the hurried ways of people in the hospitality sector. At restaurants and food places, it was quite alarming to see rude waiters shouting at customers who are slow in ordering or over-stay their welcome.
I left my ♥️ in San Francisco ...high on a hill it calls to me... SFO is 49 square miles - a windy romantic city ... see it, sing it & feel it ... but I guess it just be a holiday visit...
@@TheKrazyKoala u like to join us after your Saturday 4pm meeting .. maybe Bukit Timah hill Summit climb from 545 pm or later prata 730 pm at Al-Azhar, 11 cheong chin nam rd near courts bukit timah... n final climb up bukit batok hill's shonan legacy steps ?
Another great video Ashley. I’m sure some negative comment won’t affect you, right? Just like your previous video say “I don’t care what others think”. They can have their opinions, but I would like to see more of your video with your own point of view. Waiting for more video from you. Cheers!
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ Andy. Yup. No problem at all. It’s freedom of speech. Feel free to express their own opinions. Everyone is welcome. Nothing is personal. Btw. My name is the Krazy koala 🐨 or u can call me KK or koala
Hiking is one of my favourite pass time. Due to weather and available landscape and scenery I dont hike in Singapore. But if i have a week in Melbourne - i would cover - these 7 mountain hikes 1. Grampians 2. Wilson Proms 3. You Yangs 4. Dandenong ranges 5. Cathedral Ranges 6. Pipe Organ National Park 7. Warrandyte State Park I want to clear my leave please!
Avoid places to that might have earthquake, like west coast US, Japan, New Zealand, etc. Those are nice places for tourists, not for a living. Although it will not happen even in your lifetime, but one time occur is more than enough.
I think foreigners cannot own house directly in thailand, you can do it thru a company or if you have a thai spouse it has to be under their name. You can own condo units directly but again not more than 49% of the condo project basically they don't want foreigners to have majority in anything. As for cheap living standards I find indonesia to be way lot cheaper but same problem with buying houses no foreign ownership except long 30yr lease or buy condos. Weather in chiang mai is nice, weather in indonesia hot but can be crazy hot until like lose appetite.
I love San Francisco but not to live. And I can't really compare it to Singapore as I've only been there once for less than a week and so I certainly didn't live there but it sure does make a good impression.
I was passing by SFO back and forth, tried the boiled Alaska crab once and never come back for second trial. Living in Pleasanton and working in SCLA with snail crowing speed along 101/880 in the morning. Really enjoying my good time was there having fun with San Jose Vietnamese pho (coffee house too) and Korean BBQ near San Thomas or tried my luck at Asian market near Milpitas. Still passing by day by day but never think of have a longer stop in SFO. Several years that was again experiencing more offices for least, Santa Cruz has shrunk significantly on visitors. Going forth, I continue enjoy Chinese, middle east and Muslim food at Xi'An now.. I won't know where will I heading next, but I know the good time is today what you have.
Koala, You have such a pleasant demeanor. Agree here, been wanting to move out of San Francisco for some time. It comes down to having family and long-time friends in the Bay Area, otherwise I would have already left and gone back to Los Angeles. Actually moved to the suburbs of SF last year and enjoy the cleanliness and safety near SFO airport. Still have mixed feelings about the Bay Area, especially how spread out it is and how that affects everyone's social life. Angus
I love SG and I really enjoy your perspective. I do want to point out, though, that the cheaper food in SG is not a choice but a must for many. I'm not gonna go into politics but there are many in SG who earn way less than the SF minimum wage which I believe is around USD15? Do you hike in the hills alone? Do you feel safe doing it? Do take care. :) Oh, and I'm not being sexist or anything but taxi uncles are more helpful to attractive ladies. Just saying. Haha
hahaha..... i love taxi uncles. very nice people! i feel ok to hike in SF, you usually see people in the trail. when i say choice, meaning, you can choose to live expensive if you can afford, and to choose to live cheap if you can't afford or you want to live that way.
Cisco without a doubt! There nothing to do or see in sillypore. Cost of living is much higher in sillypore for the same quality of living. On a balanced scorecard, Cisco wins hands down.
I visited SF back in 2018... Here's my impression as a Singaporean, on stuff other than those mentioned in the video. -The streets smelled like piss. The moment I stepped off the bus it hit me. -So. Many. Homeless people!!! Especially around union square. (Though the one that struck me was actually in Hollywood, where I saw some just lying on the ground in broad daylight like they had given up on light.) -The hills are crazy but great for exercise. -The food made me feel sick, though it might be an American problem in general cos the portions are so large. Though I was pretty amused to see American-sized wonton mee vs the normal sizes ones in Singapore. -I stayed in the Green Tortoise hostel and was amused at the high prevalence of mainland Chinese workers (cleaners etc). I chatted with one - she was from Guangzhou, and I found it interesting how she used Cantonese inflection for half the words instead of the Mandarin one. -Super windy and chilly esp in those areas near the sea -Outdoors is great
hahaha i found it pretty amused to read your comments. i think you are pretty spot on, and it seems that ever since you visited, it hasn't changed much. i mean, for people who never lived in Singapore, they probably would not think of any of these points that you mentioned, because it's pretty normal to them. but SG people can see it more obvious, since we've lived in SG :)
I'm Singaporean living in SF for decades, America is not that good only for the weather, very expensive to see a doctor or dentist if you don't have insurance and health insurance is also very expensive the older you become, you will go bankrupt if you got cancer and don't have health insurance in America.
Hello K. Nice to meet u.totally agree. I made a video about healthcare cost making your bankrupt in SF. Have you seen? I’ll leave a link below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel too 😁czcams.com/video/m_csyY2VMjQ/video.html
In SG ... you have to wait 3 to 5 months in public healthcare for specialist visits Eg for Ca, only after you had 1st visited the public GP clinic to get a referral. Medical insurance rises exponentially with age.
@@yippeelee209 My mother-in-law had cancer and had to go for Chemo every few weeks for many months, each costing $3000. Fortunately, it's fully covered by insurance. And no, our family is not wealthy, just regular folks.
@@kianmetarudesu9572 Yes you can, but not the kind that she showed on the video. The question was - how much for the same 2 rolls of sushi in Singapore?
@@kianmetarudesu9572 I understand your answer but it does not answer the question. If you know the answer - depends on where you get it from, then say where and how much - and compare. Otherwise, don't distract and talk about $1.50 sushi that no one asked about.
I don't agree with you till you mention at least you have choices to live in expensive or simple life style. Yes. In Singapore you can choose to eat in fair price hawker centre or ordinary restaurant instead of the expensive one.
awww... that was what i thought too. then I recently made a video about SF exodus, living on Mars. have you seen that video on my channel? Please do subscribe and check out my other Singapore/SF videos too. I think you will be able resonate with my experiences in those videos! cheers!
In Singapore, u can find extremes in foods, but generally the hawker foods are the best and easy on pocket 😄 After so many years away from home, I'm looking forward to looking out for value eats! U should join me soon! Lol 😂
@@TheKrazyKoala most BCM are found in hawker centers or coffee shops. If you are referring to comfortable seating environment..only foodcourts can allow that. Hmm..lol.
@@jasonh4905 I always eat hawker by myself. Rarely meet frds in hawker lol. If I meet people, I go to a plc where we can talk and hear each other. Do u meet frds in hawker?
Haha. You should check this video which I talked about people saying boring, then I offered other perspectives. czcams.com/video/HaWozYD2Muo/video.html
Haha, I've never been to Galong, although it's a well known place for foreign workers. Please share more interesting things you experienced in Singapore here, like history, culture, religion and so on. High quality video!
@@TheKrazyKoala haha, ok, let me try my best to describe it to you. It's a sunny afternoon, let's say you're walking along a street, then feel tired and then lean on the wall to have a break, but suddenly the wall is broken into two parts and know what? a bar appears in front of you!
It’s amazing that you can live like a Singaporean after you have been in the US for years. 中國是個央央大國,美國也是一個富強的國家。你的世界观改變了,格局也變小了。能夠改變也真不容易。既然美國那麼的大怎么会沒有一個地方適合人的居住?You must compare apple to apple. 食住環境生活品質花同樣的錢有同等的價值嗎?我要在新加坡過美國那樣的舒適生活必須要多花五倍的價錢甚至更多。就拿工資一項最重要的基本生活條件來説,新加坡能跟美國比嗎?百分之八十的新加坡人住政府組屋,薪水只夠吃小販。想周末旅行只能大坡去小坡,小坡去大坡。Orchard or Marina bay 而已。有什麼生活樂趣?你去當新加坡人好了。祝福你生活愉快!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I actually have the opposite views from yours... for people to live in the same life quality as Singapore, you need to spend 3X more in SF and NYC. I talked about it here: czcams.com/video/m_csyY2VMjQ/video.html
It's amazing how comparing San Francisco to Singapore is not consider comparing apple to apple since both are top tier cities. It's seems u are the one holding a very narrow and bias view. Oh I'm pretty sure 80% Singaporean middle class can afford multiple short trips vacation in a year and the weekly restaurants if they want to. And if they were to sell thier "government flats", that money can also buy them decent properties in your so call top countries
@@larrylok7178 Everyone have different opinion about quality of life. Someone feels that $50 for a cup of Civet Cat Coffee is quality, but others feel that a $1.20 Kopi Gao is Haven. We all have different preference for life and let’s respect each other’s choice 😊😊
Girl, you have a weird character. You are cynical, always doing soul-searching, always unhappy. I don't know how to advise you? (I am a local Singaporean.) Take care.
as always, i'm being misunderstood. I'm happy and i don't need any advice. Btw, self discovery is for people with mental calmness and self improvement. you don't reflect, only when you are unhappy. if you don't reflect, that means you probably won't be happy anyway, because you don't understand yourself. anyway, if you have seen my video here, which i talk about what happiness means to me and that i mentioned i'm really happy 😊 in life. czcams.com/video/54zcMaoG28U/video.html

HK is no longer safe because of the youth. Singapore all the way... I don’t need my freedom of speech, press and public assembly. PAP all the way.
Mainlandization is around the globe !?
Get even more delicious sushi in Japan for $10 ! ...real sushi !
Safety is very important factor when considering where to live.👍👏💪

@@kianmetarudesu9572 I understand your answer but it does not answer the question. If you know the answer - depends on where you get it from, then say where and how much - and compare. Otherwise, don't distract and talk about $1.50 sushi that no one asked about.
I don't agree with you till you mention at least you have choices to live in expensive or simple life style.
Yes. In Singapore you can choose to eat in fair price hawker centre or ordinary restaurant instead of the expensive one.
oh haha thank you for paying attention and being a great audience😉
Happy hour in SF after work is literally impossible! have to leave work at 3pm just to have a shot at catching a drink!
lol. you have done that before?
Yes...worst traffic ever! But the only other alternatives are taking caltrain which sucks, or just live in SF and pay $5k/month rent 🙄
@@CoCo-rj7qr 🤣🤣🤣too expensive for me.
Are you still in the Bay Area? I need to visit when all this Covid madness is over. Mum still lives there.
yes :) do you live nearby?
You will love singapore only if u enjoy stablity without much disruption. Singapore can never be like silicon valley.
Of course Singapore can never be like silicon valley. They are totally different countries and different cities. How can they ever be the same ?:)
any idea about Grand Rapids MI?
Yes. There are plenty of Trump supporters and militias there. Stay away if possible.
oh haha i never lived there. Thanks for subscribing. see you on another video
i lived in Singapore few years ago, that time i thought SF was a dream city, but now i realize how wrong i was. thank you for the video!
awww... that was what i thought too. then I recently made a video about SF exodus, living on Mars. have you seen that video on my channel? Please do subscribe and check out my other Singapore/SF videos too. I think you will be able resonate with my experiences in those videos! cheers!
@@TheKrazyKoala i've watched the video about you leaving SF.. and yes, i've subscribed to your channel.
@@fluffyblanket1398 thank you! do you still live in SF? where are you now?
@@TheKrazyKoala sorry, i already slept last night. i never lived in SF, only visited the city few years ago. now i live in Toronto, Canada.
@@fluffyblanket1398 oh it must be so cold up there in Toronto. i still remember my school days in NYC :)
you have my respect for sure.Lets hope my daughters subscribe to your channel too.
Oh wow haha thank you for bringing your family over to my channel
In Singapore, u can find extremes in foods, but generally the hawker foods are the best and easy on pocket 😄 After so many years away from home, I'm looking forward to looking out for value eats! U should join me soon! Lol 😂
hahaha what's the first food you will be taking me to?
@@TheKrazyKoala Eat my favorite BCM hehe
@@jasonh4905 any BCM in a good seating environment for people to hang out?
@@TheKrazyKoala most BCM are found in hawker centers or coffee shops. If you are referring to comfortable seating environment..only foodcourts can allow that. Hmm..lol.
@@jasonh4905 I always eat hawker by myself. Rarely meet frds in hawker lol. If I meet people, I go to a plc where we can talk and hear each other. Do u meet frds in hawker?
Was in San Francisco twice, oh man. Just look at the Bus Station Toilet door, the homeless even dismantle it to burn.
awwwww :( unfortunately it is like that. do you live in SG now?
Been both and I live in Sf and loved it, SG is so boring.
Haha. You should check this video which I talked about people saying boring, then I offered other perspectives. czcams.com/video/HaWozYD2Muo/video.html
Hello. Do you agree that personality type can change?
i think so. btw, does this question relate to this video? 😆 or this is more for my INTJ video and other self discovery videos?
The Krazy Koala More for INTJ video. Haha.
@@freeze111201 oh haha ok I was confused. Thx for watching my INTJ video. I love doing personality videos 🤗
Hello pretty how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful day with your families ✨✨
Hope we can be friends
Yeah but I can chew gum and criticize the government if i wish to in SF
haha you like chewing gum? That makes my jaw joint painful.
And now, you could Add storming the capitol to the list!
@@mic5391 oh haha I added the storming Capitol news story to the other video here too. czcams.com/video/HaWozYD2Muo/video.html
Singapore is my Dream land

@@TheKrazyKoala sure la. You take care and stay safe. God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏
@@BHUTAN_1616 god bless you too!!!
Pretty lady

@@TheKrazyKoala beautiful
Lets whatsapp
Singapore is to live in - SFO IS HOLIDAY tour only
Maybe 🤔 you are right 🤭🥰
Hell is better then San Francisco
😂
Haha, I've never been to Galong, although it's a well known place for foreign workers. Please share more interesting things you experienced in Singapore here, like history, culture, religion and so on. High quality video!
thank you ZJ. 😉 i'll continue to share more with you! btw, it's not galong. it's geylang :)
@@TheKrazyKoala haha, anyway, you know what I mean. Do you know the hiden bar here?
@@zjcheng9867 define “hidden” plz. I think there are quite a lot. Lol
@@TheKrazyKoala haha, ok, let me try my best to describe it to you. It's a sunny afternoon, let's say you're walking along a street, then feel tired and then lean on the wall to have a break, but suddenly the wall is broken into two parts and know what?
a bar appears in front of you!
@@zjcheng9867 hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 maybe I’ll msg u when I run into a wall like this?
🙏🙏🙏
😁
If you think SF is spread out, try LA !
haha yes
@@TheKrazyKoala Thank you for your reply. I am now following your Instagram.
Sg is too hot to live...yaks...
haha NYC is even hotter. it can go up to 110 F or 40 C. SG is constant.
You Nice
Thanks !!!! 😊 Don’t forget to subscribe and check out my other Singapore/SF videos too.
新加坡政府在处理游民跟乐龄贫苦人士问题应该会比美国好!起码不会像你视频的游民在街边住在帐篷里露宿街头!新加坡政府有帮助贫穷人解决住宿问题!符合要求的贫穷人士政府会补贴安排住在小单位的组屋!一个月大概是新币$50-$80,地点还不错哦,有些在牛车水市中心
😀😀好棒。一个月才$50?
See in her perform is not look like FBI CIA mossad or spy intelegen
👍🙏
hahaha happy weekend!!!
You just have only one topic.😀
Everyone wants SG video!
Becouse you are ASIA
Nice.... Hello.. I want to roam... Singapore... You can help us?
i think many singaporeans here can help you :)
Why, so
@@pankajkapoor5383 Singapore is lion🦁 city, we'll roam ourselves! 😆
True..
@Jason Chew true...
Well, you don't need to download "Snapcrap" Singapore!
Thanks to Joe Biden, taxes will go up.
Maybe you can consider moving abroad :)
It’s amazing that you can live like a Singaporean after you have been in the US for years. 中國是個央央大國,美國也是一個富強的國家。你的世界观改變了,格局也變小了。能夠改變也真不容易。既然美國那麼的大怎么会沒有一個地方適合人的居住?You must compare apple to apple. 食住環境生活品質花同樣的錢有同等的價值嗎?我要在新加坡過美國那樣的舒適生活必須要多花五倍的價錢甚至更多。就拿工資一項最重要的基本生活條件來説,新加坡能跟美國比嗎?百分之八十的新加坡人住政府組屋,薪水只夠吃小販。想周末旅行只能大坡去小坡,小坡去大坡。Orchard or Marina bay 而已。有什麼生活樂趣?你去當新加坡人好了。祝福你生活愉快!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I actually have the opposite views from yours... for people to live in the same life quality as Singapore, you need to spend 3X more in SF and NYC. I talked about it here: czcams.com/video/m_csyY2VMjQ/video.html
It's amazing how comparing San Francisco to Singapore is not consider comparing apple to apple since both are top tier cities.
It's seems u are the one holding a very narrow and bias view.
Oh I'm pretty sure 80% Singaporean middle class can afford multiple short trips vacation in a year and the weekly restaurants if they want to.
And if they were to sell thier "government flats", that money can also buy them decent properties in your so call top countries
@@TheKrazyKoala you make more you spend more you get more you get quality life 一分錢 一分貨
@@larrylok7178 That's right. I make more by living in SG within 1 year (than 5 years of living in US combined) with salary and lower taxes :)
@@larrylok7178 Everyone have different opinion about quality of life. Someone feels that $50 for a cup of Civet Cat Coffee is quality, but others feel that a $1.20 Kopi Gao is Haven. We all have different preference for life and let’s respect each other’s choice 😊😊
Girl, you have a weird character. You are cynical, always doing soul-searching, always unhappy. I don't know how to advise you? (I am a local Singaporean.) Take care.
as always, i'm being misunderstood. I'm happy and i don't need any advice. Btw, self discovery is for people with mental calmness and self improvement. you don't reflect, only when you are unhappy. if you don't reflect, that means you probably won't be happy anyway, because you don't understand yourself. anyway, if you have seen my video here, which i talk about what happiness means to me and that i mentioned i'm really happy 😊 in life. czcams.com/video/54zcMaoG28U/video.html

Turd world versus first world! No Silicon Valley in Singapore. Duh!
