Russian Girl's First Time in SINGAPORE 🇸🇬

- We took my Russian sister to Singapore for the first time! We love traveling to Singapore and spending time here, this city state fascinates us. So when planned to travel south through the Malay peninsula, we decided we had to stop in Singapore and show this incredible country to my younger sister, Lera, who recently flew in the southeast Asia from Russia.
Welcome to Singapore! The city state is located on the southern tip of the Malay peninsula and one of the most affluent countries on Earth. Travel in Singapore can be expensive but it is a city we feel it is impossible not to fall in love with! From the rich cultural heritage, the incredible blend of food & cuisines, the architecture and the friendly locals, Singapore is one of a kind! Singapore is a unique blend of Chinese (Hokkien), Tamil, Malay and even British culture. It is famous as a financial hub linking the economies of East & West, for some qwerky (& slightly bizarre) laws (like no chewing gum!), as well as, for being one one of the greenest cities on Earth. Is Singapore the greatest city / country on Earth? Let's find out! It is certainly one of our favourites to travel to! 🇸🇬

Welcome back to Singapore! 🇸🇬 ❤
Catch our previous videos here: czcams.com/play/PLoIWNmoYZy9PgglhsZqDn-ZhkSMcSDKQh.html&si=r0dTznVw1wSX74Qc 🥰
❤ Dear Matt and Julia, I've been watching almost all your videos but I hardly comment because I know you're bombarded with comments. But the girl traveling with you I had no idea that was your sister Julia, I thought it was one of your followers but it makes sense because you look alike although she's a little taller than you she's adorable and so are you and Matt. Just wondering when you and Matt are going to settle to your own place and start a family, just curious 🧐😂 love you both and God bless and keep you all safe and happy in all your journeys. A fan from Washington State US ✝️🙏❤️
Julia your sister is very beautiful, i like her hahaha! 😊
You know you’ve made it in CZcams world when people recognize you by name and buy you food! Congratulations! You guys are awesome! 😊
I have never been to Singapore but my son has stayed there with friends and he loved it. He described it as very clean and the citizens as being very law-abiding. Thanks for your video.
So glad you enjoyed it Raymond! It is absolutely all of those things 🥰🙌🏼❤️
Very expensive.
@@cac1504 For cheap but equally good hawker food, go to the suburbs which are easily accessible by train. In town, tourist spots are naturally pricey.
@@cac1504its expensive if you eat at fancy restaurants. I guess as a first time visitor or as a tourists, it will be expensive. Same if we travel abroad cos you want to do so many things. Eat where the locals eat. Those are not expensive. We dont take $30 meals too. 😊 $6 will get you a nice meal and drink. Hope this helps and welcome to Singapore.
Hope to see you soon. Clean and safe, yes. We are well known for that. Law-abiding definitely. Besides the obvious strict laws, its not so much of being law-abiding. We just dont do silly things thats all. Just plain common sense at the end of the day. Hope to see you here soon. 😊
Hi from a Singaporean..And one of the reasons I love it, is cause I get to walk to work, not drive..and the weather is always hot..am proud of my country and my people..Glad you like it!!
You have a love to be proud of 🥰❤️
Singapore has it all! The modern city, the heritage old towns, the shopping, great museums, the nature reserves for hiking, the many beaches (ie Changi beach, Sentosa, Pasir Ris Beach), the amazing parks, the list goes on n on! The best part, all within 1hr ++ of each other, no need for longggggg dreadful drives!!
As a Singaporean, I hope you love our island city we call home. We love people from all over the world help make this a melting pot of culture. Enjoy your stay here!
nah singpore is bad go to the neigbour hood
@@not_packgody You're thinking India. Singapore neighbourhoods are meh. Nothing happens, good or bad.
I cannot believe how clean Singapore is. Wow and so beautiful!❤️
Thank you ❤️. now I still singapore.you come Singapore . I waiting for you thank you
27:07 Hi Matt and Julia. I was the guy who met both of you at Terminal 4 Changi Airport. Really nice to have met both of you with your sister. Glad you enjoyed Singapore.
Thank you so much again for the lovely snack, it was sooo nice to meet you! 🥰 See you again in the future 🙏🏼❤️
Good work mate!
Welcome to Singapore! It's warm here, so you're getting a warm welcome! ❤
Thank you so much! 🇸🇬🫶🏻❤️
Yes, absolutely the nicest city I’ve ever been to in South East Asia. Love Singapore! ❤
A lot of things have changed since I was there last, need to go back there again.
Thanks for loving Singapore, we love u ❤, Russians and everyone please visit Singapore
russians should not be allowed in singapore until putin stops his rampage against ukraine
Love the way you describe our cultural heritage, thumbs up for taking time to research about Singapore. Well done mate!
What a beautiful place! Everything seems to be very well organized, not at all what I expected to see. Thanks for the tour!
i live singapore and always feel welcome by locals. its very nice
❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you love Singapore! :D Welcome back! you guys are adorable and so positive. Come back again soon!
Such a wonderful time in Singapore, and all the city looks clean and gorgeous.
I always love when you guys have family along for the ride. Glad you are having a blast.
We hope you guys had a blast in Singapore! ❤
You guys need to come to Singapore for christmas and New Year. Orchard road is do beautiful on christmas and on new years eve, at the barge, the fireworks start at 10.30pm and goes on until 12am. It is so beautiful, you will love Singapore.
Yet another brilliant video ....thank you Matt and Julia, exceptional work so very watchable Xx
Absolutely brilliant guys you did this video so well. Loved every second of this video.
Welcome to the beautiful Singapore! Have a great week! Hope u enjoy ur stay❤
I love watching the three of you traveling together! Lera adds another interesting dimension to your content. Continued safe travels to all of you! Also, thanks for the great Vietnamese postcard: “Forget work. Drink coffee!” My new life slogan! (And…getting closer to 200K subscribers 😮)
Having made a trip with a much younger sister, can say you are doing a stellar job Julia. Parenthood is easier than traveling with a much younger sib.
Julie, you are adorable 🥰 Thanks for the incredible travels! Love you all ❤
Oops,,Julia..
Thank you so much Marilyn! 🥰❤️
Hello and much love from Florida US! I love to watch your travels. How wonderful that you’re also sharing it with your sister these last few videos. Congrats on the new apartment! ❤
I enjoy watching you guys a lot! Also I love. the fact that you guys took Lera along, how sweet
One of your very best videos. I see them all. Thanks, guys.
Your knowledge of Singapore is impressive! Glad to see you enjoy Yakun Toast! I love the eggs too! You may want to half the dark sauce the next time, it's meant to be used sparingly cuz it can get quite salty and overpowering the nice eggy flavour. One more tip: Don't miss Jewel at Changi Airport if you haven't seen it! It's not in the transit area but it's worth travelling to the airport just to spend half a day there shopping and chilling out. See you next time!
As a singaporean, it makes me happy to see how homely my country makes you feel. And im glad to see you enjoying laksa!
I appreciate your sentiment, but FYI, the word 'homely' actually means 'ugly'. A better expression would be 'at home' as in 'it makes me happy to see that my country makes you feel at home.'
@@joeyp1927 interesting. I tot I learnt something new till I goggled it. Actually it means what I meant, but it’s in regards to British English. Which is what I’ve been brought up with.
The ugly u are referring to is more of US English.
Thank you for visiting Singapore. FYI you can also enter into Indonesia from Singapore via taking a 45 minute ferry to Batam Island (indonesia) from there you can take a domestic flight to continue to other parts of indonesia or I've if you are really the hardcore type with loads of time you can also take a ferry to Java mainland then buses to go across it and ferry again to Bali.
It was in the video, they said for a strange reason, Russians have to fly out.
Its awesome that you brought your sister along , great experience for her....😊😊❤
Great video guys, I hope Julia’s sister is enjoying herself. Keep up the good work👍
Great video guys ! Fun to be back in Singapore ! I see so much more through your eyes now. I was there long ago with family. What I remember from that trip was mostly the Peninsula hotel,where we stayed, Raffles and Boogie street. Fantastic city ! 🙏💕🌷
good attempt. its 'Bugis' street not Boogie. Warm regards from SG
Brilliant, love Singapore, thanks guys 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Superb vlogg as always guys .. so interesting to watch . Thank you ❤❤
U might like to know Singapore is more attractive to live in than for visiting(since sg don’t have vy big size lands compared to other countries). But anyone who have lived in Singapore would know everything works & run efficiently in the country (things get done fast unlike most countries esp if u compared to many of our neighbouring countries :)). All thanks to the efficient & non-corrupt Govt that makes the country vy desirable to live in long terms. That explains why HALF the populations living in SG are foreigners(out of 5.8 millions populations, only 3.2 millions are citizens or NEW citizens).
Average foreigners living in Singapore are 10-20 yrs not 1-2 yrs only. ❤❤
Singapore also has the highest average salary in asia(Japan been behind Singapore esp since sg alrdy became the most expensive country in the world for last 8yrs). If u compared the avg salary to other asia & Southeast Asia countries, eg Singapore is about 6-7 times higher than Malaysia, 5-6 times higher than china & about 9-10 times higher than Philippines etc. That explains why many lower income jobs in Singapore been taken up by foreigners from Malaysia, Philippines, china & India for the last 2-3 decades.❤
Local tip: If you like Laksa, the best is in Katong. A small stall in Roxy Square. Don't take my word for it, go try it out!
Thank you so much, we have noted this! 🥰❤️
Welcome to my country, looking forward to seeing you all again..😊
Hi Matt & Julia,
Welcome both of you and your sister to Singapore, hope she will enjoy her stay here.
Good to take your sister out touring & be safe in other countries
Lera, I love otters too. Here in the northwestern U.S., we have river otters as well as sea otters. Once when I was swimming in a mountain lake with my Dachshund Bob, who looks like an otter when he is swimming, a passel of river otters swam toward us on their way down the lake. I think they were curious about Bob, so they swam over to us to get a better look at him. For an incredible few minutes, the otters looked at Bob and me, and we looked back at them. Then they calmly swam on, allowing us to follow about 15 meters behind them. It was magical!
Every time I land in Singapore I think of this novel (based on real events and experiences) titled Changi/King Rat by James Clavell. It’s unbelievable what horrors happened there just decades ago and how the place looks today, so unbelievably beautiful.
I was wondering if you read that book.
precisely why Singaporeans don't take the social and racial harmony, peace, prosperity, development and more for granted. lest we forget.
I’m just curious if you love Singapore so much why didn’t you make it your home base? I enjoyed seeing all of the sights. ❤️I love that Julia’s sister is with you. It’s always good to see her and I know Julia loves having her with you. ❤️❤️
I have travelled SG last month. I wish I could meet you both. Love your channel so much.
Oh welcome back to Singapore!!!
Have been to Singapore as well, but it has changed a bit since I last went 1992.! 😀 Enjoy.
The Jewel is in front of T1, and walkable from T2 & T3. But T4 is too far away. Go to the airport 3-4 hours earlier. Take a taxi to Jewel for a visit first. Then take a free shuttle bus from T1 to T4 to check in your flight. 😊
😂😂😂😂😂Welcome back!
I love your dress. Its lovely!
Enjoy yourselves.🌷🌷
Thanks for the Singapore adventure! 👍❤
🥰🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back ❤❤❤
love the content thanks :)
Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️
Wow, the street is devoid of cars and people.
I love Kaya toasts but leave out the half boiled eggs.
Half boiled egg with pepper and dark soya sauce. Not just half boiled eggs only.
OMG you guys take half boiled eggs with so 'much' soy sauce, you're truly Asian at home in SG 😍
It’s nice to see you all togeather having a great time. The food looks fantastic as well. You have travelled to many places and always seem to enjoy. Have you thought about going to Canada at all? Anyway enjoy😀
thanks for making me hungry again guys 😆 unrelated but would u ever consider doing a video on some basic russian phrases that would be useful to travellers? much love xx
Welcome back!
Oww I also love Singapore…..and Changi
Julia ,you speak such beautiful English
I love following you guys on your many treks
Shud try claypot rice in Chinatown 😅 the q is so long, it's at least a 2hr wait....
Food lovers unite! I love my food so can understand the excitement. Isn't Singapore crazy expensive??? Sadly haven't visited yet. Loving your new adventures. ❤
It's expensive if you want it to be.
It’s indeed expensive, judging by my very limited experience, I remember converting Singaporean dollars into AUD (I was checking places and prices my first time there) and I thought “and they say Asia’s cheap??!” It’s usually worth the price but it’s not Thailand for sure.
One can stay in JB city in Malaysia and easily make the short bus trips (frequent) into Singapore. However, the immigration checkpoints might slow you down.
@@jlcgu11Better not to stay there! It’s too dangerous! Not safe at all due to too many robberies!!
@@BoOmMaGuOpEeP I've stayed in JB a number of times in the past and have not had any problems. In general, though, Malaysia has seen a rise in crime rates.
Oh noooo not runny eggs, I’m sure you guys loved it and it probably tasted good butttttttt I can’t get past the part that the eggs are almost completely raw and slimy. You guys are champs!❤️💙💜💖
Welcome back
If you two still around, give me a shout I will bring you guys out to the neighbourhood for some makan (makan is malay language for food)😅
I've seen you've been in Philippines..thank you for visiting our country ❤❤
Thanks brother and sister
next stop .... Singapore's places of worship!
So excited that I have been to a place that you have too! I am desperate to return to Singapore and I really want to visit Malaysia. Fingers crossed.
Hope you enjoyed the city through our eyes too 🥰❤️
In Singapore, raining time is for us to sit down, enjoy a coffee and relax
I can’t say how much I love your vlogs!!!!!!!!! Everything and everyone!! Julia and Matt it’s like you’re producing your very own documentary and you obviously put so much energy into the research. You both have such passion and personal insights which I agree with.
You have amassed so much knowledge about the world! It’s nice that Julia’s sister (don’t think you’ve mentioned her name? Sorry if I missed it!) is going with you!! A great opportunity to learn and experience so much but with the safety of being with you!! Has she finished her formal schooling in Russia. Don’t mean to seem nosy, I’m just interested.
Everyone another vlog finishes I’m immediately searching for another!! What a super time/life you’re having. Take care won’t you and thanks for bringing me along in the only way I can!
🍹🍹🍺🍪🍪🍪💐🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
I think I would love Singapur. I really cool city.
SG is beautiful, love it absolutely !
🥰❤️❤️❤️
You are looking very well Julia , travelling appears to agree with you 😊
Cute love birds in Singapore 😊
Matt and julia i hope one day you can visit here in the philippines in our beautiful country! ❤
so pretty 😍
Love the laksa. Is this one at the Maxwell Road market?
There are so much to eat! Just near to where you bought the curry puff, you should visit Hong lim hawker centre. You will be lost on what to choose for breakfast 😋😋
Further into the clip, I am starting to see the diversity and why you are so enjoying it and sharing it. My idea of Singapore is being changed a bit. Interesting and great filming.
Thank you very much Linda ❤️🙏🏼
Linda my dear,
Why don't you give Singapore a try one day? Sure, it is not the place to be if you're intent on being a radical activist, narcotics peddler, litterer, or gum chewer. Indeed it has lots of rules that don't seem to impact on my daily existence one jot. But if you are keen on walking about as you like in relative safety, especially if you are a woman, then the lion town is hard to beat. Some of its highlights include great inexpensive arts, gardens, food, and public transport. The genuine functioning multiculturalism is astounding. Now sure, the accommodation is a tad expensive, but we are not talking London or New York prices here.
Maybe think about a week rather than the two night stopover that is so common. This will give you time to get beyond the tourist hot spots. Don't miss the Botanic Gardens!!!!
@@markjones2781 Thanks so much for your thoughts and suggestions. Matt and Julia did show that diversity and I would really like to visit if and when my husband and I travel again to SE Asia. The Botanic Garden would be on my list for sure. Love flowers/trees and nature. Appreciate greatly your taking the time to add to the Singapore clip. Merci!
I'm commenting just one minute into the clip. Singapore... have NOT been. Await a lot of convincing! Smiling. You know I've said I'm not a fan of big cities, so here we go. This looks exciting! Must say Hong Kong was jaw dropping... so this just might be the same. Love your enthusiasm. Let's go.
Really hope you love it as much as we love it Linda 😍❤️
Way better than Hong Kong… building are well-maintained, streets are very clean. Importantly, most can speak English and another language, so it’s very easy to navigate your way and ask around.
Hong Kong is crap
Next time you visit if you haven't already seen them, visit the esplanade which is the music center, and at the airport you should visit the Jewel which is a huge mall and fountain outside security. Singapore is also my favorite.
You should try some of our food in hawker centre, which is good and cheap.
You guys should be with National geographic ❤, awesome ❤
enjoy Singapore Matt and Julia... when you visit to Bali Indonesia ?
Hey - great video! I was in Singapore in May and you went to Arab Street like me and you showed Anatolia Turkish and Lebanese Restaurant, in your video (the place with blue sineage). Me an my mum visited on our last day in Singapore and we got such bad food poisoning in there that my Mum needed oxygen on the plane back and I was a complete mess too. Some of the worst food poisoning I have ever had. The cabin crew warned us that they might have to declare a medical emergency but luckily we swerved that one. Can you imagine?! It was like something out of a movie. It was quite an expensive place too but I guess everything is in Singapore to a large extent. Julia is so funny!
Who will eat that Turkish and lebanese food in Sg ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Even local don't eat that.
Don't eat at arab street. Over price. Maybe you go neighbourhood and eat. Red hill MRT station. Hawker there elderly there cheaper

CZcams popup your video. Enjoyed it
Thank you so much ❤️😍
Harriet and I always enjoy Singapore. One of our favorite cities in the world. The food, The landscape. We love it. Every chance we get to go to Southeast Asia we have to stop and at Changi
Airport in Singapore. It is indeed the best airport in the world. Hope Lera is enjoying herself on this trip. Is this her first trip out of Russia ? As always, a great job. 👍 Sending you much love
❤❤ from Richmond, VA. Harriet, Jim and Yuki🐕
hello Bob from calif usa love yu all !!!!!
Hey Bob, lots of love to California from us! ❤️
Next time you visit Singapore, if you want to check out the main Malay area, it's called Geylang Serai. It's a little way out from the downtown area, but you can get there by MRT. The nearest stations would be Eunos and Paya Lebar. The Geylang Serai Market is a place you can go to for some Malay food, and there is also a night market there during Ramadan, since most Malays are Muslims. And the entire area is decorated for Ramadan too, just like how Little India is decorated for the lead up to Deepavali.
Hey guys! I am here now 🎉
Hey Andra! 😍 Amazing! How long are you staying there? ❤️
@@MattandJulia Until the 15th! Today I ate the same breakfast you had and Laksa at the Maxwell, amazingly good; and tomorrow I go to Sentosa 😃😃
Oh my god! I am sooo happy you loved it! 😍 Wish we could be there with you eating that Laksa again 😋
Hope you have the most amazing time! ❤️🙌🏼
@@MattandJulia thank you!! Will also go and try the Indonesian dish tomorrow after Sentosa! Great timing for the video ❤️
@@MattandJulia Love Singapore a lot! 🥰
❤❤❤
Welcome to Singapore 💚💚💚💚
Njoy
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
@@MattandJulia 😃
4:10 that's the most perfect soft boiled egg I ever seen
Who is Lena? How is she related? I hope she enjoyed Singapore. I enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Lera, is my sister ❤️🙏🏼
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much Linda!! 😮 Really appreciate the amazing support!!! 😮❤️
@@MattandJulia My dear Julia and Matt, I am so happy to help a little bit. I watch your clips and comment often. You are "youth" and have such a wonderful perspective on life! I just went through craziness to see if the transaction worked. It looks like it did. Oufff. Look forward to all your stories and experiences. I so wish you both as many adventures and travels around the world as possible. My husband and I (50 years together!) are still on the road or on a plane (hate that) to new places, too. Your vlog/blog/clips/stories are so inspiring, interesting, funny and loving. Thank YOU. Next time you're in France, let me know. It would be awesome to meet you! Best, best, best and hugs. Linda
The pilot of the plane would have said "Welcome Home".
welcome to Singapore
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏼
Hope to see you again in Singapore
you can go to T1 t2 t3 from T4 inside there is a free shuttle bus if I remember correctly
The airport terminals are interlinked. Try to go airport earlier next time. 😀
You should have visit the East Coast Park for nice beach and leisure
I must say that this breakfast didn't tempt me too much, but I know, before talking I'll have to try it! I hope to visit Singapore one day.
Impressive how Julia's list of most favorite foods ever grows more and more every day!!
A pleasure to travel with you three but it seems that you carry the rain everywhere with you....just in case I'm packing umbrellas and raincoats for Uzbekistan ha ha!
Until the next video Love from Buenos Aires
Singapore food is very addictive
As a local I must say the half boiled eggs are better eaten with much less dark soya sauce like just 1 tea spoonful n has to be dark, not light soya sauce - the beauty of it lies in the tinge of sweetness besides light saltiness. Dipping the crispy KAYA jam (coconut+egg+Pandan ) toast into the eggs makes the combined taste heavenly. It’s a popular healthy breakfast packed with protein to start the day. Hope u enjoy it next time you try
