Singapore Travel Guide (Video)

Some videos on Singapore Travel Guides (sort of). 5 1/2 minute video by "Mad Dogs & Englishmen travel": The tips here are broad and general, and sometimes a little inaccurate (Supertree Grove 2:05 is free unless you wanna go to the OCBC Skyway, or the Supertree Observatory),  but the general tips are helpful. He also has a Top 10 Attractions in Singapore .

Wildlife of Singapore (that you might encounter)

Singapore. A tiny city-state. 100% urbanised. No wildlife right? Okay you got some otters. What else? This is " Singapore - Wild City " (No, it's not about our slutty women. It's a Nature series. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough. It's not erotica... unless you find David Attenborough's voice sexy... You too? Join the club!)

Accommodation (2023)

Image
Accommodations in Expensive Singapore may be your biggest anxiety, and largest budget item. I explained in this page : Singapore is small, and highly urbanised. There is 720 sq km of land on Singapore, and 5.6 million people (approximately), and these residents of Singapore needs a place to stay. At the same time, pre-pandemic, we attracted almost 20 million tourists to Singapore each year (and hope to do so again, post-pandemic). And we only have 70,000 hotel rooms. (In comparison, Bali attracts 1/3 the tourists, and have more than half the hotel rooms of Singapore. Correspondingly, the hotel rates there are cheaper. Not that I am recommending Bali for your travels .) But there are low-cost options. Singapore is NOT going to be as cheap as Bali, or Chiangmai, or Hanoi, but there are (relatively) low costs options. Hotels under $50 (as at 2022)
