Georgia Caney said it so well: Living in Singapore is like being bubble-wrapped from danger.
This is from a comment on the video and wow, we totally take our safety for granted here.
This is from another comment on the video, but it's like taken from my mouth! I totally agree.
Here's what I like living in Singapore:
- Public transport is so convenient and I can just get around without owning a car! There's also escalators in all the MRT stations which is so so convenient especially if you are carrying heavy stuffs or when you don't want to use the stairs.
- No natural disasters which means I can sleep in peace every night without ever being woke up by earthquakes or typhoons
- Safety: Agreed with what you mentioned, I can stay out at night or come back home after midnight without much worries.
- Strong currency: Spore's strong currency allows us to spend comfortably most of the time during overseas travel.
- Amenities and healthcare convenience: Wet markets, hawker centres, coffeeshops are around to provide affordable alternatives. When sick, can just go to a neighbourhood clinic instead of hospitals like other countries. This will also free up resources in hospitals for emergencies. Our healthcare quality and infrastructure is also top notch. We don't have to worry about staying in dirty hospital rooms.
- Food! - Being a multi-racial country, there's so much food choices from pratas to mee gorengs to Hokkien mee! Not forgetting other countries' cuisine like Korean, Japanese, Italian etc (authentic or not is another issue).
- Environment: Our environment is generally quite clean and you don't see vandalism on the walls on the streets like other European countries (thanks to the strict laws). We ladies can wear heels without much of a problem since the pathways in Singapore are less slopey and surfaces are even (don't have to worry about getting heels stuck or trip over some hole).
- Water: Water is clean and we could drink straight right from the tap if we want to and without a worry on the water supply shortage (water conservation is still important). I recalled seeing people in London supermarkets buying gallons of drinking water. So thankful we don't need to do that here.
- Weather: Singapore would be almost perfect if she has a cooler average temperature but hey! there's always air-conditioner which will resolve this easily and we can enjoy it in malls, offices and public transports. Anyway, laundry will get to dry up faster (with the sunshine and not mouldy smell) which also saves money without the need to purchase a dryer. And I agree with some comments that there is no need for moisturiser most of the time due to the humidity (skin less dry compared to when in cold weather countries). Overall, I am fortunate and am grateful to be a Singaporean. =) P.S: I know this is a lengthy comment.
What makes you love living in Singapore?
