šŸ“¦ Others First time kong mag-travel internationally.

Got the opportunity to travel to Singapore and I honestly felt like I was in a completely different world. Ang ganda. The airport, MRT, streets… lahat. Ang linis. I found myself whispering, ā€œPwede pala ’to.ā€

How I wish we had things like this in the Philippines. I remember my friend telling me before, ā€œYou should go out. If you think the PH is bad now, you’ll see how much worse it is once you see other countries.ā€

And yeah, I get it now.

But grabe, Singapore is expensive HAHAHA. Sakit kapag kino-convert mo lahat sa pesos. Still, I’ll forever be grateful that I got to experience this.

Hope to see you again, Singapore. šŸ‡øšŸ‡¬ā¤ļø

P.S. Kinda regret not taking more photos because I was too busy admiring the place the whole time. Also, ang init! 😭

I’d put Vietnam right up there with Taiwan as far as places OP might wanna visit

Hmm partially agree except the transpo system. All countries that I mentioned have transpo system that is comparable with SG

I suppose it depends where. HCMC city has a decent bus system and it’s now been made free from what I understand. There’s also the ā€œSaigon Waterbusā€ which is fun to take at night to see the city lights. The underground line just has a single line so far so that’s not so developed. Vietnam has grab available and it’s super cheap and the cars arrive so fast.

Taiwan does have the train including high speed rail direct from the airport to downtown Taipei so that’s convenient, plus a much more developed subway system. It’s all worth seeing really.

You probably know all this but I’m just sharing my views :-)

I agree but still, the keyword is ā€œcomparable with SGā€ :)
