As the other guy said visit gayland or whatever and suck cock for a month then never speak of it again. You're only as gay as what you allow yourself to remember.

here we go with another bitching about singapore thread
>What can I do at Singapore
what do you do in your home country? do that
>where can i meet people
where do you meet people in your home country? try that
>this place is a dystopia
obviously it isn't, but it got just a little bit more dystopian when you arrived

>>2819859
The bigger question is who will they side with in the US China War?

>>2819862
so have you visited Singapore

>>2819859
where can you meet white people in singapore or did they get culturally replaced by jeets

>>2819866
There are white expat communities but you can only get into them by also being an expat and meeting people through word of mouth via other expats in your professional circle. They are definitely not interested in speaking to tourists

>>2819862
>what do you do in your home country? do that
I like hiking in the mountains, visiting small towns, not being within 100 miles of a shopping mall, and being hours away from people. Where can I do all of that within Singapore's borders?

>>2819864
i go there maybe once or twice every few weeks
>>2819869
you're a funny one anon
what makes you think you are stuck "within singapore's borders"? it is not a prison camp.
i presume you are not the op, because "wanting to meet people" and "being hours away from people" are not really achievable at the same time.
but if you really want to do all of those things, as opposed to, y'know, just making stuff up to be awkward on 4chan, then singapore has both an airport and a seaport which are hubs for the whole region.

>>2819881
hey, op here, that wasn't me, you from Australia? don't know much about what to do, might just visit a D&D area.
>>2819869
I don't know man, maybe a park but you'd not be far away from people.

>>2819884
>hey, op here, that wasn't me, you from Australia?
i'm from the uk, i live in malaysia, i travel all around the region.
singapore is like any other big city really, there is always stuff going on if you look for it. i go there to see bands, comedy etc that don't come to malaysia
is "d&d area" some new code word for sex tourism? or do you actually mean d&d?

>1 month in Singapore
You can literally see the entire country 3 times over

That's really all singapore is, most people having some form of escapism there in luxury goods to get over the fact that's all there is. You know the reason they have such an efficent airport is because the average singaporian travels a fuck ton right?

>>2819886
yeah d&d. is malaysia alright?
i just know they have draconian laws

>>2819859
I lived in Singapore for 3 years around 2017–2020 and never ran out of things to do or people to meet. Skill issue.
>where can i meet people
White people and East Asian expats? Nightlife or meme hobbies like climbing gyms. Singaporeans? Nightlife but often cheaper venues / closer to heartland areas. Rich Chinks? Nightlife but expensive venues.

a lot of people who play dnd also seem to be into card games like pokemon, magic the gathering etc. these are all wildly popular around asia including singapore. there is a big pokemon store right in changi airport and several game stores around the island
>is malaysia alright?
it wouldn't be my first choice of a country to live in but that's what life has turned out like. it's a fucking weird place, that's for sure
>i just know they have draconian laws
yeah they do, although as long as you don't go to the areas with large muslim majorities you can pretty much get away with anything.
personally i find the censorship the most annoying thing, that's one of the reasons i go to singapore.

It's funny seeing you little SEAmonkeys get pissed when someone says Singapore is, in fact, boring and there's nothing to do. When that poster said do whatever you like to do in your country, I said what I like to do. And you get pissed because your country offers nothing.

Yes, you can eat at TGI Fridays in your country. No, we're not impressed. No, we won't travel to your country just to do that. Singapore is a decent place to have a weekend stopover. Nothing more.

>>2823343
You can't afford Singapore, one of the world's most expensive cities, and that makes you seethe.

>>2823347
>expensive = good
Lol

>>2823347
I've been there. I can afford it. Doesn't mean it's worth it.

And what's with Singaporeans bringing up money in every single discussion, no matter what it is? Nobody is impressed with your money. Nobody cares that you sit in an office all day and do nothing to generate fake cash. You're not interesting and the complex about wanting to be rich and cultured like other countries is obvious.

>>2823361
>And what's with Singaporeans bringing up money in every single discussion, no matter what it is?
it is a way of gauging comparative status when they have no other markers
all foreigners look the same to them at first. they act pretty much the same too. unless you make the effort to distinguish yourself somehow, they are not going to bother with you. if you find people who are somehow similar to you e.g. share the same taste in music, have the same hobbies or whatever, then you will find they are pretty much normal people
it is the same in every country, but you probably don't notice it. for example when i worked in the usa and started conversations with people by saying nice car, nice watch or whatever, they would immediately launch into a tedious monologue about how they "got a great deal" on it or similar. it is basically the same conversation, phrased differently

>>2819859
Hey OP. Why are you there for a month? Is it for a holiday or work? If it's for a holiday, then like anons have said in this chat, it's wayyy too long. It's a 3, max 4 day destination. And it's a fkn sick place if you're not a poor fag faggot like 99% of this board who stay in hostels and go hiking and sit around at parks. Fk i love not being poor.

>>2823494
Same fag here. SIN has everything. Sick food, both swanky high end restaurants and cheaper hawker style places with indian, chinese and everything in between. Also don't forget to go Jumbo cilli crab at Clarke Quay, that's if you're not poor.

And once you're done filling your belly, head over to the bar at the Grand Hyatt just off Orchard road for some high-end company with drop dead glamours, if you know what i mean. If you have less money then go around the corner to Orchard Towers, or four floors of ... And if you're poor, go to Geylang like the other anon said.

>>2823495
Oh and i forgot to add. Go do some window shopping at Marina Bay Sands just to feel how poor you really are.

Also, the meals are usually quite small. I had to order 2 meals at times. And I'm not even that big of an eater. I'm brown, but I'm not poor, nor do i have poor hobbies like hiking and reading.

>>2823497
>Go do some window shopping at Marina Bay Sands just to feel how poor you really are.
i stay there nearly every time i go to singapore. the rooms aren't really anything particularly special, but i like that area with the gardens and the "supertrees" and all that.
>nor do i have poor hobbies like hiking and reading.
reading is the richest hobby a person can have
maybe if you did it a bit more, you could learn to form normal human relationships, instead of having to pay desperate thirdie hookers to suppress their vomit reflex long enough for you to paw at them

>>2823626
Anon, he's brown, having hobbies wouldn't help in his case

Go to the Raffles bar and have a Singapore Sling.

>>2823497
Yeah, brown people tend to have no appreciation of nature and no capacity to understand literature. Flaunting money that we give you is all you have.

>>2819859
Do a battlefield tour anon. If you have time, you could do a combined Malaysia Singapore battlefield tour.

If you are interested in public policy, Singapore is amazing. Eg visit the URA gallery to look at city planning. You can see what the country has planned to do over the next 5 years. If you're interested in housing policy, visit HDB Hub in Tampines. You can see how public housing is planned and built and can see the public housing available to citizens right now.

>>2824440
a forest or mountain where you'll be alone ? no
if you wanna be alone unironically go toward the west side of the country, especially during weekend, theres really not much going on

in any case, i don't see why anyone would go in a forets or mountain (unless they are being active/running) the heat will absolutely kill you if the insects don't already. it's not a pleasant experience

Jumbo is the most overpriced chili crab restaurant chain in Singapore. Plenty of better options like Melben, Hua Yu Wee, Roland. Some of the tastiest crabs are in the more local places in Alexandra or East Coast Park.
>If you have less money then go around the corner to Orchard Towers, or four floors of ...
Four floors closed down years ago, barely anything remains in Orchard Towers.
>>2823497

Yeah I can tell from how shit your advice is and from how half of your post is trying to pretend like you're rich because you can afford a crab for dinner.

lol mate. White people are fkn retarded aye. they walk for 2 weeks sleeping on jagged rocks so they can walk up a fkn mountain. Or hike 2 hours into the bush so they can read Harry Potter or Gatsby pretending that theyre scholars of literature.

that being said, im thinking of doing a 2-3 night quick trip to SIN for my bday in a couple of months. Last time i was there was 8 years ago. Anyone have any non-poor suggestions?

yeah right. good to know. as i said, i havnt been there in 8 years. would be keen to see what's changed.

I never said im rich. Im just not poor so much so that my hobbies involve travelling to different countries on Scoot and AirAsia, staying in back alley hostels meant for the homeless and strays, blah blah i could go on...

>>2825913
Eating at popular restaurants only tourists visit isn’t the mark of pride you think it is. That’s what fat Americans taking their first international vacation ever do. The difference is they realize it’s a mistake and don’t brag about it.

people bitch about airasia but the fact is they are not bad as budget airlines go. they fly to a lot of places that would be difficult to get to otherwise.
however i would not pick them as my first option if there were other better airlines available

Grim as fuck. It's going to reach boiling point soon.

>>2826602
Regarding selective enforcement against caucasians, I'm white and the only place I've been taken aside for additional screening is in Singapore. I'm the most stereotypical strait laced nerdy white person around so I found it kind of strange. After my full search was over, I decided to stop and see if it was truly random. I had hours to spare so I spent about 30 minutes standing there.

Not a single jeet, chink, negro, or middle eastern person was stopped. But every time a group of white people or solo white person passed through, a fat chink would pull them aside and do a thorough search on one of them. The funniest was a large white family that all went through in separate groups, so the guard didn't realize they were together. The mom, teenage daughter, and teenage son all got pulled aside then regrouped on the other side and knew something was up.

This thread only furthers the proof of it. Singaporeans have a massive inferiority complex against white people. And they should.

>>2826616
I've seen this too. It's likely that the chinks are smart and do it for the money, because >>2826602 is right i haven't seen malays(your grab drivers) getting fined for smoking in no smoking zones, while we get fined for zero reason

btw i've never ever been stopped or search in my 11years here, i bet you look like a loser stoner dude, which is why they stopped you
the same rules and law don't apply to you a white man as they local

Haw Par Villa was fun to visit, there are tonnes of weird as fuck statues for whatever monkey religion they follow, was a bit grotty but in a unique way, and free entry
Of course you have your standard harbourfront, Marina Bay, Botanic Garden, fireworks and fountain shows. Things that look nice but clearly just flashy for the tourists. Botanic garden was pretty nice and I could have spent more time there
There's enough shopping centres for you to visit a different one every day of the month and theyre all pretty much the same. Food is good at all of the ones i visited though
Sentosa island has plenty of attractions (Universal studios etc) but it's pure tourist slop. Prices for entry aren't terrible and I enjoyed my time there because I'm a faggot who likes that kind of thing. The queues for rides at universal weren't bad at all
There's plenty of nice colonial archecture if you can be arsed to find it amongst all the soulless metal and glass monstrocities. Raffles hotel was a lovely place for a drink
Hawker centres (in particular I liked Tekka centre) these places are great desu. so chaotic and in places look like a third world shithole but wandering around them feels like actual culture and not just like how every first world capital city looks. Use your judgement if you want to get food or not but a fun place to wander round
Little India - this place was shit, goes without saying really. Too many jeets and really not interesting at all
I wish I'd gotten to visit the more outdoors places for diving, fishing cycling that kind of thing. I would say you're going to need the feeling of touching grass after a month because it's so gentrified and grey everywhere. I only spent a week there and was feeling like that by the end.
Malaysia is extremely close so if you're going to be there a while look into it
This is just the insight of a random tourist who's less jaded on tourist crap than most. I hope you enjoy because overall it's quite a lovely place and I'd like to go back

the old ladies over there were beyond accommodating, they even offered to pay my transportation fares lol
sim lim was fucking packed too, i spoke to some interns and their day was quite good
90% sure that sim lim was a fucking scam though lol, i think the shops at the top are worth more than the bottom few
the war memorial is underrated as shit, and it was honestly pretty fun getting lost on my way to bukit timah
getting laid - desu, i regret going for a hooker over there, they're expensive as shit, i'm pretty sure the girl i went with did not care for anything more so than the money, and she was watching the clock like a hawk lmao
i met an old man with a speech impediment, we tried to mow the lawn together, and we spoke over multiple days, his wife struggles to understand him as well
i've a lot more stories but yeah, that was... my experience

They're forced to be that way because of what's trying to get in. It means they had to make it hard for them. Places that are actually good always appeal the most to the Middle Class of America. Luanda Angola is one of the most expensive places in the world. Think about that. Africa.

btw I always appreciated their pragmatic attitude to colonization, they're mostly like "yeah it happened, kinda sucks but they did build a lot of the city, it's part of our history now so we may as well celebrate it" and they still have tons of shit named after the colonizers etc.
very interesting mindset that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Have you seen Empire of Dust? It features several good rants where the exasperated Chinaman berates his Congolese translator for squandering the gifts of the colonial era.

Empire of Dust tells an engaging story while offering interesting insights into certain non-Western mentalities. It's a bit of a slow burn but it serves the setting and plot: the Tired Chinaman becomes even more tired than previously thought possible while he tries to bleed productivity from Congolese stone for the film's duration. If you're looking to spending time on a movie it's a good one to choose.

Cheers for the reco. Going to give it a spin.

It's worth a watch. The nice thing is that it's actually a documentary, without commentary. Like a slice-of-life. Telling the story of the chinese engineer who constantly gets frustrated about nothing working in Congo and not being able to get his project going.

Think I've landed a job there for 2 weeks. Living in Malaysia with trips to Singapore.

Any low down on Johor? Is it possible to walk/boat across the border easily? Booze and bars, or Islamic no-fun-allowed culture?

>walk/boat across the border easily
No, you can take train to woodlands (book ahead at least a day), car (there are telegram groups where you can get a car with driver for almost any time, either way anywhere in SG/JB for 50 SGD, 30 if shared with other people) or a bus. Some people walk but it's retarded cause there is no sidewalk on the causeway and it takes long time in that heat. No boats either.
Johor has some bars which can get busy, but alcohol is almost the same price as in Singapore. There are clubs as well, but you should ask around for those

What a fucking scam. Thought backwater Malaysia would be one dollar hollah territory.

>>2833441
It's cheap for food and apartments, but whole Malaysia has high taxes on alcohol, thus the price. Singaporeans coming to drink to JB as its right across the border also pushes up the prices.

the protip for cheap food and drinks is to take a quick ferry to Batam.

5-star resorts and food for 1/10th of the price of normal countries, it's actually fucking ridiculous
