[Music] Hi guys,
welcome back to my little channel !
To continue about the traveling topic to Singapore
which I already did in 2023 with the process
was exactly like my rehearsal traveling video.
You can find the previous video in my Channel
or to click the link or the description below.
My Swifties little girl will travel to Singapore
with her friend in their both first time.
I'm a little bit worried, so I'll try to make
this video as detailed as possible for you guys.
Also, this video will have some specific
guides for the Travelers who travel to
Singapore to join the Eras tour
of Taylor Swift on March 2024,
especially for those who travel
to Singapore for the first time.
Here is a checklist I designed based on my
latest trip. You guys totally can use this
for double check before your self-planned trip.
I will go into detail and the reason why you
really should back at this checklist.
1. Passport: make sure it's valid for at
least 6-month beyond your planed return
date. If you're Vietnamese and need to
renew or apply for new passport, you totally
can check on my channel for the instruction
of applying passport with 100% success.
2. Return plane ticket: you guys should
buy round plane ticket because the airport
staff will ask about the return ticket and
check it carefully at the check-in counter.
3. Singapore Arrival Card: you must have a
Singapore arrival card to entry into Singapore.
You should submit SG arrival card 2 or 3 days
within Arrival Date. Example: if you'll travel
on March 6, 2024 you can start submitting
on March 4, 2024 to the Arrival Date.
Remember to submit this at home where is
more comfortable instead of standing at Changi
airport for 30 minutes or 1 hour just to fill
in the lots of information correctly in form.
4. Hotel Booking Address: you'll need a hotel
booking reservation to fill where-you-gonna-stay
address in the SG arrival card. Remember to fill
correctly the hotel's name and address because
the receptionist at the hotel will also check your
SG arrival card. It's like a way for foreigner to
register temporary residence address at Singapore.
5. Cash: thing is you don't need to bring
much cash at Singapore because it's a modern
city that accepts contactless payment and
the immigration clearance officer is no
longer question traveler for the minimum
cash they should bring along anymore.
I brought cash of 100 Singapore dollars and had
to drink milk tea 3 times a day just to use all
the cash I don't want to bring back home.
6. Credit/Debit cards: you should bring
2 contactless credit/ debit cards with you
just in case the one of each doesn't work.
If you are insecure about the banking security
and you have a debit contactless card,
you can top up half or all the money budget
for the trip into it and use all the way.
If you don't worry about the hacking
thing, you can tap your credit card
or your phone which is integrated the
credit card and enable the NFC directly.
Contactless cards are necessary in Singapore. You
not only use contactless card for shopping payment
but also for Bus/ MRT transportation.
7. Sim Card: during planing the trip,
I once thought i shouldn't buy Sim card because
maybe Singapore is modern city with full of Wi-Fi
cover all over the city.
Hmm, spoiler alert!
The answer is NO. You really should buy a SIM
card for the internet data and to use the Google
Map so you will never be lost at Singapore.
You can also search for everything near you
to cut down the walking time. For saving money,
you can book SIM card and pay online through some
travel agents with cheaper price and pick up
SIM card at the airport in the Arrival Date.
Besides, the tip is you can buy just 1 sim card
and share the internet with your friend by using
the mobile hotspot. But remember when your phone
becomes a hotspot, it will lose the battery quite fast.
I'm not sponsored by any of the travel
agents so I put both links to buy SIM card for
you guys at the description, so you can choose
the cheaper at the time you watching this video.
From the price on the website, please plus 3% fee
of credit card payment for the final price.
I'll share the website and guide you the way to pick
up SIM card at Terminal 4 and Terminal 1 later.
8. Google map app download/ Offline MRT download:
if you use Android phone, maybe there's already a
Google map on your phone. If you don't have one,
download it before your trip. I downloaded 2 or
3 navigation apps before the trip. But after
the trip, I know I'll survive well at Singapore
just using Google map. To navigate the Bus/
MRT and to find the way by walking. About the
navigation and catch bus at Singapore, I'll
guide you later in this or in the next video.
9. Phone Charger/adapter/power bank: in my
previous trip, I booked one in the hotel 81 chain
and the socket at the hotel is international. In
case you book another hotel and have no idea what
socket they have, bring along an adapter which
converts from type G to International type.
10. Medications: bring some general
pills like paint killer, paracetamol
cold and flu, sun protection pill if you have.
11. Sun Protection: it's important to protect
your skin from sunburn and the hot temperature
at Singapore. Remember to use sunscreen,
wear sunlasses, hat and maybe pocket umbrella
will help a lot while waiting for crossing
street or queueing at noon. You can also pack
the pocket fan and mist spray in the tote bag.
Those small things help a lot with hot weather.
12. Empty drinking bottle: purified water is quite
expensive at Singapore but it's still affordable.
However, if you want to save some
money (and to protect environment), you
should bring along a drinking bottle,
so you can refill water at Changi Airport or at the
National Stadium where the big event will going to
happen. The weather is kind of hot at Singapore
so please remember to keep yourself hydrated.
Besides you'd better bring the PLASTIC bottle
instead of glass because the National Stadium
restricts the glass bottles in their regulation.
13. Bring printed copies of your itinerary,
hotel reservation, return plane ticket, pre-booked
ticket, passport (Xerox) and any other important
travel documents in case your phone was broken
or in less fortunate situation (Jinx it!)
14. The National Stadium may restrict the tripods,
gimbals, monopods and selfie sticks;
so maybe you can consider about not
to bring this into the event.
15. And last but not least,
remember to bring comfortable clothing/
shoes because you might have to walk a lot
and also remember to bring ear plugs to protect
yourself from the loud noise at the concert.
Finishing the checklist above then
you already on the half of your way
to prepare for a self-planned trip to the
Eras Tour of Taylor Swift at Singapore.
In the next video, I will share more about
the way to catch bus and transport by MRT
from Changi airport to city and around
the city, as well as use credit/ debit
card as a method payment for the transportation.
I hope this video may help you one way or another
