Traveller to 46 countries lists Singapore in his bottom 5 because SG people were “rather unfriendly and distant”

SINGAPORE: In a viral TikTok post, a German traveller who has visited 46 countries so far wrote that Singapore is one of the “bottom 5” countries he has visited.

For the post’s author, who goes by TravelDan on TikTok, his bottom five countries are 5. Tajikistan, 4. Singapore, 3. Liechtenstein, 2. Belize, and 1. Egypt. There was “no nature, and it was extremely hot due to the asphalt and tall buildings,” and the people he encountered were “rather unfriendly and distant.”Interestingly, a British traveller who has been to 40 countries also listed Singapore among his bottom five earlier this month and for largely the same reasons: very expensive, too westernized, and too hot and humid weather.

Some questioned his expectations for Southeast Asia, though others agreed with TravelDan. One TikTok user wrote that Singapore is where people go on trips to the region to “have a breather” to “get back your sanity.”
