As a child been living in both countries, I can say that both have throwbacks, as well as things I want to come back for .

小时候在这两个地区生活，我可以说两者都有倒退，也都有我怀念的地方。

People in Singapore highly respect its authority, they respect the rules and feared the authorities governing the country.

新加坡人高度尊重其国家的权威，他们尊重规则，并害怕该国管理者的权威。



Singapore has a very friendly weather and clear sky. It was summer all round year with cyclic rain season. While HK has an extreme weather season, and prone to air pollution. Located in Eastern Asia, HK frequently hit by typhoon in certain months. I remembered people were not allowed to go outside if the typhoon reached T8, while schools, offices, flights and bus services remained closed.

新加坡的天气非常友好，天空晴朗。一年四季都是夏季，有周期性的雨季。然而香港有一个极端的天气季节，并且容易受到空气污染。香港位于东亚，在某些月份经常遭受台风的袭击。我记得，如果台风到达八级，人们就会被限制出行，而学校，公司，航班和公共汽车服务会停止运营。

People in Singapore are very friendly, from cab drivers, 1-dollar uncle ice ream, random people on the street. Compare this to taxi drivers in HK, who doesn’t know English and drive uncarefully.

新加坡的人非常友好，从出租车司机和卖1美元冰激凌的大叔到街上随便一个人。相比之下，香港的出租车司机不会英语，而且开车很不小心。

People in Singapore use their own English: Singlish, and people in HK use their own Mandarin: Cantonese. It is very hard to keep track with Singlish at the first time, but you get used to it.

新加坡人使用自己的英语：Singlish，香港人使用自己的中文：广东话。第一次学习新英语很难的，但你会习惯的。

Singapore’s motto is ‘Zero crime doesn’t mean no crime’. I remember the poster was all over the place. Even having a very low crime rate (Singapore was one of the safest country in the world), people were still be alx to keep caution. I tested this theory once with my father, we left our belongings on a park bench for an hour and came back to find it was still there. No one seems want to touch anything not their personal belongings.

新加坡的座右铭是“零犯罪并不意味着没有犯罪”。我记得海报到处都是。即使犯罪率很低（新加坡是世界上最安全的国家之一），人们仍然要保持警惕。我曾经和父亲一起测试过这一理论，我们将财产放在公园的长椅上一个小时，然后回来发现它仍然存在。似乎没有人想要触摸任何不属于他们的东西。

I went to visit Singapore and Hong Kong this year. I am speaking as a tourist.
IMO, Singapore is better overall.

我今年去了新加坡和香港。我是作为游客发言。
总的来说，新加坡总体上更好。

Food in Singapore is highly varied since it’s a multicultural country. There is a lot to choose from, not to mention the way they handle street food there, it is generally more careful and cleaner. I didn’t need to give it a second thought on whether or not I was gonna buy something. In Hong Kong, I couldn’t do that.

新加坡是一个多元文化的国家，所以食物种类繁多。有很多选择，更不用提他们处理街边小吃的方式了，那里通常更小心、更干净。我不需要再考虑我是否要买东西。在香港，我做不到这一点。

Pollution level is very minimal in Singapore. Contrary to what I read online, I believe the air is fresh and comfortably breathable.. and I come from a green country where fresh air is predominant. In HK, the sun is, most of the time, blocked by the surrounding air (especially in the city centre), hence the gloomy atmosphere.

新加坡的污染水平非常低。与我在网上看到的相反，我认为这里的空气新鲜，呼吸舒适。我来自一个绿色的国度，那里空气清新。在香港，大部分时间太阳都被周围的乌云所遮挡(尤其是在市中心)，因此这里的气氛阴郁。

The people of both countries are blunt, which I like because there’s no BS and it’s efficient communication. I am not one to nitpick, but I find Singaporeans way nicer. The problem is, I find my judgment unfair because it always depends on who you meet during your travel. Every single person I met and befriended (kinda) in Singapore was nice to me and they spoke in a way I consider civil. Most of the Hong Kong-ers I talked to were nice, it’s just they seemed angry and always in a hurry even though they were not.

两个地区的人都很直率，我喜欢这一点，因为跟他们之间的交谈都没有废话，沟通也很有效。我不是那种吹毛求疵的人，但我发现新加坡人要友善得多。问题是，我发现我的判断是不公平的，因为这取决于你在旅途中遇到的人。我在新加坡遇到的每个人都对我很好，他们说话的方式我觉得很礼貌。我交谈过的大多数香港人都很好，只是他们看起来很严肃，而且总是很匆忙，尽管他们不是真的生气。



Money. I am biased in favour of Singapore again because their currency and ours are interchangeable, it’s just things are very expensive there. The Purchasing Power Parity thing makes sense to me because if an item looks like it costs a dollar, it’s really a dollar. In HK, if something looks like it costs a dollar… it does… but it’s disguised as HKD6.00. That figure faks me up big time when I am buying even a small bag that costs hundreds of HKD, which seems expensive but actually not. I had to always take out my phone to get on the currency converter.

钱。我再次偏向新加坡，因为他们的货币和我们的是可以互换的，只是那里的东西非常贵。购买力平价对我来说是有意义的，因为如果一件商品价值1美元，那就支付1美元就好。在香港，如果一件东西价值1美元，但它会被伪装成港币6元。所以当我买了一个几百港币的小包时，这个数字会让我很崩溃，虽然它看起来很贵，但实际上并不贵。我总是要拿出手机才能接通货币转换器。

Places to visit. Both have lots of interesting places to visit. For non-authentic places, Singapore wins. In fact, they kinda spoiled my visit to HK which happened a few months later. The zoos, museums and parks are so world class in Singapore that I found similar places in HK quite boring.

旅游景点。两者都有许多有趣的地方可参观。在休闲的观光场所上，新加坡胜出。事实上，他们破坏了我几个月后的香港之行。新加坡的动物园、博物馆和公园都是世界级的，我觉得香港的这些地方很无聊。

I still enjoyed HK though, mainly because of the lower temperature (during my visit) and its authenticity. They live a life of not trying to please people, they just want to survive. Tourist who? Right, they won’t treat you any better than they do with their own people. If I were to stay in HK to work, I’d find it easier to adapt to their lifestyle as they won’t make it any easier for you to stay in your own foreign bubble that the only way to survive is to be like them. I mean, I was shocked to hear white and even black people in HK subways speaking Cantonese to the locals! :D

不过我还是很喜欢香港，主要是因为香港的气温较低(在我观光期间)，而且它原汁原味。他们的生活不是为了取悦别人，他们只是想要生存。观光客是谁?是的，他们不会比对待你比对待他们的同胞更好。如果我留在香港工作，我会发现更容易适应他们的生活方式，因为他们不会让你更容易留在自己的外国圈子里，生存的唯一方式就是像他们一样。我是说，当我在香港地铁里听到白人甚至黑人对当地人说广东话时，我很震惊!:D
