Today at American Express Studios

we're talking about two cutting edge destinations

that'll make you want to buy a one way ticket.

First up, Singapore,

a city that feels like it's already in the future.

Sure, they have old temples.

But they also have citywide Wi-Fi, Bitcoin ATMS,

and crazy architecture.

The subway is one of the fastest I've ever seen.

And there's a connected infrastructure

that diverts traffic from congested areas.

And the tech you can buy.

3D printers, VR headsets, mobile phone projectors.

It's crazy town.

Now in the future we might be sending you to a city

that has flying cars, but Tokyo has the next best thing,

a magnetic levitation train and robots that wander museums.

And if all that tires you out, head to a restaurant

that will let you order off of a tablet,

and receive your food via conveyor belt.

And if you're still on the fence about checking

these places out, just think.

These two cities have probably become more futuristic

than they were at the beginning of this episode.

Because science, that's why.
