Lol. I think many Singaporeans still haven't realized that we are truly the most expensive city in the world to live in.
That's what I'm telling you guys every now n then.
Many things were already cheaper than sillypore when the exchange rate was at ard 72yen to SG$1.... now at 85-86yen... it will be even cheaper... regardless if they raise GST or not
Cars, fuel prices, hotel rates (yes not kidding) are considerably cheaper than sillypor
Eg, which local 4 star hotel can u book for just SG$89/night?
And the hotel room is very big and lux... size about 90% of our new 3 room flat...
I paid just that at Sapporo Tokyu Excel Hotel when I was there last year. Superb high floor unobstructed view of Nakajima Park and greater Sapporo..
TMD, even Hotel 81 charges over SG$150 per night... its expensive to open a room for a quickie in SG too
