Agreed! Things in NYC are cheaper! At least for me it's generally SGD15-40 cheaper than prices you'd get in Singapore.
How was the palce you stayed in NJ?

Better bring more warm clothing cos its going to be cold in Dec at the falls. Oso some attractions like maid of the mist is closed in winter i believe.

But you might be lucky and see the falls frozen

Great! An old Victorian house which was on need of restoration repairs at some parts. Creaky stairs up to bedrooms and a old gas stove (never seen one before). I liked it and it didn't bother me.

Everything was good except the fact that I can't get how you guys still use two knobs (one for hot and one for cold) to get your water to the desired temperatures.

It was indeed safe at the part I stayed. Coming home at 2:30am on the first night :O

Usually winter season is low peak period, you can fly to Washington DC for about $1.1k on SV. Only problem is the long layover.

appple product is cheapest in HK because no tax

you can buy and ship to your hotel just remember to put the check in date beside your name, as much info as possible and take note diff states has different sales tax, for example in las vegas its lower sales tax by a little than Los angeles.. so even if i were to pump gas at las vegas, its always cheaper than in los angeles

confirm has 2 check in bag (23kg x2) and 1 carry up, i just help friend buy :s13:\ , but just play safe, call up sg DELTA airline ask and see first

Delta Baggage policy

Between US and SG is 1 free, with the exception of 2 free bags for tickets purchased on or after 1 Apr 2014. If domestic flights purchased within the same ticket, the baggage allowance will be the same throughout. However, if purchased separately, then domestic baggage fees applies. (US$25 1st bag, US$35 2nd bag)

hmm... really depends
ipad air2 in HK is HKD$3888 or sgd$640, USA is usd$399+tax of say 10% its still sgd$560.
mac book air HKD$6688 (sgd$1100 ) vs USD$899 ( sgd$1260 with tax )


as for gas there are other taxes not just sales tax. anyway.. gas in Cali always high.. want cheap gas go TX!
