I would guess for a single person with average requirements you probably need around $800 per month. I am sure that you can do it cheaper and I know that you can do it a lot more expensive!

Sandie,

Thanks for the information. I'm confused, though...

"Food is cheap - you can eat at hawker stalls for about $10."

Is that $10 per day? [sounds expensive to me!] or $10 per month? [dirt cheap]
