i think she meant countries like Europe and such. But yes i agree with you. as compared to the neighboring contries, singapore's cost of living is definitely more expensive. That's why people like me sometimes do my shopping in JB.

I would think if good food is as cheap as people claim....that makes up for the high cost of accommodation. Seems like a fair trade. :-)

Income Tax is the only thing that keeps me and my husband here super large full stop!!!!

Night life... pants...
Hawker food great and cheap. Not number 1 thou as I am learning all these foods so can cook them at home when we go back...

Everything else way over the top expencive and I come from the UK where it is supposed to be expencive NO LAH NOT CORRECT (of course TAX much much higher). Compared to my lovely 3 bed home in the UK I might add london and within the M25...we pay 3 times that here for a 2 bed condo (ok yes we have a pool here bonus, and my husbands company pays for it) thats what keeps us here for now. low tax and that fact were on an expat contract.
OH must not forget what a hub for seeing asia we travel almost every month for cheap cheap and all other asian countries are so much more cheaper than Singapore.

But I will add once we have saved enough $$$ were off
