Singapore to Hong Kong - Cost Of Living?

[rabbitnini]

3-4brm HDB house rental around s$2000 Per month depends on location,
condo or apartment S$4000 plus minus.

2 cars, you see the COE is abt 10000S$ for each car, it varies every month,
(13000 in july and 7000 more in Oct.) more expensive, you have to tell me the car brand, 1500 fuel or road tax is minimum.

a maid may cost several hundred dollars, don't forget the levy,
Coke-less than 2s$, Pearl rice 5kg about 12S$, chicken 8 to 10S$ per KG,
Apple 5 for 3$, shampoo, $10 per 1000ml...
Movie tickets 9 to 10S$

wonder if he still reads into this forum, he might be in HK already seeing how his post was from 2007! but yea cost of living here is more or less exactly the same as in singapore, land is more sacred here...food and land is more expensive, in fact things that relate to the usage of land in hong kong is probably one of the most expensive in the world, if not THE most

How much do you think I need to be earning in Hong Kong to maintain the same standard of living my current salary package gives me in Singapore???

one thing is sure...HK is one of the expensive city in the world...
