In Singapore....you need some big notes cos some things are VERY expensive over there. Just as one example...when I was last living there in 1991...I had a company car and lived in an 3 bedroon luxury apartment near Orchard Road that my company paid for. All I had to drive was a simple Toyota Corolla...which costs $16,000 in the USA...but that same car costs US$75,000 in Singapore (they place a 400% tax on all cars....cos they want to restict the number of cars being used on such a small island). And my apartment was nothing special...just a typical 3 bedroom apartment you can rent for $1000 a month in Florida....but my apartment in Singapore cost US$15,000 per month in rent.
In Singapore...the shopping is very cheap (though you can get electronics at much better prices if you go to Hong Kong)....but actually LIVING in Singapore is as expensive as Tokyo.

By Desert Hawk - Sat 18/11/06 21:37:39 GMT Singapore has a ten thousand dollar bill in circulation. It is the largest bill anywhere in the world. It is worth approx. $6200 US. Kinda makes the 500 euro note seem puny. If I ever get rich I am going to get a Singapore $10000 bill. If I get really rich I will get an uncut press sheet of them and frame it and hang it on my wall, next to a "Big Phil" Austrian 1000 troy ounce 100000 euro gold coin! I like to dream big. Until then I will have to be content with my 500 euro bill. |
In reply to Message (25876) Singapore wetlook?
By Russ - russ@russ.net Sat 18/11/06 13:18:48 GMT I'm going to Singapore in a few weeks. Anyone know of any good wetlook spots?
My last trip to Leeds England wasn't too fruitful since it was fairly cool, but it was rainy season so I got to see a few ladies running around in the rain in their Uggs :)
