    Hey Brett, I’m surprised you didn’t get the SG tourist pass at the Airport, it allows you to travel complete bus & train (MRT) network for $10SGD for one day, $16SGD for two days & $20SGD for 3 days. Singapore is so easy to get around on the MRT, you get trains every 8 mins or so . The only reason I could see catching a grab ride share taxi is if you are staying out beyond 11:30pm when trains will be on their final trip of the night or if you are going to some far out corner of the island. I caught the train back to the Airport & you get a small amount back when you return the tourist pass.

    I dont like how foreigners always think Singapore is so expensive when truly it isn't. All of these business report of "worlds most expensive city" is really meant for wealthy expats. If u enter the city anticipating it to be expensive it will feel expensive
    Cheap goods are everywhere u just need to look in the right places and stray away from the touristy areas.
    My gorilla pod is from Sim Lim Square tech mall, 4$, been using it for 5 years, food is definately cheaper than most cities with hawker centres and taxis are far cheaper than other cities.

      I would have to say if you compare the food to other countries it definitely is not as expensive. But they consider in the factor of our wages here, as well as rent, houses, cars, and of course the taxes and more. If you do consider our wages in terms of what we have to pay. It definitely is expensive.

  • @ellecaledonia348

    I think this “expensive city” title is for residents who have to pay the taxes and fees, i.e. SGD 10,000 just for the privilege of owning a car. But for a visitor, it’s not expensive at all. Yes! You can definitely get a filling meal for $5.

      taxes are extremely low... first $20k = $0 income tax and an average salaried man making $30-50k a year pays $100-300 (for the whole year). GST is 7% and common folks get annual GST vouchers of several hundreds to offset this. The people who will feel it to be expensive are people who want luxury items... ordinary living is extremely low cost, almost ridiculously cheap.

    Tbh I think we're being a bit too harsh on him: he did say at the end that the Grab rides and food options were quite cheap. Given the fact that he's staying in the city and may not probably travel to the heartlands, the food options he chose were rather ideal. And he did the hack to Sentosa: walk into the island, then take the train inside as travelling inside Sentosa is free!
    Some tweaks I would have done:
    - Other hawker centres in town such as Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market and Chinatown Complex would have been great options
    - Sim Lim Square is a great place for cheap camera accessories
    - Instead of taking a Grab, Gardens by the Bay is accessible via foot from Bayfront MRT (and it's probably a more scenic way to travel in too)
    - Probably not go to a club lol but if it's your only time in Singapore, going to Marquee sounds about right

    It's been 14-years since I was in Singapore, while I was in the Navy. I loved the place. The rail system was inexpensive, and easy to understand. I also thought China Town had lots of inexpensive bargains, though I am sure you could find items for less in other countries. It was a beautiful city, people were friendly, and I always felt safe.

    I'm an expatriate in Singapore from 🇮🇹🇮🇹. It's a really expensive country but it's so worth it. We are so advanced and changi airport has been crowned most luxurious airport several years in a row. In terms of the gum rule that is a rumor. It is completely legal to chew gum but illegal to sell it or spit it on the street. In terms of bubble tea, a place I would recommend is LiHO. It's very affordable and I would recommend it. Places to stay without a budget would be air bnbs. Once you come with no budget (I know you want to come back), you should try Din Tai fung. I'm pretty sure they have one in nyc but in my opinion here in sg it's better.

    Live here since 18 years. Rooms can be pricy, but most of the other things you can do on a budget. Transport is good and cheap:taxis, bus, mrt. Better then in the US or Europe. Food the same, lots of the sightseeing is free, some museums are free. There is a lot of things you can do for 100 bucks. Just maybe 2 things: 1) coffee is dirt cheap here. Nobody drinks those fancy designer coffees if you on a budget. You can get coffee, good coffee...for a dollar at stalls and places such as Toast Box. As you would in most large asian cities btw. 2) I’m a photographer and you definitely can get much cheaper accessories for your camera. But of course not in the shiny shops in the middle of the city or tourist areas. Yes, Singapore can be expensive too, but the cool thing is thete are often essential options foe various price levels. That goes for food, transport and housing. As a traveller on a budget though, you propably can enjoy more things in other parts of south east asia.

      I'll take it. City Backpacker Biber for 30 CHF a night. For breakfast, probably something from Ässbar or something light for like 8 CHF. First day I'll just explore the city -- lake Zürich, free museums, Grössmünster and Fraumünster. The library. For a quick lunch since I'll be walking around I'll just get something to go from Migros. Maybe the set meal as it's more filling. That's about 12 CHF. For dinner I'll go to Louis Takeaway because I absolutely love the burger there. 20 CHF or less for a great burger, fries and a drink. Even cheaper if I have a student pass. For the nightlife, I'll get some alcohol and drink by the lake or just roam the streets. I'll maybe buy a drink at a bar if I feel like it. The next day I'll buy the 9 o clock pass or day ticket for ~15 CHF. Grab something light from Migros. Emi Latte and Knusperbröt and a bar of Swiss chocolate. Probably < 10 CHF. Picnic at the top of Ütliberg. For lunch I'll take the ship ride in my Tageskarte to Rapperswil and have lunch there. Maybe a pizza from Dieci while I admire the river view. Probably 20 CHF for a whole pizza funghi. I'll explore awhile and head back to Zürich for dinner. Takeaway from Burgermeister. Or if I'm not planning to spend on nightlife, probably I can splurge and go to Swiss Chüchi or Zughauskeller for a traditional Swiss dinner. The veal meat in mushroom sauce, Zürich art. All in all less than 100 CHF a day. :p Experienced Asian (skimping tendencies) whom lived in Switzerland for 6 months heh heh.
