13. Singapore
Singapore’s prices, much like Japan’s, aren’t quite as scary as some of the other prices on this list, but the place is on this list for a reason. After taking into account Singapore’s conversion rate (which is 0.742 USD / SGD, by the way), I found that Singapore’s prices aren’t too far away from Tokyo’s. A nice lunch costs about 9 US dollars, a carton of eggs is something like three dollars, and the average rent doesn’t seem to climb above $3,000 US, which isn’t so bad. However, it’s the other things here that might break your bank. A pair of jeans here cost 84 US dollars, and a brand new car is just a few thousand dollars below $100K, which is obscene for many people. Thankfully, the cost of gas there isn’t so bad, but I can’t even imagine what that car payment would look like.
