I’ll start this entry off by saying that this travel budget is rather inaccurate, since I pretty much stopped writing down my expenses when I got to comfortable in Singapore. So there were items that I missed, and items that probably shouldn’t be listed.
I’ve included the cheap airfare to and from Singapore in this budget, excluding the expenses incurred in the Philippines (airport & travel tax, taxi). It’s a fairly decent amount, except that it does not include any accommodation expense and no costs on souvenirs either. This budget is only for six days in Singapore: Day 1, and Days 25 to 30.

1 I used my frequent flier miles to buy my ticket, so I only had to pay the taxes and fees. | |||
2 I love this bus. | |||
3 This is only for two taxi rides, both going to Changi Airport. | |||
4 It’s so easy and cheap to use Singapore’s public transport system. Fares are cheaper if you use an Ez-link card. | |||
5 This includes meals outside the house and groceries for the meals I cooked at my brother’s flat | |||
6 3G/HSPA is my downfall. |
