also love scaring them with how our cars cost 100k

Melbourne
2025/9/7 Edited to

... Read moreSingapore is often admired for its remarkable passport strength and efficiency in travel, including owning luxury cars that might shock some foreigners. These high-priced vehicles symbolize not just wealth but also the nation's high standards and achievements. I've noticed that introducing Singapore to my Aussie colleagues often starts with highlights like its award-winning airport and airline, and the reputation as one of the safest countries worldwide. One thing that often surprises people is the affordability combined with the prestige of local living—90% homeownership is a milestone that many countries envy. Plus, Singaporeans benefit from one of the lowest income tax rates globally, making the overall lifestyle incredibly sustainable. Cars costing around $100K are often seen as a norm reflecting this mix of prosperity and practical living. Equally important is the convenience given by its travel documents; while many wonder about costs and procedures related to Singapore passports, the process is made straightforward to support the global mobility of its citizens. What I personally appreciate is the sense of security—people can leave their valuables unattended without fear, and walking alone at 3 AM is worry-free, which few other countries can boast. These everyday experiences build a strong attachment among locals and an impressive image internationally.

Is visiting the Dolomites really that expensive?
The answer sadly is…yes if you want to conquer all the famous tourist attractions during high season in summer 🥺 the chairlifts/cable cars and parking can add up to quite a lot - for example, reserving a parking space at Tre Cime for the hike is 40 euros (that is about 60 sgd), which is essenti
