When I have a crisp green linen USD$20 in my wallet, I usually think twice before breaking it. But, give me a brightly colored, papery S$50, I have no trouble parting with it. . . after all, it isn't REAL money.
Good thing I don't see them often!

You're right, it does look like play money! I remember thinking that about bills in Europe when I went.
I can go look it up, but for the ease of others who might read here, can you tell us the exchange rate?
I love foreign currency, it's always so pretty!
As of 3/12/08, the exchange rate was 1 U.S. Dollar = 1.39 Singapore Dollar
I have no idea how much i spent when I went to go visit you. All I know is that bills kept flying left and right out of my wallet! And I didn't even think twice! $75 sing dl for a singapore sling... easy!
Wow, even with the exchange rate, you paid a lot more for a drink than I can imagine! $53.95? Hope it was yummy... ;-)
