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.
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!
Play money??? sure looks like it...NOTICE: anyone reading this who know me via e-mail...please mail me so I can copy your e-mail address....lost all my info!!!!!
Welcome to the world of insignificant, everyday Singapore. This is our attempt to capture what life is like for an American family living in Singapore. The everyday side of life. The side that cares about things like Cheerios and Ziplock Bags.

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

Wow, even with the exchange rate, you paid a lot more for a drink than I can imagine! $53.95? Hope it was yummy... ;-)
