6 clothing and personal daily expenses

Singapore is located in the tropics, with a rainy climate at the equator, with small annual and daily temperature differences. The average daily temperature is about 24-3 1 degree Celsius and the humidity is about 84%, so you basically don't need coats, boots and other items here.

Buying clothes in Singapore is not very expensive. For example, a summer dress costs about 40-80 Singapore dollars, a pair of jeans costs about 70- 150 Singapore dollars, and a pair of leather shoes costs about 90- 195 Singapore dollars. Speaking of discount season, you can buy it at buy buy!

In Singapore, cars drive on the left, which is just the opposite of China's driving habits. If you plan to live and work in Singapore for a long time, it is necessary to know the relevant information about buying vehicles in Singapore in advance, and before that, it is very important to change your domestic driver's license into a Singapore driver's license.

The car ownership rate of Singaporeans is low, with only 149 people per 1000 people. The reason is that the related consumption is too high after buying a car, registering and putting it into use. For example, buying a Volkswagen Golf 2.0 in Singapore almost costs more than S $ 654.38+0.3 million, while the cost of adding a liter of gasoline costs more than S $2. In addition, the car registration fee 140 Singapore dollars, the maximum additional registration fee 180% of the car value!
