    Would you live in Thailand if it cost the same as Singapore?

    I'm thinking not!

    Nice one Smeg, really a thought provoking, controversial and original OP, I wonder why no he thought of this before? Sure to elicit some rich, deep and interesting feedback. Perhaps you could use some of the material for you PhD?

    I, for one, am glad you are back.

    My current salary would not support Singapore prices. So no I would not live here.

    The novelty of a beer costing half of my salary would soon become tiresome.
