My affordable yet fun Singapore adventure.
Singapore is one of the most highly-developed cities in the South East Asia Region. It is a popular destination for people who want to go shopping, experience Universal Studios, and trying Asian foods. Being that it is a highly-developed country means that it is also expensive to travel.So to break the impression of Singapore as an expensive travel destination, I am sharing to you my 200$ (277 SGD/ 9000 PHP) pocket money adventure in Singapore.
Disclaimer: The 200$ itinerary doesn't involve the hotel accommodation and airfare since these two factors always change depending on the time you purchase it or bought it.
Having friends who also travel a lot outside of the country, the common tip they always give to me is to bring 300$ as pocket money. I know I'm from the Philippines and I need to use pesos as a starting currency, but when you go to other countries, US dollars is the common and not hassle currency to bring and have exchange for.
So here is my 3 day simple itinerary :)

If you are planning to visit Singapore soon, may this itinerary give you a hint on how much to spend in Singapore. I might be stingy when it comes to shopping and buying things, the one thing I always look forward to when travelling is the experience and not much on the shopping part. I want to be back there soon because its just a good place to visit! A lot of interesting and amazing things to look forward there! :)
