I've included all the ones that came out somewhat decently from Peru all the way to Australia.

Singapore Budget Breakdown

Singapore was our first foray into the Asian continent and we had a great time getting to know the island nation. Among travelers, it has a strong reputation of being extremely expensive and a lot of people avoid going for that reason. Well, we were glad we went and in case you're wondering, here's how much we spent in the week we were there.
