Life is hard… I sometimes have a difficult time comprehending that a weekly shopping cost for average expats here is about half or sometimes a full month salary for some domestic helps. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
It’s really hard in Singapore with the income gap getting wider and wider. I am lucky (& feel guilty) in comparison as there is no minimum wage here. I wonder how the lowest income folk cope.
