Hello from Indonesia
In 2019 i went to Singapore for vacation with my class. There's one thing that really surprised me there , and it was how expensive mineral water there , it's even more expensive than milk and soda I bought near my hotel
Are anyone of you have similar experience when visit another country

What i actually mean is the mineral water sold in bottle or box there
The funny thing is all of my female student afraid to drink the tap water in Singapore despite of numerous times our guide remind us to fill their bottle with tap water as the price of mineral water in Singapore is expensive
My biggest regret is i forgot to buy huge size yakult in 7eleven when i in Singapore back then

Well, here too. water is expensive here. That`s why we bought a water filter to help us out to drink good water in the faucet

I have travelled far and wide and our first trip was to Singapore. I saw a Mall for the first time - years ago - and that mesmerized me.

I remember buying food was cheaper than bottled water. Which hotel did you stay in?
