Generally, the living standard in France is higher than in Singapore, not to mention that I was in Paris. But its not that bad. If French Francs are or equal value to Singapore Dollar, I would say I will be spending more in Singapore.

Bring your student pass EVERYWHERE, and get BIG discounts. Am surprised that even though I am not a local, I am given the same treatment. This NEVER happens in Singapore.
