Hong Kong is very reasonable, especially food. Hotel is kind of expensive but no worse than NYC.


Agreed. Food is quite reasonable, the dim sums is fabulous and can be had inexpensively, plus there are scores of little hole in walls Chinese restaurants with great food that would put Chinatown to shame and for reasonable prices. Transportation around by the metro is quick and cheap.

We stayed on HK Island and didn't find our hotel overly expensive. I think we paid around $120 a night for a perfectly fine room in a Best Western type hotel.


HK is the most expensive place to live in the world, but definitely not to visit. Real estate is akin to the likes of Manhattan and people pay over 100% sales tax for cars. The food and public transportation cost, on the other hand, is a different story.

The most expensive place I visited was Geneva Switzerland during my business trips. Thank god for per diem allowances....

WAs this recently? I assume most of us aren't hosteling at this point. Food, laundry, drinks, activities, etc were all expensive. (In some national parks you had to pay to use the toilet.) soup at geyser was about $25. My friend had a $50 hamburger at a dumpy restaurant.

Depends on how you visit. Tanzania is extremely expensive if you expect your same products from home, safaris are pretty pricey and nice hotels are costly. Local food and budget options are of course really inexpensive though, but quality is not as good.

Switzerland though is across the board freaking out of control.

Was waiting to see Singapore come up on this thread. It's $18 for a cocktail over there!
