Internet $20
Water $10
In Makati you can think
Studio 15K ($310)
1BR 22K ($430)
2BR 35K+ ($725)
It is not unheard of to have a $300-$500 electric bill every month.
Can someone tell me what a small black coffee costs at Starbucks in the USA nowadays?
Small Black Coffee at Starbuck's (Makati) = $1.56
San Mig Beer at 7-11 41 cents
Marlboros 74 cents
Haircut, Shave, Manicure, and Color at the Barber shop (I am gray, not here) = $20
Massage 1 hour = $5
Can of Tuna = 68 cents
I can eat here on $5 a day (if I wanted to)
Food and services are cheaper. Even more so out of the city.
Hardware, Electronics and Furnishings are all same price or higher compared to USA. Gas is probably the same or more expensive.
