I live in Asia but the company is US based (Vegas) but I am from Sydney. Took the kids for a holiday there a few months back and yes....it was hugely expensive.
I am in the US several times a year and it, compared to Sydney, seems real cheap. Exchange rate, the costs and the tax rate and I cant go home except for a holiday.... thats sad.
Sydney is still beautiful and nothing beats lunch at Doyles but when the shittiest Chinatown eatery (That does great food) called BBQ King is $100 plus for a decent feed then insanity wins.
