I got curious about how HK compared to Australia, particularly since Australia is considered to be expensive by many people. So I took the prices that Lowkoon and Blowback quoted, and tabled them along with the Australian equivalent. I converted the HK$ amount to express it in Australian dollars.

Then I guessed at the usage per year for each item, and got an annual total, which is expressed in Australian dollars.

Ouch.
