Southeast Asia in Numbers

Today marks my third week traveling (24 more!!) and rather than share stories of arduous bus rides, I thought I would give insight to the daily costs of this kind of a trip:

4 Baguettes (they are everywhere because of the French influence!): 50 cents

2 glasses of green tea: 25 cents

Coca Cola (can): 50 cents

One night's stay in a room with hot shower, air con, and TV: $7

A hot glass of Lipton Tea: 60 cents ( a splurge)

Local draught beer: 25 cents

Bottled beer: $1-2

Yogurt with Muesli (mmm): $2

Snickers Bar: $1

Bus ride (3-5 hours): $6

Bus ride (12 hours, sleeping bus): $13

Moto ride around the city: $1

This is in no way meant to be a Mastercard commercial...Just some insight to the daily costs.
