Cover the Costs

*All Prices in Canadian Dollars*

  • Three hour "luxury" bus ride, 4 hour tour of 2nd Century BC to 6th Century AD Caves, 3 hour return bus ride: $15

  • Bhelipuri street vendor mini dinner. About a side plate's worth of curry and vegetable and noodles (yum!): A quarter

  • Bright Green Ice Cream Cone with Bright Red Ice Cream (albeit tiny): 13 cents

  • Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde Paperback: $3

  • Apple Milkshake, Chinese Noodle (large) salad, Veggie-ball curry, pakota buttered bread, plain naan bread and Indian Drumstick equivalent ice cream cone - including decent tip <$4

  • Hotel Room for a night. With 2 single beds, cable TV (BBC and WB plus 100 Indian stations showing cricket), hot water showers, and a balcony! $10 per night.

All in all a few rupees tend to go a long way. I think I'm going to save it up and blow it on something big and adrenaline-pumping. I've got a few ideas. Any suggestions?

  1. I forgot to add.. 2 hours internet posting this plus 5 pages printed: $1 because I befriended the shop keeper (and at least 7 of his other buddies) and then bullied him into giving me a discount on printing :P

  2. Were you drunk? Because sometimes when you're drunk you become a bully.
