I was amazed myself! Especially when comparing what I spent in London per day. Yikes.

I featured you in my links last week! Spreading your awesomeness around…

are you going to south east asia at all?

Wow- that’s just SO CHEAP!!!! I don’t even live in a big city but that’s very close to what our living expenses are here in the states. Chances are too that you’re having much more fun….

Of course you may have to increase that entertainment portion a bit…

This is a prime example of the amazing thing about traveling. You can spend so little even in a big city. $50/day is what my rent/utilities alone costs living in Washington DC!
