Less Than a Dollar

Everthing is cheap, EVERYTHING. Even in a tourist town like Yangshuo, prices are only a fraction of what they are in America. If I ever do pay for a meal or drinks (the Chinese usually pick up my ticket- "Chinese custom" they say) it hasn't been more than $3. Even the huge meal we had at City in City was only 15 yuan per person (little over $2). All meals at the school are prepared by a man and his wife, and cost around 50 cents. I bought several mandarin oranges at the market yesterday for around 20 cents, I bought a cell phone and more than 1200 minutes all for less than $50, and best of all, i bought, or rented for 6 months, a bike today for only around 20 bucks. Check it out...

  1. Nice ride! A good lock is key if you want to keep that bike for 6 months. My bike was "donated" back to the "used bike market" a few months after I bought it. I'm glad to see you made it there in one piece and are doing well.
