....It's costing Howard a lot more than he ever thought.

Keep that in mind.

$250 per week is plenty if you stay in simple hotels. If you move around a lot (island hopping) and want to stay in superior hotels, count on $500 per week. Baguio City is the "Summer Capital" for many of the affluent Filipinos and therefore more expensive than the rest of the Philippines.

what you consider "average", or "super fancy".

With lizards or without.
With A/C or without.
With running water or without.
With community toilet / shower, or without.
With private toilet and shower in your room, or without.

In the Philippines, "average" is in the eye of the beholder.

If you want a real taste of life, ask your filipina lady to show you how to wash your underwear in a river with a bar of tide soap.

It really is, all relative.

North Luzon is not expensive, if you where in Sagada you can get by on P300 a day room and board. Humabdos
