Ok, here it is the alltime record for cheapness. my last trip was
3wks cost me 2200, i have whittled down many of those expenses including airline, hotels, etc etc,
Next trip to the phils i can fly last minute courier for 300RT
plus my air to San fran adds up to about 550, my landlord gives me
half rent if i leave for a whole month and turn off the utillies
etc, so thats 225 extra to spend, which will pay for the month
rental of the condo in the phils.
So now im still at 550 for airfare and condo since i would have paid
the condo rental money in the u.s.a anyway for my rent. I spent about 20 bucks a day last trip with my gf , on .........Food, cabs, bowling,
skating, malls, blah blah blah, So thats 30x20=600 for one month
for "entertainment"..........But, i spend about 500 a month in the u.s.a on food, gas, movies, etc, so 500 of the 600 I would have spent here anyway. So only add 100 for "entertainment."..........Since i have a gf in phils, and i dont hang out in bars and buy drinks for strange women, etc, i save that expense.
So far.........550 plane, condo free since rent discount here,
and 100 more for entertainment, adds up to 650...................
add another 350 for miscellaneous entertainment. and thats 1000 bucks for a month in the phils including airfare.
Yes, im cheap but next year when i sell some of my property i will splurge a little bit and not be so kuriput. Just goes to show it doesnt have to cost an arm and a leg to go the phils.
