First Week's Budget In India

---

I've done fairly well in keeping my expenses low. However, I can do better! Here is a daily list of the money I have spend in India:

Tuesday, June 29 482 rupees The most expensive item was the taxi from the airport to Sudder street (304 after a small tip).

Wednesday, June 30 307 rupees Including 56rs for a meal in a restaurant.

Thursday, July 1 242 rupees I spent 101rs on something, but I cannot remember what.

Friday, July 2 435 rupees Ben and I alternated when paying for our room, so 300rs was the biggest expense.

Saturday, July 3 251 rupees

Sunday, July 4 446 rupees

Monday, July 5 445 rupees

Tuesday, July 6 117 rupees Nothing but street food, water, a bus, and the internet for an hour.

Total- 2,725 rupees. Average of about 389 a day. Or 56.6 RMB. Or 8.35 dollars.

Sky-clad
Some Jains believe to achieve moksha, one must shed himself of all attachments and possessions. Therefore women, who of course can never be publicly naked, cannot become fully transcendent. This guy probably keep his costs low.

daily expenses
Forget it. You will not be able to match my daily exp as a PCV on a subsistence atoll. PC paid me $1.75 a day. I saved that and had enough money to buy 3 cases wiskey. None ever arrived on island. Some years latter, my brother Simnera or maybe it was Mopie, they are brothers, and mine also, told me that he had drank one case. Rumor said one case in Yap by Far boys but maybe it was 2. None never arrived. But this is not a contest to be money free. God bless yourself.
