Celebrating our 5 month travel anniversary has brought us to an all time low in funds resulting in penny-pinching to the max.
1. Celebrating Devon's 23rd drinking "White Mischief" (that's "vodka") and forcing others to drink it as well.
2. Opting for the cheap bus to Chiang Mai from Bangkok, Anj sleeps on shoulder of Thai man next to her. This is the bus where one large seat counts as two.
3. Overnight train to Dharamsala stacked 3 people high on metal bunks that fold out of the wall. Takes 2 people and about 10 minutes to hoist backpacks up to our top level.
4. Thai street food: 2 rounds of grilled chicken, noodles, soup - 200 baht. That's pennies in US $.
5. Shamelessly stealing TP everywhere. Priceless.
6. Massages for an hour and a half - less than $4.
7. Hearing the Dalai Lama speak: priceless.
8. Staying with family and friends and friends of friends of friends.
9. Befriending wealthy Indian man with extra tickets to a dance performance. Benefiting from friendship and enjoying 2 hours of Veena playing and Kathak and Mohiniyattam dance forms for free.
10. Free drinks and entertainment in Ko Phangnan. Participating in flaming jump rope, foam dance party and musical chairs: priceless.
11. Arguing over 50 cent difference in Diet vs. regular Coke and leaving because of the "pricey"discrepancy.
12. Having wallet stolen so down $50. Shit! No lunch this week.
