total budget? Given that I had given up on truly budget travel when I realised that I had more money than I had planned for? Evens out across the countries to roughly a thousand sterling a month- including all those internal flights around various countries.
I bought loads of souvenirs and things to send to other people. I did all of my Christmas shopping on holiday too.
And most definitely worth every penny :)
how about total alocoholic units drank?
ner
about a quarter of what I would have drunk had I been in Korea for the same period of time! :)
Don't forget "groovy '95 Saturn with old dog in back" for Transportation. And 1--giant mall.
I kept dreaming about snow and the sandals that I left behind in Surfers- I have got to let them go!
