Transportation is killer here and while our daily total ended up being less than our average in Thailand, I was still shocked to see how much we spent on buses and food. Our "other" items also added up as well, from the pills I had to finally buy to combat my allergy symptoms, to the cheap underwear and clothes on offer at Penneys, a local store that Steve and I can't stay away from (though I'm the only one who ever buys anything!) As always, Workaways and Couchsurfing saved our butts here, as it could have been much, much worse.
