Prices

And today, as I leave for Nanning in a few hours, I will just run down a list of prices for items. And remember: 1 USD=6.83413 CNY

-Bottle of water=1.5 yuan
-24 pack of beer=18 yuan (warning: contains formaldehyde and tastes worse than sewage water)
-750ml Bottle of decent Chinese beer=4 yuan
-Bowl of rice noodles and meat for breakfast=2 yuan
-Riding the bus=1 yuan
-Taking a motorbike taxi=2 yuan
-Taking a train (4 hour trip)=65 yuan
-750ml cup of milk tea=3 yuan
-Average taxi ride to anywhere in the city=10 yuan
-Average cost of meal at cheap but good restaurant=10 yuan
-A DVD (not bootleg)=20 yuan
-A DVD (bootleg)=6 yuan
-A ping pong paddle equivalent to the best paddles in the US=40 yuan
-Getting into public parks/tourist spots=20-100 yuan (But Shuai knows people to make it free)
-Packet of tissues to use at restaurants/toilets=2 yuan
-Electric Vespa-esque scooters=1000 yuan
-That really nice telephoto lens I want=5000 yuan
-Pay-as-you-go SIM Card=50 yuan

Now it is time to eat and prepare to leave for Nanning and Beihai. I'm not sure what type of internet access I will have there, so I'm not aware of what my posting frequency will be. Goodbye.
