Rice is inexpensive ;)
Meals are from $2.50 to $6.00 CAD at most places we have eaten so far. Coffee is $1. A large beer is $3.50 and a small beer is $2.50. A 2L bottle of water is 50 cents. A 19L bottle of water is $7 and to refill it is $2. A used bike is $40-70 (Chrissie and I each bought a bike today to get around... saves us the $2.50 daily rental fee abd we can sell the bikes for the same amount when we leave). We are sharing a lovely room with a fan, bathroom, coldwater shower, deck, king bed for $200/month. To be honest, we aren't sure what the uptick will be for double occupancy. Nobody actually collects payment for anything ahead if time. Chrissie has been here nearly 3 weeks and hasn't paid a cent for our room yet.
