(11) Asian Mathematics

(*) here is a tally of what my trip somewhat cost up until this point, for those of you wishing to attempt the same thing.

(*) Hong Kong. $1 U.S. dollar = $8 Hong Kong dollars.

i first took out 400 HK. 100 HK for my room and 90HK for the ride form the airport into the city. 190 HK for the trip from Hong Kong to Guangzhou.

(*) China proper. $1 U.S. dollar = 8 yuan.

guangzhou to nanning by soft sleeper was 274 yuan. 2 pieces of bread total were 10 yuan. a bowl fo noodles & a bit of meat form the chinese muslim restaurant were 5 yuan. the hostel cost 80 yuan. 28 yuan spent on life-saving water during my walk through the 10 pound losing guangzhou first day jaunt and two batteries. since i took out 500 yuan, 103 yuan was remaining after my first day of guangzhou.

on the second day in guangzhou, i spent 20 yuan on beef & noodles, 16 yuan on water & ramen for the train ride, 5 yuan for wataer at the park, 5 yuan for a beer, and 17 yuan for the train ride from nanning to pingxiang.

the economics of the remaining portion of my trip will be inserted here, there, and elsewhere.
