I'll list them in dollars this time.
My share for a chartered bus to go to Gao Chun $11 (charter of the entire bus and services of the driver from 6 am to 2 pm was $220), and we had 20 ppl.)
Special sunglasses to view the eclipse - $1.5
It was cloudy, so we could see it only at certain moments, when clouds passed. So I did not get to see it when eclipse was total. It was blocked by a cloud. But it got pitch dark -- that was amazing! I am glad I went. Here are my pics:
starting to twilight(it got totally dark for few final minutes) that was so werid.
Bottled teas on the way back $1
Private tutoring session for 2.5 hours $15 total
Coffee and tiramisu at the German bakery -- $5.6 (almost twice as expensive as that dinner)
But it was good, and the weather was nice. It was the first day it was not too hot to sit outside.
So I drank my coffee and people watched (and they watched me ) My view:
It rained quite hard today, so the tiny street between the dorm and the cafe turned to this when I came back:
Right now it is raining again.
Supermarket shopping:
2 1.5L bottles of water, one small bottle, mechanical pencil, eraser, notebook, pack of hair bands, 2 packs of stick-on hooks, a pack of individually wrapped hand wipes.
Grand total... $3
Dinner:
These 3 dishes and 1.2 liters of beer were in total 60yuan:
Divided by 3 people, $3 (20 yuan) per person.
Why would anyone cook, really?
I think not a bad day for $40.
China, Day 18 and its expenses.
