Daily expenses in Ngapali, Myanmar #1

We arrived in Ngapali on October 16th. It took me some time to adapt myself to the new environment but I think now it’s getting better and better 🙂 For this blog post, I’m gonna breakdown our daily expenses from October 24th to October 30th. We’re not paying any rent because we work in a hostel in exchange for free accommodation 🙂

Conversion rate: K 1,400 = 1€

If it’s your first time reading one of my blog post, here’s a quick heads up:

My boyfriend, Davidson and I, left Paris on June 15th for a 6-month trip in Asia. We had enough savings until September. So yeah, it’s risky but we took the leap anyway.

So far, we’re not bankrupt yet!

October 24th

    • Lunch: K 5,200 I’ll call this restaurant the restaurant at the junction of the main road in Ngapali because the name is only in Burmese.

  • Top up Ooredo: K 5,000 the previous week, I bought one Ooredo sim card for K 1,000. This topup is for 1Go of data.

Total cost: K 10,200 (7.29€)

October 25th

    • Lunch: K 43,080 we had lunch at Bayview with Gunther from Ngapali Concierge. He’s a Costa Rican living there for 4 years already (or 5?). He asked the chef a special burger with feta cheese and cheddar. It was too big for me. Couldn’t finish it ahah
