water

This was my breakfast yesterday... the cup noodles, i mean... and it cost s$8 even when i already had the cup noodles itself!

cos there was no hot water in the room and i had to ask for room service to send it up and it cost 4euros! *shock*

my colleague paid the 4euros on the spot, but later it was charged to our hotel bill again... as it turned out, the 4euros that was paid on the spot was taken as a tip!!

sigh...

food here is restaurant price and not as expensive as i had braced myself for... but water, that's another issue... think my major expense here is on water... s$6 or more at each meal (beer is the cheapest liquid, coke is more expensive at many places)... and mineral water throughout the day... maybe i should try drinking tap water...
