Still somewhat stuck on Canadian time, which I'm fully aware it's not actually called "Canadian time", thanks. I woke up today around 5:30am and struggled with the realization that the mall didn't open until 11am. I needed to get my wifi set up there.
I have a Philippine phone number now but no wifi. Stores and shops don't give you their wifi password unless you purchase something, often they change it on a daily bases too and I'm on a tight budget so I can't exactly afford to go that route. I've treated myself to a few coffees out, for the sake of the wifi and getting out of the condo, but coffee here is so expensive in comparison to every thing else.
I judge the price of everything based on that all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at Bigoli.
Breakfast costs me 199Php, that's about $5.30 Canadian.
Tonight I had a business meeting to attend over in another city, in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a super posh city the Philippines that felt very much like Yorkville in Toronto. The meal for the four of us cost about 3,700PP, $100 Canadian.
I could have bought 18 all-you-can-eat breakfasts, that's more than half a month's worth, PLUS had change left over!
My budget is to stay under $150 a week.
