Cigs cost 5- 6 Euros a packet, a beer 2.5 Euros. This doesn't include clubbing, a stroll down the Reeperbahn or a date with the remote possibility of intimacy. How does that square with the Thai cost of living?
P.S. VAT just went up to 19%. It's snowing here and the temperature is -9C. Can't wait to do LOS again.
