last night, with some fear and trepidation, i looked over our bank account and funds. ouch! things are not looking good. we spent wayyy too much money in japan. we really should have stayed there for like half of the time that we did. in the end, it looks like we somehow blew through about 7,500$ between the two of us in just 5 weeks. to put that in perspective, that’s the same amount of money we spent in the previous 4 and a half months. yeah. ouch. 4.5 months in india, myanmar, thailand, singapore, and indonesia costs us the same as just 5 weeks in japan.<\/p>\n
initially when we started out this trip, the plan was to come home in mid-september. we were doing pretty well financially though, and spending little, so as we kept adding countries, we decided that probably we would end up extending our trip until the end of december and get to see most of the places we really wanted to see. but i think that our excesses in japan may have put an end to all that. staying out till the end of december seems pretty much out of the question now, and with some *huge* plane ticket prices looming in the near future (africa to s.america), i really am starting to wonder how much longer this really will all last. i dunno… maybe the end is near…<\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
so, with all that in mind, i have a question for all of you out there. i’ve been doing a tiny bit of contract work out here while on the road. luckily for me, i can do work pretty much anywhere that has an internet cafe. so, does anyone out there know of anyone or any company that needs any web programming work done? i’m well versed in: asp.net\/c sharp\/vb script\/asp\/mysql\/sql\/php. i can set up databases etc as well. well, anyways, lemme know!<\/p>\n
