One for the parents...

This posting is dedicated to my mum. She seems to be fascinated with how much things cost so here is a quick cost guide to India.....

C= cheapest; E = most expensive

Evening meal - 80p for two (C); 4 quid (E) this included two beers though
Beer - 1 quid (C); 2 quid (E)
Tea - 8p
Coffee - 20p
3 hour bus ride - 1.20
6 hour train ride - 1.10
Cola - 15p
Lunch - about 40p
Viagra - 25p per tablet (I'll let you have these cheap mum, for me dad)
Internet surfing - about 40p per hour
Petrol (one for me dad) 60p per litre - I think that is expensive
Tuk Tuk - about 25p for 2 miles but varies wildly depending on how hard you bargain
Hotel waiters salary - 40 quid per month
Teachers salary - average 250 quid per month

Hope this helps! If you want to know more, do let me know and I'll ask for you.
