34 years ago
I was just coming back from a World tour that lasted over 4
and 1/2 months. I remember staying at the Inter Continental
Hotel in Bankok for $19.99 per night. At the Hillton Hotel in
Istanbul for about the same price. At the Miramar in Hongkong
for about $22 per day and at the Tahitian village in Tahiti
for $15. I can hardly believe I lived those days of plenty.
Of course eating a meal cost me an average of $5 to $10. With
$5000 budget I lived for 4 months and brought back home over
$2000 . My experience was so unique that all my friends at the
time were jealous. Today I look back and treasure the memory.
