advice to u,try to siam any dinner or drinking session if its possible.bcos naturally u will be the one paying the bill.16.5 mills is definitely enough for 2 weeks provided if u consume most of the meals at home and restrict to limited drinking session at home.if ur gal or her family is those type that wants face and likes to show off,then maybe ur money will last u just for a week.
all these are speaking from my past experience,and i owe it to my wife's superb tai ji skills which help "saves my pocket".  |
Your experiences are almost same like me, I will also try to avoid unnecessary outside dining when I'm there. However, I have a strategy, my ba xa uncle are vietnamese american & consider loaded whose own a few car workshop in Houston & he is the only one I could communicate among my bx relatives. Every year, he sure to go back vietnam once & that is the time I will also go back with bx, wherever we go, he will not allow me to pay for any expenses & he will foot all the bill, so it really ' saves my pocket'
