二百 200

I am pleased to report that my 200NT per day budget is working quite well. Given the current UK exchange rate it's still four pounds per day on all three meals, and I think I could maybe make it about 20NT cheaper but I think 150NT would be pushing it to much.

Normally my breakfast is costing about 15-20NT.

Lunch and dinner is about 70-100NT depending where I eat.

But I have been cutting back on the other stuff like snacks or fizzy drinks, I'm thinking do I really need to drink this? I could just have water instead. In a way I know it's good to question what you buy and consume but I do find it upsetting because I'm questioning buying a can of 25NT lemonade because I am thinking that's breakfast, what a crazy situation to be in.

二百 Vs Wang Hao

The 200 NT on food per day challenge is going well, I haven't broken my budget yet and I am normally left with about 20-15 NT not much but it all adds up, so I hope I can keep it up. Today I only had dumping for lunch which was 30NT and yes my co-workers were quite impressed but I think I should of order more than 10 as I now have tummy rubbles developing.

I actually read about a guy called Wang Hao, in China who is spending about, 100 Yuan which about 10 pounds and half of what I am spending to live on a week. He wanted "high-earning, big-spending people" to embrace a simpler life.

But I am living in Taiwan, Taipei which is more exspensive than China and my change is only Monday-Friday I don't count the weekends and transport to work is not counted either but I am only taking the bus which is 12NT. I also don't count my self as a high earner!

1000 Dollar Working Week

The title sounds better than it is, but i'm going to try and not spend more than 200 NT (二百) per day on Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

That's roughly about 4 pounds sterling per day on all these meals including drink, it doesn't seem like a lot money considering what my counter parts spend, but they get more cash to flash than me!

But I must be able to remain healthy and fit while on this more tuned budget. I think it's possible providing I eat only Taiwanese food and stay away from the westerner theme restaurants.
