The year is already coming to an end. This raises a logical question – what can a tourist buy for a single U.S. dollar during their holiday journeys?
In Bulgaria one can choose between buying a coffee with milk, 100 grams of chocolate, or a kilo of sliced bread, a kilo of rice, 5 eggs, 2 kilos of potatoes, a banitsa and boza (typical Bulgarian pastry and a drink), two bottles of mineral water, a ticket for the public transport or a coupon for fake eyelash implants.
In order to prepare a salad to accompany the evening drink one would need a dollar to buy half a kilogram of tomatoes and half a kilo of cucumbers. For a dollar one can also afford a packet of roasted sunflower seeds.
In Moscow one can use a dollar to buy 400 grams of bread or a liter of milk… Or some canned vegetables. A packet of cigarettes, or a bottle of beer… A trip with the metro, or two newspapers.
In Ukraine a dollar would be enough for a packet of butter, 6 tickets for the metro in Kiev, 10 eggs, or two liters of soda.
In Turkey a dollar buys a ticket for the bus, or a liter of apple juice, half a kilo of bananas, two loaves of bread.
In Macedonia a man has to choose between the beer and snack, which is a task beyond one’s abilities.
In South Korea a ticket for the metro or a mask for Halloween costs $1.
Cambodia: two glasses of beer during the Happy Hour, delicious roasted frog legs with ginger, three crispy fried tarantulas, 4 liters of drinking water, two cans of soda, 50 g of Danish blue cheese. For $ 1 you can wash 1 kg of clothes.
In Vietnam, you can rent a bike for a day, or buy two cups of coffee with milk. For a dollar one can afford 15 minutes of cell phone talk time, a bowl of Vietnamese soup, 250 grams candied ginger, 40 quail eggs, 1 traditional cone hat, one or two newspapers, a DVD, 7 liters of water, 2 tickets for the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, two cold beers.
India: In Calcutta for $ 1 you can eat a healthy meal of rice topped with various sauces and spices.
In Laos for a dollar one can choose between an ice cold beer, a sandwich with bacon and cheese, 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 cups of brewed coffee, 16 medium-sized bananas, an hour of surfing on the Internet, 3 liters of drinking water, two croissants.
Nicaragua - a bottle of beer.
Belize - fried bananas in the street.
In Manado, Indonesia for a dollar you can get a full lunch - a piece of fried chicken with rice, vegetables, mineral water and fruits.
In Myanmar - a cup of coffee with ice, 4 boxes of cigarettes, doxycycline pills for malaria treatment for 17 days, 4 liters of clean water, 6 cans of soda, a pomelo, an hour of surfing the Internet.
In short, if you are looking where to spend wisely your dollar - there is no better place for this than Bulgaria.
