How much you got?
The amount of money to spend on holidays is really up to you.
Excluding accommodation (chose a hotel from $20 a night to $1000 a night), I would budget for about $60 a day.
This includes:
- Any day trips you want to take (say, guided bus trips)
- Taxi fares (you don't want to waste your precious holiday time using public transport)
- Eating in decent restaurants (your stomach won't be able to handle the local germs so don't risk it or you'll spend your holiday on the toilet)
- Going out at night and having a few drinks etc.
- Buying souvineers for yourself/family back home
- Maybe you'll meet a new "friend" and want to treat her to dinner/new clothes etc.
$60 will be plenty of money; you'll generally spend less, but sometimes more. As you're on holiday it's better to enjoy your time rather than worry about $10 (remember, you just spent $2000 on airfare, don't worry about $10).
Also, allocate some extra money for any internal flights you want to take.
Enjoy your trip, it's a great place to go.
15 day cost
I Guess it would depend on where you will stay and what your plans are.
I plan to go to Cebu and my wife being from Cebu told me I will need about $100 a day @ current exchange rate of P45/$
that was staying in a 3 star hotel plus paying for personal guide (in-law) basiclly to keep me out of trouble and not to get robed.
A "personal guide"??? Sounds
A "personal guide"??? Sounds like your wife is trying to make some money for her in-law.
You don't need a guide there. You can easily make your own way around or your wife can "guide" you if you really need some hand-holding.
