budget in the Alps

I don't think you're trying to undermine me. I just think that our standards are a bit different and after traveling a bit myself I basically know how much and what kind of food I can get by with. but thanx for the prices you gave me here, it's actually very helpful.
btw, most of the hostels I found have breakfast included so that's good news for me.

Let me explain it to you. Your $20 = 15CHF roughly. Ten people tell you that 15CHF a day is not enough to eat unless you are planning to go on a starvation diet.

Now you came on here saying you weren't sure about the food part of your budget and you've been told repeatedly it isn't enough but now instead of saying thanks, I'll up my food budget, you seem to be arguing that it is enough. If you think it is enough, why did you ask about it in the first place?

Are you going on this trip to enjoy it or to survive it?

first of all I did up my food budget to 25 CHF, I just put it in my final 1900CHF budget.
secondly if you tell me it's not enough it doesn't tell me much, that's why asked if it's possible to be a little more specific so I know why it's not enough.

I'm going to enjoy it and if I go over my budget for good reason that's fine with me. but like I said in my previous post, people have different standards. for some sleeping on a dorm bed with shared bath is survival for me is absolutely fine, I actually like it. for you eating cheap supermarket food twice a day is survival, for me it's a very small sacrifice I'm willing to make to keep the budget low or spend the money on other things.

I don't want to be rude, I didn't ask what am I supposed to eat, I just asked how much will it cost. evscha gave me good information on that in his last post.

Actually, in "her" last post, but who's to know?

sorry

Actually, in "her" last post, but who's to know?

Bet I'd know ;)

That's why I always try to use s/he when referring to a poster.

To avoid confusion evscha, a picture of you in a bikini beside your name would solve the problem. ;)

If you click on pirates photo, the long hair might be ambiguous re sex but the beard pretty much rules out most women. If you click on my photo, the flat chest might be ambiguous but that's obviously the lower half of a handsome man's face you can see. (I cropped it that way to keep from being recognized. I really dislike groupies, it's so embarassing having them follow you around.)

I know I need to add a picture...:-) thanks for reminding me!
