Food cost in Chiang Mai

Between the Organic Market and some thrifty shopping at the grocery story I think it's possible to eat well here for about $30 to $40 per week. Some would argue $20 to $30. I will not disagree. This is one of the appealing aspects to life is Chiang Mai, You can live well and eat well on a pittance. As long as you don't mind the smell and the poverty.

I think the appeal for some is that they get to look down upon others, some misfortune, that make their lives more appealing. If it takes a contrast of other suffering to make your life appealing then I refer to you as a piece of shit. A piece of human waste floating down a canal filled with human excrement.

If you are the kind of person to find personal relief in the suffering of others then you are living a life of suffering denied but I digress.

I tried the fresh squeezed OJ today. Those tasty oranges make fantastic juice. How could they not.

I went to the market after two hours sleep. I felt so tired I was almost sick and ready to puke. I was at the market at 7:00am. I spent maybe 300 baht. I am learning how to get more and spend less, it's all part of the learning curve. 

After returning from the market I downed the bottle of fresh squeeze then went back to bed where I slept until 1:00pm.

Good sleep.

Sad to see no duck eggs this morning :-(
