Things worth missing

Now with under a week to go you start to wonder about all the things you will be missing when you get back. Here are some things listed in non-particular order:

Barbershops
1e for a haircut and 30c for a manual shave. Even though the quality of the services might vary, at least the shavings are consistent and the quality is around the mach-3 area. But when you can get 7 shaves for the price of a single razor blade you can't really complain. Especially since the feeling of someone else doing it for you is just awesome.

Food
It might be the thing here. Insanely good food at insanely cheap price. Just the cost of the main ingredient is often more expensive in Finland than the finished dish here. And also to be noted is the awesomeness of the ubiquitous vegetarian meals. I would have no problems whatsoever being a vegetarian here.

Weather
Have to admit it, 30+ degrees centigrade during the day and 20+ degrees by night really feels nice. Could definitely get used to this. Also it might be worth mentioning that I have succeeded on making this trip without any sunscreen or sunburns for that matter. Guess you can substitute use of sun-protection with sensible tanning.

Prices
One can truly feel like a millionaire here. Everything is really cheap by western standards. Sometimes while haggling on the market you present the salesperson with a seemingly ridiculously low price and after a while finding yourself buying it for the same sum. And they are making profit with that! Incredible. But I guess it is a clue that most commonly used note in the euro area (20e) is worth more than the most valuable note here (1000Rs). And don't even think about paying anything except 4 digit numbers with those, people just don't have that much change on them. And some are even reluctant to take those as they are only good for really big purchases.
