Malaysia and Singapore Budget and Tips

Malaysia and Singapore Budget and Tips

Describing our combined budget for Malaysia and Singapore is a little bit like trying to average your restaurant bills for a hamburger joint and a steakhouse. The average costs for each place are just so different that lumping them together doesn’t give you an accurate picture of what it costs to visit each place on its own. Yet for us, given how we used Malaysia as a jumping off point for Singapore, there is just no easy way to separate the two, so here you have it: our combined Malaysia/Singapore budget. But any way you slice it, we did a fantastic job traveling cheaply while we were in these two countries. We spent a total of $1,777 during our 16-night stay in Malaysia and Singapore. This equates to $778 a week and well under our $1,000 goal. read more

Le Foodist: French Cooking Classes in Paris That Aren’t Intimidating

I arrive at Le Foodist, located near the Sorbonne University, notebook in hand and ready to observe a day of traditional French cooking. But as soon as I get through the door, Founder and chef Fred Pouillot tells me, “You can put your bag over there, and put on this apron.”

What? I’m cooking? “Of course, you’re cooking!” I look down at my clean white shirt and attempts at looking professional, shrug and tie said apron around my waist. I’m ready to go. read more
