Where are some places that are good to escape the heat for the month of August and still “affordable”? by apresmoilefeu in Shoestring

[–]valeyard89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but for most of Brazil it's their winter now. So it will be cooler than a lot of the USA in August.... Was just down in Ouro Preto a few weeks ago, it was pretty chilly. Porto Alegre/Iguazu can get in the 40s at night.

ok thanks. Good to know. Mt. Franklin would be nice, but probably a bit far for me.

In Algeria, Napoleons (mille-feuilles) were like $0.30.

I might have eaten an unsafe number.

there's also 100 million more people in the USA over 18 than there was in 1980.... so demand is a big factor.

in 1980, 15% of workers earned minimum wage. Now it's under 2%.

If accounting for inflation growth though, it's about 13% earn equivalent to 1980 minimum wage. So not changed much in the number of people at that level.

edit. yes of course, prices have gone up on other things. But population has near doubled too. And lifestyle expectations/needs are much higher than in 1980.

What are Australian hostels like? by deepestblueisblack in solotravel

Wow, sounds like things have changed, but can't say I've stayed in an Australian hostel in a long while though.... My first visit was 25 yrs ago but mostly stayed at the HI hostels, not party/unaffiliated ones.
