I'm going to need a bigger wallet! Sometimes I forget how wild the the US dollar - Indian rupee exchange rate is (currently 1 to 39). I changed about $300 and they handed me this wad of cash. I could barely fit it in my pocket. Expenses here are a very mixed bag. Food is relatively cheap - a medium pizza is 200 Rs ($5) and a nice sit-down dinner might be 400 Rs ($10). And you can certainly eat cheaper than that. But a nice cell phone, for example, might run you 16,000 Rs ($400).
