Bread and water...

...is going to be my diet for the next couple of weeks. Voluntary or not, you can judge for yourself.

It's just a combination of components:

• moving out and having to pay all remaining rent
• moving in and paying the bond
• having to have the place cleaned and spending some on that too
• flying out to the east coast and adding a weekend in Melbourne
• coming up with some extra payment (insurance, phone line transfer etc)
• booking flights to Myanmar (even though they were quite affordable, this is the culprit for the whole mess)
• having a couple of payments a couple of days before I actually get paid and so on...

Broke because of travel? No problem for me.
Broke because of all of it happening at the same time. Not as fun.

Especially because I'll be pretty busy until August and will be able to save some money, which won't matter because it won't be possible to go anywhere.

But, as I said, being broke because of travel is a good kind of a bad thing.
Being broke during the actual travelling will be a bit of an issue.

It'll give it a certain edge. Yes, let's go with that...

So, bread and water (or maybe even tea), here I come!

Just to make all of us drool, here's a photo of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar
