[Cidrz] [ict4dclass] finalizing outstanding deliverables

Wed May 14 13:57:59 EDT 2008

if you mean villa as in a personal mosquito net, yes :)

daily meals range from 1 dollar for local digs to 10 dollars for expat
restaurants, the intercon hotel's meals range from 15-25 dollars.  Lusaka's
prices are probably on par with some parts of boston in terms of travel
expenses.  cab fares to get around, we incurred on a daily basis across town
(about a 7 minute drive) ranged from 8-12 dollars a day round trip.  though
riding the bus is an adventure one should try for about a dollar.
