Chinese food is cheaper than food at home. Besides, long distance calls cost a lot and Accomodation was a two-people room so rather cheap. Nightlife accounted for a lot of my expenses, but not really more than at home. Lastly, there were more interesting opportunities to travel than usually at home.
Food, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife, Overall: was the same price as at home.

Well since you are exploring, you go out more and travel around more. So you spend more... Nightlife and accommodation are of the most expensive in the world. Food can be pretty cheap unless you go to restaurants too often.

No real surprises. Bad=accommodation Good=local food

I spent more than at home simply because I was enjoying an experience. At home, I choose cheaper bars and don't really travel all that often. I had never spent time in Asia and didn't mind paying more to see it.
