OK, so after receiving a call from me bro earlier this evening, i figured to run some numbers to figure this shit out in EUROS:
Clint put in 612, Dan's in for 377 and I put 258. Now (for the moment) let's assume Fletch doesn't put in anything for lodging. That means, for Clint, Dan, SeJin and meself, we'd split:
[(612/4) + ((377+258)/5)] = 280 per dude
Fletch would throw in (377+258)/5 = 127
Now, some have already paid so:
Clint gets 612-280 = 332 back
Dan gets 377-280 = 97 back
I add 280-258 = 22 to the pot
And Sejin is out the exact 280
Just to check, Clint's 332 + Dan's 97 = 429
and my 22 + Sejin's 280 + Fletch's 127 = 429
So I think that's right. Since Fletch has offered something for sleeping, I figure he can buy a few rounds or somesuch.
And as far as awesome dollars and cents go there is also the question of how much the whole shebang is gonna run over what's already been poured out the coffers. To preemptively stem the flow, we can leave Antwerp out (shit) but let me run this by you:
Amsterdam to Cologne: 109 Euro vs.
Amsterdam to Antwerp: 65 + Antwerp to Cologne 70 = 135 Euro
And another of me coworker's said she has a friend that has a house in Antwerp that likes to party and could put us up (but she's also got a kid so...........)
Anyway, I'll find out how serious that is...
But anyway, that's like another 100+ Euro
Food: Dunno, I'll say 25 Euros a day (generous, if we eat donners the whole time, right?)
and then there's the question of beer. I guess a cheap beer from the store could be like 1.5 Euro but fancy in the city tourist places are more likely like 5 maybe. so I'll use 3.25 Euro per to guess cause we'll be all over. Just to be on the safe side, I don't think i could drink more than 15 beers per day so we'll use that as a top. 15 x 3.25 = round up to 50
food 25 + drink 50 = 75 x 5 days (i'll count Saturday and Thursday as half days) = 375 and i think this may include incidentals, trinkets, and whatnot.
SOOOOOO, the total is like:
280 + 110 + 375 = 765 Euro trip.
maybe i'm low, maybe i'm high - anybody want to dispute my facts? how much beer can you drink? Dan, you've been to Deutschland recently, are my beer prices off? Do you want to eat better? Anyway, there you have it. Shit, I gotta sleep.
peace out.
