A tough dilemma! Let us not lose sight of the fact that the post which
triggered this debate (I guess) was one from an Indian complaining about
the prices of our guides. If you trawl the net you will see that a
"typical" $300 per day cost (the mid-point of the range Janine quoted) is
probably between a week's and a month's average wage in India! Whereas for
us it is much closer to an average daily wage. (Yes - I know you can prove
anything with statistics!)
