NYCPHP Meetup

[Edward Potter]

Well, while staying in India, my daily rent for a GREAT apartment was 
about .50 cents a day (Rishikesh). Assume living in NYC your rent is 
$30 per day. So it's about 1/60 the cost. Thats why the odds are this 
vendor may actually get someone for $20 for this project. And why I'd 
HIGHLY recommend to any up and coming USA based programmer  to learn 
welding. plumbing, or carpentry as a sideline, or at least Java2ME.  
:-)
