Kigali a is relatively expensive place. A trips into town and back from my place is 7 quid. There goes my per diem. Not expensive by London of course, but I think I need to get a car. There are much cheaper moto-taxis (motorbikes) but my place is too far out to get many passing, and you can't call them.
Food is not that cheap either. At my local mini-market - some fruit, 1 ltr of juice, 1 ltr water, a box of cereal and 4 small yoghurts comes to 11500 Rwandan Francs, or 11 quid.
At restaurants, of which there are a few good ones, a good pizza will cost a fiver, about the same for a good steak it seems. Not so bad really compared to the mini-market. Just that you need a taxi to get to them! Oh for the auto-rickshaws of Chennai, come back, all is forgiven!
I still haven't sussed out the price for Gillete Mach 3 four-pack (razers), which, so far , I've found to be an identical price in pounds in every country I've visited. Will keep you posted.
