ShrodingersCat SG my top priority is cleanliness and safety. I paid once for a so-called 'better' backpacker's lodge in Sydney and bloody hell the bed is full of BED LICE. Doesn't need to be fancy - but MUST be clean. So since flushing toilet fits into clean category - I guess good toilets are a must. Once I went chiangmai.. the toilet was outdoors type in kampong.. its not DIRTY in the 'dirt' sense of the word but close to nature lah. and well.. good thing I found out much later, the cement 'square' container thing we use to store the tap water to bath.. right at the bottom is full of earth worms.

I don't think kids are that expensive unless you make them out to be ...

ShrodingersCat SG The cost of kids is on ur lifestyle more than simply financially. Lots of couples with little earning power can still afford happy kids. But it really depends on whether u can compromise ur lifestyle decisions or not.
