Little Stories

This weekend, Chanyi and her three close friends spent a wonderful day together in Taipei.

Throughout the day, everyone took turns covering expenses in cash. For example, at the first coffee shop: Chanyi paid TWD 627 for everyone, which covered two cups of coffee at 125 each, two at 160, plus a 10% service charge.

So she logged the first item in their ledger: coffee, amount 627, with a weight split of 125:125:160:160. She knew: 'Even with the 10% service charge, it's fine to use the original prices for splitting.'

From lunch to dinner, they hopped between popular local spots, enjoying bubble tea, cake, grilled sandwiches, ไก่ทอด (fried chicken), and beers (Hudson had two!). Everyone added the items they paid for to the ledger like pros.

It felt like the conversations would never end. Around 10 PM, Saki suggested a round of ramen 🍜 to end the day on a perfect note!

At the end of the night, they checked the ledger:
