Open Attachment AGREEMENT-L+R.rtf

I include here all expenses I can think off so that you can plan ahead.

I think it is a very good idea to bring your camera too.
If you want, I could buy for you the tapes here, I get a special
price-due to buying a lot at one moment, for your film and Tach's film.

The Taxi to the airport is about 40 dollar, if it is JFK or La Guardia
airport.(back would be payed by tachs organization.)
For the editing - I will need a Harddrive for 480 Dollar (which could
be paid after I am back, as I need it only than).
Please see my renewed draft agreement attached below ( only change in
red=I included the costs for the tapes and the Harddrive)

The tapes for our film would cost without a receipt 90,- to 130,- (I
would buy them at Chinatown)
or "with a receipt" from a store would cost about $209, 70.

I will try my best to find these next 2-3 day's a person to rent my
room and take care about my feret, so that we can leave as early as
possible.
I like the idea that you come to Vietnam.

Greetings, rebecca
