I am in Madison.* Archived Message Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes on May 10, 2022, 18:48:12, in reply to "It depends. Are you in sub Saharan Africa? Then it's probably fair*" Previous Message Previous Message Per diem is 19 dollars for the whole entire day, since the vendor provides lunch and breakfast.
