Before you travel, knowing the local price of a bottle of water tells you a lot about the cost of living: how far your money goes, whether tap water is drinkable, and what a "cheap" meal actually costs. It is the fastest comparison basket for living expenses around the world - a universal product with a different price almost everywhere.
And when you arrive, the hardest part is often the last 500 metres: finding your hotel, guesthouse or restaurant inside narrow old-town streets. That is what imhere does - photo-by-photo walking directions for alleys, mazes and old towns, no GPS needed.
