In Europe? well, that's most of a donor kebab in Berlin, so not terrible ;)
In Cambodia... I could easily feed myself on $1.90 a day, if I wasn't white and getting barang (foreigner) prices.
- ianleeclark 7y agoNo, you get local prices adjusted to 1.90$ As much as I love Döner, half of one isn't nutritionally complete.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoAs I understand it, the poverty line is $1.90 in USD. Not in local currency, and not adjusted for local prices. Which is why it sounds like anyone living in poverty should starve to death within a week, but they actually don't (because $.190 isn't comfortable in Cambodia, for sure, but if you get local prices you won't starve to death in a week). OK, half a kebab and a few beers. Many's the time I've woken up to empty beeer bottles and a half-eaten kebab and I haven't starved to death ;)
