Dollars, Kwacha and Eggs

I was talking with some friends about how much things cost. I would ask them how much something costs in Zambia and then they’d ask how much something costs in Canada. The bottom line is that in absolute value, most things cost more in Zambia and wages are lower.



I took the example of a Canadian accountant vs. a Zambian accountant buying eggs and gasoline



A Canadian doing the exact same job as a Zambian can buy a lot more of the same stuff than the Zambian. That sucks! Pretty unfair I think. People get paid less and stuff is more expensive!
