After having traveled the world, hearing "only $5" reminds me of how how far that goes in some places. Right now I have a friend in Nepal renting a 2 bedroom house for $58/month. I have another friend in Nepal that's earns less than $100/month, and is able to afford they're own place to live alone.
So, you'd get 1/11 of a renting a house in Nepal, so?
A single Starbucks coffee in the US is more than $5.
