Joseph is vacationing in China for two weeks or so. The hotel prices have shocked him.

Joseph: Dammit, I just paid 20 bucks for 2 cans of Diet Coke!
Me: Really?!
Joseph: And 370 dollars for lunch!! Do NOT eat at your hotel here.
Me: Man, I had one of those “YOU WIN A FREE 20OZ BOTTLE OF COKE” bottlecaps I could’ve sent you.
Joseph: It’s screwed. I can buy a clone Palm V for 25$, or get two cans of Diet Coke. WTF?
