Man if someone here wants a big mac they are going to spend a considerable portion of their monthly salary. The whole meal is like 20 kuai, some people here make as little as 600 a month.

"The UK pound hit $2.00 the other day. A practical example: McDonald's has a "value menu" ... if it is $1.00 here, it is £1 there (or double our price). It doesn't feel twice as expensive to a Brit, so right now, their money would buy a lot more here than in Britain (and, in fact, more Brits are visiting the U.S. than usual). For Americans, the UK is quite expensive now (believe me, I know)."
The McDonald's meal is so expense because the Yuan is so damn cheap. That was the point.
