If Romanians make $150 a week why are hotel rooms that per night?
 

WTF? I want a better deal.

You won't the prices for hotels are all around the world the same, the cheapest hotels in the world are actually in US.

fuck that. I'll rent something then. if I'm staying a month it sounds a lot cheaper

That's the way to go..

Any idea what that costs? lol

because there are 7 of them that manage each room

in Mozambique they live on $30 per month, hotel rooms start from $150 per night

It's a scam to fuck tourists over....

Kard63 I guess you are from the USA?

Ok I will try to give a honest point of view on this subject.

the usa is actually very low cost and so are the salaries paid.

Not everyone in Russia,Romania,Czech etc is on $150 a week in fact you would be surprised how wealthy and how much business takes place in these countries,even india has rooms for $500+ a night and I guess you thought they had nothing there.

Most countries are going from poor to rich on a business level such as china ,of course a lot of people will remain poor.

I was in London England last year with some american friends and they couldnt handle how much everything cost.

Its a sad fact that the usa was once a leading force and it still maybe but as regards spending power when your away from home you are way behind the new global earnings and pricing of goods and services

Just my outlook on things !

Some hotels/countries do give 50%+ discounts to local residents...

Aside from that, hotels are generally for tourists not locals so that's the reason behind the cost.

I'm not very impressed. It looks like the salaries paid in the USA are quit a bit higher and probably would be double if we didn't have a foolish president who lowered the value of the dollar. I'm not sure what you mean by "leading force" but we have the most money and bombs. I don't know anything more influential than money and bombs.....

I'm guessing there are so many poor people in these countries that can't even afford to leave their house (or whatever they live in) so the service industry only exists for the few rich and tourists...

You're not going to find a room to rent for just 1 month, rentals are usually for 3-6 months at least ... You can also find cheaper solutions, but still very good, such as rent by night, with an average of $80-90/night, still a lot for 1 month ...

Is the UN anything to go by?

and I love your quote: we have the most money and bombs. I don't know anything more influential than money and bombs.....

you are the BIGGEST debtor to China(thats not good not good at all!) and yes its your bombs that have made your dollar go down like a sinking ship.

Give me a break only 10 minutes ago on CNN estimated USA jobs increase 70,000 actual jobs 17,000 ,expect the dollar to drop Monday even more :1orglaugh



Disclaimer: I have many american friends and business partners I also own a great timeshare in Florida this is simply a debate on world economy and my thoughts..before I get any of the ..you hate USA comments :winkwink:

Wow, such stupidity, you have no clue how economy works.
Let me enlighten you.

Moscow is the most expensive city in the world, second year in a row. Why?
Russia aint that rich? Ok, lets break it down.

In Moscow you will find large corporations, it will bring prices up.
In Moscow lives all the rich russians, it will bring prices up.
In Moscow lives most forgeiners, of all the russian cities, it will bring prices up.
Moscow is russis biggest tourist attraction, it will bring prices up.

Now, theese are some simple examples, there are a lot more.
But the average salary aint high, just because if you go to some smal city that barely is pointed out on a map, they are poor as fuck. Really poor.
But that doesnt matter, because when you mention salary and everything, its calculated PER CAPITA IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS YOU FUCKING TWAT.

Same thing applies to romania ofcourse.
If you go to some village / smaller city, everything is a lot cheaper.

Yes, good luck finding a fucking hotel in a Romanian village. Let me guess, you're not too bright, are you?

You act like the the dollar is dropping and we can't control it. You know Bush did/does that on purpose right? I know "you people" have to take your shots when you can because we don't give you too many but this wasn't an accident.... it was strategy. A poor strategy form a retard I voted against twice, but it was strategy.

hmm because Romanians LIVE in Romania and dont use the hotels? Just a thought

Kard63

just a quick note and the figures maybe slightly in accurate

USA minimum wage ? about $5.85?

in the UK its about $11 bucks

in france its about $11.50

Ireland about 12 bucks

and I think over $12 bucks in australia although I could be wrong.

Get the idea ?

Yes of course its more expensive to live in many places but thats my point ,the USA is low wage, low prices and when you leave to visit other countries you see a total different global market.

Am I happy ? No the world is getting expensive but Im from europe and understand this situation something that alot of first time travellers from the USA dont and get a big shock :(

hehehhhe you dont give us too many shots huh..your like a sitting duck as a target :1orglaugh.

you and us ? In my life there is no you and us sorry,we are all equal and im as one.


Did bush get in by accident I thought he was re-elected? or did I miss something :1orglaugh

your like a cute little puppy :)

Been to romania twice, in smaller places you can still find.
You just have to ask around.

No, you can't, unless it's a tourist place. Which invalidates your previous argument that you can find cheap HOTELS to stay in, in non-tourist areas. You'll never find a HOTEL in a Romanian VILLAGE, unless it's a tourist area.

You are not very bright, aren't you? In fact each city in ROmania that has more than 50.000 people has at least one hotel. We are a civilized country, you know? Not the shithole you live in...

Egomancer

Kard,

if you want me to help you find a place to stay, just hit me and I will see what I can do...

Egomancer

To keep the locals out.

A Romanian village < A Romanian city of 50,000.

sheesh

I sometimes miss the east meets west debates and all the cold war propaganda even today it still makes for good chat :winkwink:

And you can find a hotel in even smaller places.
It all depends on the location. There are a lot of hotels here and there (smaller hotels) for truckers etc.

Thank you for proving that you truly are an idiot. :)

I believe you are a nice guy deep inside. Your only problem is that your parents born you retarded and abused you during childhood.

Except that, you are fine...

Egomancer

The answer is simple, If they were not $150/night
then romanians would only be getting $50 per week

Yep. But at least I can read. :)

Can you? I don't think so...

Egomancer

They charge $150 because people will pay it. Like Vegas.

But I would like to know why you're staying in cheap rooms.

You dumb fuck, I'm not the one who replied saying there's a hotel in every CITY when the discussion was about VILLAGES. :)

From what I have read I assumed he came to Bucharest which is the capital city of the country. So I was making the comments to his post, not to your retarded replies.

I hope this clears the matter!!!

Egomancer

You quoted me, you dumb fuck. Scroll up.

you can find 69eur hotels in bucharest Accor Hotells wich are not so bad. thats about 100$ i think.


anyways, services in romania are too expensive for the quality you get. but people still buy these services because they have to few alternatives.

Welcome to the ever evolving capitalism (until it's flaws brings it's collapse), where as always the greatest beneficiaries are the wealthy, and the greatest losers are regular people..

Now that the wealth of western countries erodes due to globalism, what people will still have their financial comfort, thanks to investing more & more in developing countries..?

If You have the ability to gain wealth - do it, and USE it... or You're in for an ever increasing poverty instead.
