I just checked the conversion, and it's really about 2.21. Feel better?
Edit: I don't mean to be rude if you didn't realize where I live. If you did and still think I should be ashamed, then I would suggest you understand the situation in China better before you get judgmental.

My apologies. So funny, because after I shut off the computer last night, it hit me! HE must live in a foreign country!! I should have known better. My brother in law had maids in Bolivia and Malaysia and Africa and they worked for almost nothing. He would bring back (from Canada) candy and clothes for her kids and cosmetics for her.
