Yeah, anytime anywhere near a major government/diplomat area, the prices for everything go through the roof. Example: One block from the Beau Rivage hotel in Geneve, Switzerland, there's a store which sells Yves St. Laurent sneakers for $700. My son's sneakers, which are nearly identical, were about $30 at Academy Sports in Dallas. Oh, and, the Beau Rivage prices start at about $500 for a "simple" room without free breakfast, and go up to about $5,000 (breakfast included).
My thought is that a lot more international work would get done more quickly if representatives had to stay at the local equivalent of the Motel 6 or Comfort Inn. Can y'all say "expense account"?
