...pretty arbitrary in China. I mean, it really may not be proportional to the quality of the goods or level of services at all. Today I went to 夫子廟 with a friend, we had dinner there in a restaurant who apparently targets tourists. We paid RMB 80 each for some Dim Sum which tasted like shit. The night before I went to a local restaurant which had a special theme of ancient China. The food and services there are great, and we only paid RMB 25 each.
After dinner we took a stroll nearby and found a 2-RMB-shop that sells almost anything from knifes, hair accessories, to toys. And everything there is 2 RMB, which is equivalent to a quarter. I bought a lot of things there, and it felt like costing me nothing. While a comb there cost 2 RMB, another store right next to it sells combs for 80 RMB and above.
While this kinds of price differences can be found anywhere in the world, only in China it's to a certain degree that I almost lost the sense of price expectations.
