1 Large pizza (really huge 2x Razer Goliathus mouse pad size) = 10euros (lol i know xD)
1 liter of vodka well you can get it for 10.
1 sixpack of bear, around 8 euros

8 movies tickets
10 bowls of Pho(best noodle in the world)
2 months of internet fee(4~8MB ADSL)
15 packs Marlboro

No idea about minimum wage, I heard that its about $80 a month, but I could be wrong.

In China
$20=130RMB. It varies very much in China depending on where you live.
in Shanghai
2~4 movies tickets
around 50 cans(330ml) of beer

This a relatively common economic statistic, called "purchasing power parity". There's a pretty good map on wikipedia which shows the global differences in this around the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity

Netherlands:

0,8 - 3 movie tickets, depending on cinema and student status :p
4 pints of guinness, 10 in supermarket
2L beer (33cc) or 10L in supermarket (cheap kind)
10 bottles of wine (supermarket, enamel-cleaning), 1 in a restaurant (survivable), 3 retail (which are drinkable)
1-3 pizzas, depending on place of purchase (local turk or restaurant)
the internet bill for a month
I think 30 breads of the cheapest kind, 8 regular

Edit: Some things make me wonder, 1 hour motel for 20, so a night would be 200?

I'm pretty sure we're overlooking the fact that a six pack of beer costs 20 dollars in Norway. That's just criminal.

My bad, $20 is actually 3 hours.
Its very popular in Vietnam that couples pay for 1 hour of motel do the bang then out.
3 stars hotel in Vietnam is about 75$ a day or so.
For $200, You can stay at Sofitel or Hilton

Would have to be a pretty shitty dinner if it was in my area. The cheapest theater around here that actually has new movies as soon as they come out is about $7 per ticket. $6 left for dinner might be able to score you some goodies from the dollar menu at mcdonalds though :D

I would just like to explain the typical cinema menu in the USA

Ticket - 10$ Per (At night)
Largest Popcorn - 7-8$
Large Coke - 7$
Nachos - 7$
Regular Hotdog - 5$
Candy - 4$ a pack.

God damn highway robbery.

USD > CAD almost the same.

-won't even buy me one sushi supper at kanda on weekends.
would have around $2 left if it was lunch instead of supper.

-exactly one buffet meal on weekend nights.
again, if it was lunch, would be cheaper.

(how do you get a decent date night out with $20?)

-half a month's internet bill (Bell Canada)

-two and 1/2 mcdonald/burgerking trios

-1.3% of one semester's tuition fees.

-0.003% of my parent's annual income

-0.6% of my part time job's annual income

--------------------------------

interesting thread. nice to see how much $20 is worth in other countries

20 bucks for two movie tickets and dinner? WHAT?

where i live, tickets are $10 each for relatively new movies during primtime (friday/saturday night). and a decent dinner is 12 dollars each person.

there's shops that sell just this.
and that mod your system.

if you're too lazy, don't know how, or don't have the means to download the game and burn it,

you can buy them for around $5-10 each where i live.
