One day I was driving in the largest city in my country,  I passed the streets and malls. I was driving my lil nephew around the cities, he needed some Chokocho ice cream and I bought for him with an amount that is equivalent to 60 cents and we continue the journey until we met a certain residential area in an estate. My nephew needed such ice cream again and it was tagged as amount equivalent to $4 and people were happily buying.  But I refused to buy, instead I drove back to the former store where I bought for 60 cents.  That was the day I knew the difference in environment.
Op, you simply visited a very wealthy place where people's problems are no longer food, shelter and clothing.
