Yaoundé Noodle Sticker Shock

🍜 The 5,000 XAF Tomato Egg Noodle Review • Price Tag: ~¥50 *(1/10 of local daily wage)* 💸 • Taste: Canteen-grade (the eggs time-traveled straight from the 90s—tough and stubborn) 🥚 • Portion: Artfully arranged to barely cover the bowl base 🎨 🚖 Bonus Feature The taxi driver included: ✓ 2km "Yaoundé sightseeing" (while hotel was in plain sight) 🏨 ✓ 1 crash course in French profanity (upon realizing his mistake) 🗣️ 💡 Africa Price Reality Check Chinese hotels = prices ×2 Hunger = common sense ÷2 Better alternatives: • Street grilled plantains (200F) 🍌 • Baguette sandwich (800F) P.S. Now whenever I hear "five thousand", both my stomach and wallet convulse. 💸 #AfricaMath #NoodleEconomics #YaoundéWakeUpCall #WalletTrauma
