Yeah we are speaking in relative terms here...
e.g. living standards in Europe are far higher than in Asia...e.g. Per capita income of the European countries is yet way higher than Asian...(when I speak of Asia I mean south Asia, not the Arabs or Japs)
@sjennon again I declare that I meant no disrespect...
And you are right that most Europeans tourist are perceived as rich here, for obvious reasons..
