I really don't understand this... in Hong Kong the US government pays its employees US$203 per day for a hotel room plus US$126 per day for meals & incidentals?

Does anyone know of any jobs the US government has going? These are absolutely ridiculous rates! We pay about HK$700 (US$90) for hotel rooms for our staff, and a per diem of HK$340 (US$45) for meals etc.

Someone somewhere is being ripped off. I'm glad I don't pay US taxes.
