    Oh well that’s not very regulated. Migrants get squeezed for every penny the have. They can pay up to 4000 dollars (in their local currency and earning level) but they have to dodge corrupt offcials, prostitution, extortion and ofc live threatening conditions.

    34.000 is a lot of money in comparison, but if you go through what they went through you probably don’t want to get back.
