But just the sheer difference between these, for $5 in Germany to $100. The thing is, for anybody who has traveled, you typically do not go to an airport and expect best prices. It would be interesting what would happen if you went to a pharmacy in Germany and see whether you would be paying more or less. But the bottom line is an American could be in Munich and could buy that, the same package that when they left the U.S. it would cost them $100; if they needed a refill, they would be paying $5 in Germany.
