Wow, Aroha 800 yen an hour 10 years ago. So the basic pt wage is the same. Bet exchanges have worsened since then though.
Actually is it just me or is the minimum wage diabolical in this country.? |

I guess soon it will be the turn of the Japanese to head for the Uk.

Depends on whether you're exchanging Yen to Us or Yen to Canadian. Japan has actually gotten cheaper in the past ten years, so the 800 here is more than it was here ten years ago.
For comparison, unexperienced bar staff get 1100 to 1200 yen per hour in Japan. |

Are you kidding? The Japanese yen has devalued about 30% in the past 4 years against the Cdn dollar.
