The Salary of a Cleaner in Japan

[Alphanumeric]

^ I dunno dude, I've been painted a contrasting picture.

As I said, there's always several sides to a story. Or something of that nature.

the japanese complain about 6% unemployment and stagflation in the economy..
the US would be over the moon for joy, if they had 6% unemployment only..

for the japanese it is a disastor, they were used to lifetime employment and near zero unemployment..

and whats this talk about Japan being expensive..

You can find a decent apartment to rent for something similiar to the rent in Brooklyn for example, in allot of Tokyo.

If you want to bling out, and spend $10,000 a day you can, they cater to the luxury seekers well, and Tokyo is a world fashion capital after Paris, Milan,London and NY
but if you want to spend as less as possible like me, you can do very well..

I stayed for 10 days in Tokyo and spent less than $30 on my accommodation and less than half that on food,
and i spent shitloads of money on useless gadgets, clothes and the nightlife..


People forget that Japan has been under close to 0 interest rates since 1990 and the inflation has been less than 2%..
meaning that the prices you get today in Japan as close to the prices in 1990...

Go and Visit, i recomend it..
It wont break your budget and it is muc more interesting than Europe.

I have no reason not to believe what you're saying. I agree with you, in that Japan is in an economic state many other countries would literally and have killed for. All I said was there's always another side to the story. And yes, I do hope to visit. But again, I've heard otherwise to your claims. Cheers though.

Gurey When u say u spent less than 30 dollars on accommodation,what do u mean? That hotels are that cheap or u didnt need to pay for it at all.

the price has gone up since 2008 but at 3200yen that still quite reasonable $41.

Loved the place, staff were more like friends than staff, we are still in touch

^^^ Sounds decent price for a major city.Saw a very good travel deal not too long ago,almost jumped it but it was after the nuclear fears.

gurey why is that Islam has not been popular in Japan although it is slowly increasing, but not at the rate of the Chinese and the West, whats goin on man?

[gurey25]

China?? i dont think it is spreading that fast in china..
but Japan has a small and growing population, it was first brought by turks and iranians in the 50's
the japanese are not a religious people..

Teaching, Medical fields from doctors to nurses to medical technicians.

Geologists,Petroleuem Engineers, chemical engineers, Metallurgical engineers...

Can you expand on that? Is it English teachers or in general?

Another problem is that they can be sexist mofos, specifying that they want a male especially in the science sector

Gurey bro how is life in Japan? Is is better than the west? and is the Somali/Muslim community there recognizable? I usually thought places like Japan had very little non-Asian immigrants.

And they're not called cleaners or bin men, but health engineers.
