在香港買東西比在大陸買困難: 在大陸就把價錢除五， 但是在香港就要除七 （除五點都比除七容易）. so when i shop, I have to mentally divide the price by 5 or 7 to get a "Canadian equivalent". generally speaking, things in Hong Kong are pretty cheap right now mostly because the prices are divided by 7 (strictly speaking, should be 6.7 but if i have to be that concise, I will have to bring a calculator with me wherever I go). 基本上買東西都不會肉痛.
但是收人工就比較心痛. I am cheap labour in this Hong Kong market, making a meager $800HKD per a 5-days week which is honestly less than what I make at Gourmet. So let's do the math...
$800HKD per week / 5 days a week = $160HKD/day
$160HKD per day / 8 hours a day (1 hour break inclusive) = $20HKD an hour
$20HKD / ~$7HKD/$1CDN = < $3 CDN
wow. I am making less than BC minimum wage. in fact, I am making less than when I delivered the Tri-cities News 2 times a week during grade 10 (I made around $10 a week then and it takes me around 1 hour to deliver the papers once).
man remind me again why I am doing this.
