Stretching your money....

Not to keep going on about it or anything, but the exploitation out here is something else!

Read a story on the paper yesterday about a guy from Northern Thailand who works in construction here. He works 11 hours a day, 6 days a week for the princely sum of €14/day. He lives in what can only be described as a shantytown shed in the few hours he has off. The funny thing is that he appears to be as happy as Larry. Although it's crap money for us, he's paid off his 2 story house; bought a tractor, a motorbike and a college education for his sister! I know where I'm retiring to!!!!!

Try paying off a 2 storey house in Ireland now on €14 a day!!
