Will Work For Beer.
on: April 13, 2008, 06:45:43 PM
Was talking about beer prices the other day -

Coincidentally, I came across an interesting article in the Mar/April ed. of The American :

Country               Minutes of Work per Bottle of Beer

INDIA                                 369
COLOMBIA                         72
SOUTH AFRICA                   65
ROMANIA                           34
POLAND                             28
HUNGARY                           26
CHINA                                25
SLOVAKIA                          16
CZECH REPUBLIC              12
UNITED STATES                 10
ITALY                                 9

Quite interesting, if you ask me.

If you translate those minutes into minutes on the PS site.... What does that say about Pianistimo?  She's earned a lot of beer being on here, hasn't she?

Makes me think of Vietnamese workers of a Nike-factury on strike for a raise of 8 euros (12 dollars) on their monthly salary... 
I like having a beer while reading a newspaper...  Blondes...

The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence.
