Well theres a cost of living pay difference to take into account but yeah, things are generally cheaper. Isnt minimum wage approaching 10 dollars an hour in your area?

its 10:25 now I think. which is still one of the lowest in thee country and is the most expensive places in the world to live. but yeah the minimum wage down yhere is terrible! isnt it likw $5 in new york?

that's insanr!

It's 7.25 here. Rent is getting higher everywhere too.

$5 in NY would be ridiculous

yeesh! 7.25 is not high enough to make a decent living

what were you looking at to purchase in the states?

I was shopping there on the weekebd. food is a lot cheaper. and clothes.

Seattle?

yeah

Seems like it would be an awesome city. Have you been to the Space Needle?

no I have not! but I think I am going to check it out in a couple of weeks

Are you in Seattle often?

no actually last weekend was the first time. its a prerty city but it looks like vancouver withough tue big mountaibs

ohh i wonder if i should be a fisherman or something so I can live in that area

it would definitely be the right place to work as a fisherman! One of Seattle's famous landmarks is it's fish market

I'd love to move back to that area because I kind of felt more at home in BC then I do here even though I've spent most of my life around here. Seattle probably pretty similar to BC climate and scenery wise

but how are the people? I just would need to find out what the in demand jobs are and yeah the fisherman thing would be up there. But I don't know what all they have to do really. Wonder if you'd just have to

get an apprenticeship or something. it seems like it would be a trade like a carpenter or a plumber

I was listening to a podcast and the one giy on it said that he gor a job on a fishing vessel. he would help catch the fish but most of the work was gutting the fish and sorting them. he said afyer a while he

could tell what knd of fish he wad looking at just by looking at the meat

eww gutting fish over and over. i think I would start to hallucinate or have nightmares about the poor fish begging for their lives

hahaha yeah I think I would do too. I had an emotional break down when we vrought our chickens in to get butchered. It was tough!

Well its just part of life. Lots of disturbing things about life if you think about it.
