now my obvious question is: where do I find the data on global hooker prices?
i'm reasonably bullish my currency (BRL). but this would be a nice cross-check on that view...
cheers
My work involves travelling Ukraine, and hookers there are quite pricey even relative to the same Ukrainian hookers in London.
But a large part of the cost is the bribes/police protection costs due to their illegality. The hookers themselves get very little. So it is limited supply vs. fairly hefty demand.
(despite being anonymous, I still have to add that I did not use the hookers, but was approached by quite a few during my business trips)
You do detail the problem with the index - which is that the price has something to do with social attitudes...
But the Poland being cheap is also a cliche - it is why the low-wage person who cleans your hotel in London is likely to be Polish.
OK its better than Latvia but thats not much of a prediction.
Problem is that the forex lending leads to your customers being massively under water on their houses with no tested legal process for foreclosure.
All said - hookers in China are still likely the cheapest ($20) and thus that proves China is still a smart place to put money over the long run.
the currant price of a J.I.B. graded electrician is £13.50 per hour. The price of a graded (self employed) electrician is £14-15 p/h. plus traveling time. For more detailed information call the J.I.B h/q on 0207-302-0031
