New Blog ?


I may start a new blog called... life with a Japanese Wife.
coming soon

Tales of what weird things they do.....

Today i mentioned the mean income in japan is ~43k $USD and she said omg are you crazy??? and i said uh.. yeah, you don't realize the typical person is poor in almost all countries. You are in the top 5% of living conditions in the nation, and top 2% worldwide. You gotta go visit africa sometime baby.

Anyways she heard some myth that 10% of the Japanese population makes more than $150k, and I said hmm I don't think so. metric I heard/read is that top 3 or 6% make > $75k. Couldn't find demographics.

She was shocked.
