I am sorry I am misunderstood what you were saying. My apologies.
You jumped on the bartender thing, but its one small piece of life out there. Everything is much cheaper, and the economy and lifestyle is such that evening earning less is 'earning more'. In fact alcohol in public is actually relatively expensive out there, to discourage overdrinking. I have very extensive knowlege of both countries, and I know where I am better off.
