Why would you be interested if it sounds low? It IS low, but for for how many hours? Who cares about the going rate. The question is, do you want to work for that amount, and in that place.

There are places in the world where the reality of less money is compensated by a great environment, social life, etc. For me it would take a very high wage to work in an environment that didn't have such attractions -not to mention a nice climate.
