24 kuai is 4 Australian dollars, 3 US.

Today was my first ever experience with having "hired help". My flatmate's got it organised that every Monday they turn up for an hour and make the magic happen. 3 Chinese women rocked up with punctuality and cleaning products that would impress a German. Are Germans clean? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure they're on time. Regardless, the proletarian in me twitched a little.

I'm going to do the math/s just to clear something up.

3 ladies@ 24kuai/hour = 8 kuai each = $1.33AUD per person for an hours work.

Ker-azey.
