Hello David,
My name's Alexandra - I just joined your super site.
I have a question, if you can answer - what should be the starting rate for a singing-pianist at a hotel in, say, Japan? I just heard about a Hyatt gig in a major city in Kyushu, paying $2500 (presumably before taxes). I thought that was APPALLING. I work and live in New York, teaching and performing and have worked on cruise ships, and they paid the same FOUR YEARS AGO PLUS TIPS but basically everything (except extras) is covered, and use of the passenger facilities is also allowable.
Is this really the going rate for an international level hotel in Asia, or am I being ripped off? What should I expect. Many thanks.
