'waitresses in Japan wear their kids in a pouch'
roo pouchThis is not in the least bit true, at least for the past 60 years. If anything, Japanese women take more time off after birth than any developed county on earth.

Sometimes I gotta wonder where people get these zany ideas about Japan?

The waiting game
..few Australians choose to pursue the restaurant waiting game as a career. But professionals do exist

...Lela Radojkovic, manager, Restaurant Balzac...
"The burn-out rate is very high... if you're a woman, you usually quit to have babies. You can't bring your freakin' kids to the restaurant. I love what I do but I also obviously want to have kids one day - what then? I hear that some waitresses in Japan wear their kids in a pouch for the first six months, so maybe that's the go."
