5 years ago the asian micros OP is talking about were 160/45, 200/hr, they moved up 20 bucks approx 2 yrs ago due to the increased advertising on Leo... I do recall this discussed on here. Now another increase to 200/45, 240/hr. I suppose it makes sense as besides gas practically everything else has gone up in price this year!!In lame terms increase is due to business costs of expenses such as advertising on leo. Which is reasonable. I moved here about 5 yrs ago and rates were relative the same. I was expecting a raise in costs due to leo being so expensesive. Only thing I don't understand in Vancouver area Asian mircos is the 45min and 60min jump of 40. It's just a little weird to me. That was the most recent jump in price the time I spent in Vancouver that I can recall.
Other micros like K604, LFL, Daynight have all moved there prices up over the last couple years as well.
I guess we either have to find more cash or just poon less ..
