18 year old Japanese girl Aiko Chan working what they call "hakken" or partime job.

Basically it is way young people can make good money ... $30.00 for 2 hours to unload these trucks. The worst was unloading boxes of chop sticks .... I know ... I helped out a few times just for the fun of it :)

Other days consisted of 8 hours of sorting ,staking and relabeling mislabeled crap from china ... final destination ... the "One Dollar" shops throughout Japan ....

Korean owned company so it was actually fun to some degree because they were a lot looser and did away with much of the Japanese formalities .. in fact the bosses would jump in and help once in awhile and help out ..... or come by and watch how we did things .. I would change up the system to see how efficient we could do things .. it was one of the most boring jobs so you had to do something to entertain yourself and others .....

This was taken in 2009 ... she is still working there ,but now as a full-time worker and is now 24

One of the hardest working people I have ever met ....
