A long requested, though sadly not terribly exciting topic: Cost of Living in Tokyo. I go through my monthly bills and hopefully give an idea of what one can expect to pay. Some interesting links...

...Anyways, the country i come from, most prices (except sum basic consumer basket) are kinda the same as in Milan, but the wages are times lower...

....I live in Milan now, and it's terribly expensive, wouldn't say prices are lower than the ones mentioned above,maybe since there's this obvious corruption here,everything is "natural"(if u know what i mean) region-controlled duopoly-oligopoly competing a la cournot:)..my friend here went to Dublin for exchange, she said, for example prices on clothes are lower koz there's 2 main firms competing on prices)...

I don't know how stay in perspective with all these excessive costs and charges I would drive into bed cringe and be sick with worry myself but I admire bravery your for facing these charges and all these charges on a daily basis myself I couldn't because its costly enough in the UK as it is if these charges came to the UK their would be a full riot on our hands and also try to overturn the government and the house of lords I think lol
