What Can You Get for 2,565 Yen?
(That's approximately US$22.34)
At the department store you could get...
One pack of 36 diapers (980yen), two boxes of 10 tampons each (294yen each) and a can opener (997yen). The cashier even wrapped my tampons in colored paper before placing it into the see-through bag!
What Can You Get for 1,388 Yen?
(That's approximately US$12.09)
Well, at the grocery store you could get...
Four VERY small cans of green peas, three smaller than "US normal" cans of corn, a can of apples, a can of white grapes, a can of vienna sausages, a can of red beans, and a box of one melon pudding mix!
Tokyo is supposed to be one of the most expensive places in the world to live. And, while prices of things may be a little higher than at home, I haven't found it to be completely overwhelming. I think I was expecting worse. *shrug*
