Not Much Price Difference
Indeed, the cost of living here in Japan is very high. Clothes aren’t that much of a problem, if you only know when and where to buy. I’ve already learned to watch out for end of season sales when clothes are sold from 50-80% off the original price. But when it comes to food, of course, it’s way more expensive here than in the Philippines. Pork is sold at about four times the price in the Philippines. Good thing chicken meat is not as expensive, the reason why I eat chicken more often than pork. Basic commodities are very expensive, but there’s electronic goods here are undeniably way cheaper. If only I have more to spare for something extra, I would have bought lots of those. But, if you’re hoping to find cheaper ipods here, I think it’s almost the same price as in the Philippines. But I suppose they’re cheaper in the US? I have no idea…
