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...

  • fucking white honkey complaining abt cost of living in another country go cry in ur country fucking scumbags niggers and whites from america always crying

  • Cool, but its 80 yen to 1$ now with a Starbucks coffee costing 380 in Family Mart...

  • Cost of living isn't too far off from San Francisco. I heard 池袋 is fairly affordable, although it's not the safest neighborhood.

  • LOL thank goodness there is a lot of deathtrap rat holes for us :)

  • @RafaelAngel1910 I can imagine that, even denmark is alright compared to norway...

  • did he say 4000 daaaaaaaamn

  • $12 for a decent burger is not expensive...(coming from Canada). I usually have to pay $15 in this country just to get an edible burger.

  • @akagodofheaven less than sweden.

  • Wow....And I thought living in San Francisco is expensive. You can get a 1 Bedroom apartment (not an illegal in-law in the Sunset/Richmond District btw) in Frisco for around $2K. Of course, I own my own home so renting is moot for me *knock on wood.*
