Much love and respect to Tokyo, Japan, and Asians in general from Syria.
If prices are really jacked in Tokyo, why not just rent an apartment like 30 mins away? Pay less and have more room than a typical person staying in Tokyo?
If this is true, please comment some cities that I can stay at for cheap but relatively spacious. Fully furnished is also on my list, because I'm studying abroad for a year.
Thank you
Abe raised consumption tax from 5% to 10% during his administration, extremely burdening all Japanese for an additional 100% tax unlike never seen before.
Abe destroyed tourism market by raising not only the consumption tax by 10% from 5% but also start collecting fee for withdrawing money from ATM machine for all tourists unlike never seen before, added an additional tourism tax on hotel room unlike never seen before, added a burdensome departure tax for all tourists unlike never seen before, etc.
Abe also supported genocide criminal unlike never seen before by generously supporting the genocide criminal Myanmar unlike other countries.
Though Abe already resigned, he should pay back for the power abuse which badly harmed the interest of all Japanese as well as for being the greatest supporter of the genocide criminal Myanmar so Abe should spend the rest of his remaining days in prison to redeem his unforgivable sin before being roasted alive forever in hell.
The cost of food is relatively cheap. If you only cook for yourself, you spend about 30,000 or 40,000 yen per month.
Thanks for your responses.
Who the heck eats this much fruit in a month?
Apples (1kg) 845.00 ¥ x 34.72 = 29,338.40 ¥
Banana (1kg) 377.14 ¥ x 28.9333333 = 10,912.00 ¥
Oranges (1kg) 636.36 ¥ x 34.72 = 22,094.55 ¥
Tomato (1kg) 773.33 ¥ x 23.1466667 = 17,900.09 ¥
700 000 JPY before tax (550 000 after) in Tokyo? Don't want to spend 2 hour in a train. Work in the city center.
However, Abe not learning the wisdom of history and instead foolishly racing to lend money to a dishonest country like Myanmar where there is a poor record of no returning debt.
Maybe Abe should not risk with the future of Japan where Japan might need the debt from Myanmar one day for an emergency use but with no debt returning whatsoever from Myanmar at that point of time with Abe already out of office, please explain now what Japan can do to recover the debt from Myanmar at that point of time. Is it the failure of later government at that point of time not being to able to recover debt from Myanmar or is it the fault of Abe not learning history, resulting of his foolishly lending money to Myanmar without thought of consequence ?
Instead of borrowing money to Myanmar from the pocket of government, Abe should lend his family wealth to Myanmar instead and then Abe would certainly hesitate to lend money to Myanmar where there is a clarity of no debt returning as equal as losing money forever.
Abe should treat the government fund just like his family wealth or else he is not worthy of the position of government head, seemingly with an intention of destroying the future and security of Japan by wasting the government fund in kind of passing debt attached with the Japan government fund to Myanmar where no expectation of returning debt to Japan from Myanmar in the future.
So Abe should stop lending money to Myanmar altogether and also recover all outstanding debt from Myanmar the soonest possible while in office or else later no one else would be able to recover the debt from Myanmar anymore which Abe lent to Myanmar while in office many years ago.
