No snow here in Bangkok - great day today

BuckLover · 12-29-2004, 12:53 AM

It's been raining 2 days almost non stop in California!

shima · 12-29-2004, 12:56 AM

It is heated, but the isolation is weak! They need to learn a thing or two about energy efficiency.

I'm freezing my ass off in my friend's apartment right now!

How are the prices in Tokyo? I heard this is one of the 3 most expensive cities in the World. Lets say what do you pay for a cup of coffee or a lunch?

Greg Jacobson · 12-29-2004, 01:15 AM

Japanese pussy should keep you warm at night.

wdsguy · 12-29-2004, 01:18 AM

sweet pics

BradM · 12-29-2004, 01:19 AM

Beautiful... wow I am really impressed.

Jay_StandAhead · 12-29-2004, 01:22 AM

Prices range from almost the same, to INSANE.

I'm not even in a big tokyo city, and everything is sort of expensive.

For example, drinks in bars are about $10USD each.

If you want to eat anything normal, in an average or below average restaurant, be ready to pay $25-35USD and still be hungry when you leave. (good dinners will cost you about $60-80/person). This might not seem high if you already live in a big city, but where I live in Victoria, BC, I can have the nicest dinner for about $30/person.

You could also eat in a "noodle" place for under $5usd, but it taste like crap ;)

the highways are "toll", and it can cost you up to $25USD for a stretch of 30 miles.

Everything that we have in north america that is being sold here is about 50% more expensive (or even more), and it's in way smaller quatities. Example: 1.5L of coke costs about $3.75 USD, compared to the $1-2 USD we pay for 2L in canada

McDonalds is about the same price as in the USD, but the portions are at least 30% smaller

The only way cheaper thing is cigarettes. In BC, it can cost around $7USD/pack - here it's $2.5-3 USD

true! I went to a "love hotel" a couple nights ago, and it was WILD

shima · 12-29-2004, 01:25 AM

Ok, thanks. Tokyo is now on my official Nevergothere list.

Honestly, best prices around the planet are in States and Canada area.. Even here in Yurp it might cost quite a few to get a decent meal. I'm not even talking about gas prices..

however, japan is extremely special. This is definitly my best trip ever, whatever it may cost me.

Hotel prices are decent, and you get WAY better service.

You HAVE to come here at least once in your life

Vitasoy · 12-29-2004, 01:32 AM

Nice pics, but wheres the chicks :food-smil

shima · 12-29-2004, 01:34 AM

I agree. I have to visit it once.
I found that USA is a different planet comparing to Europe. Hopefully I will get a chance to visit the far east one day as well..

Serious-Partner · 12-29-2004, 01:38 AM
