hey guys so I've noticed that I get tons
of comments from people saying that
Japan is so friggin expensive how do you
afford to live there or I'd really love
to live in Japan but I'm just not rich
enough to do it
and it just seems like there's this
misconception that Japan is a super
super expensive country but it really
isn't so I thought that I would show you
guys some things that I have bought
recently some everyday items so that you
can get an idea about how much it would
cost you to live here if you're planning
on living here or you would like to
someday or even as for a trip so yeah if
you're interested in that by watching so
let's start with the basics my apartment
here costs forty five thousand yen a
month that's just for the rent and the
electricity bill is about 3000 yen per
month gas bill is somewhere between
4,000 and 5,000 my phone bill is about
3,000 yen per month I would say and the
iPhone 4s itself cost about 50,000 yen
Anna's or 498 yen raisin bread there are
three slices in here comes 478 yen
Sakura peach tea 78 yen Sakura milk tea
98 yen green tea 78 yen grapefruit 97
yen
- for 105 yen Shampoo and Conditioner
698 yen q-tips 200 of them polish 400
yen each time and you'll get two sheets
this size so if you go with one friend
then you'll each get found this awesome
book it's a bunch of flashcards that you
can put out and use with your students
and it was 95 yen
thank you five yeah really good
[Music]
I drop that make you feel like you're
pouring Tabasco in your eyes 760 yeah
yeah warning about Japanese eyedrops
they burn like hell really really scared
me the first time
[Music]
so I really really hope that was helpful
and give you an idea how much it may
cost you to live here and I hope that
you now see that it's really really not
that unaffordable so yeah don't let
money worries make you give up on I need
your news you may have of living here
it's really and anyone who is willing to
work and try hard can definitely do it
