Blog #4 Tokyo is most expensive city

Hi I’m Shiori. I am talking about interesting news,  “Tokyo takes over as world's most expensive city for expats”.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS

·         Tokyo moved up from No. 2 last year to become world's most expensive city

·         Housing costs are the biggest indicator of cost of living, researchers say

·         Euro crisis caused many European cities to fall in rankings

·         Asian cities make up five of the top 10 most expensive cities

As the news said, housing costs is expensive in Tokyo. Instead, you can go to the convenience store by walk, go shopping and hang out friends by train easily. Do you think living Tokyo is expensive? And have you compared with the price of other cities?

  1. Be careful - this news talks about expats, not Japanese and other long-term residents of Japan. So, maybe there is a difference. Also, you should say when this news was reported and when the data were collected - which year?
    You asked us a question, but wouldn't it be nicer if you could do some research yourself? As it is, this blog is rather too short. And please label the photo.
    Have you considered the salaries in Japan vs. the cost of living? People make different amounts of money in different countries. These salaries reflect the cost of living, or the amount of money it costs to live daily life.
    Please think about this more and give your opinion about your question - is Tokyo an expensive city to live in?
