I would say shoes.
360 Dollar melon? - Yeah.
Cheap are the electronics like Playstation, Nintendo and stuff.
Cheap? Expensive?
Today Cathy Cat is gonna go and ask foreigners who have come to Japan
What is cheaper in their country or more expensive compared to here in Japan.
Let's go and ask foreigners in Japan.
We just started shopping but actually UBER is cheaper here
than it is at home. You know the car ride.
We have to check out the Converse shoes. I know they are about
60-100 Dollars in the US.
I don't know how much they are here.
UBER is a good example too.
The drinks and food are cheap compared to Australia.
We went to get our nails done and it was quite expensive compared to Australia.
Shopping ranges. It's quite similar you can find cheaper and more expensive things
Nails are expensive? What kind of nails did you want to get done?
We wanted to get acrylic fun kawaii ones but...
We are not sure yet, it was quite expensive.
How much was it?
How much? About 80 Australian Dollars which is...
Maybe 8,000-9,000 Yen.
Food is cheaper here? How much cheaper?
A fair bit cheaper...
We pay about half price here.
Let's go for something simple like a sandwich?
We had dumplings and some gyozas...
How much did you pay for that?
400 Yen
I think it averages out. We are from the San Francisco bay area.
It could be a little pricey.
We are comfortable with the prices here. Pretty reasonable.
Lot of food places though.
Tons of food places that we never experienced. Very small
5-6 seats maybe
That was pretty interesting where in the States we don't small eateries like that
Ours are pretty big so that was really nice.
Little sub streets and you go down the steps to your restaurant
I would say like shoes.
Shoes are a couple of hundred dollars.
It just depends on what kind of shoe it is out here.
Some of the shoe brands are cheaper out here than in America.
Some of the shoes that I have seen are a couple hundred dollars.
Yeah just expensive.
Food here is cheaper.
On the most part.
Food is super cheap. Where we live, going out to eat is pretty expensive
to go all the time.
Here you can choose really cheap options.
Everything is pretty much cheaper here.
There is nothing where you went "Oh that's more expensive"?
Watermelon.
Pardon?
Like Watermelons. Melons.
Expensive fruit right? Oh my gosh!
What is the most expensive fruit you have seen?
A watermelon for 86 bucks.
That was about right?
In an apartment store.
But apart from that Sydney is a really expensive place to live.
It's pretty cheap here.
Food! The food is so much cheaper!
Water you can get from the machines for like one Australian dollar.
But in Australia if you buy it they will ask for 4 dollars.
So it's so different.
Food you can't spend under $10 to buy your lunch.
But in Japan you can buy multiple things to eat.
But oh fruit!
Fruit is so expensive!
We went to Ginza and there....
There was a $160 melon.
Real $160 melon?!
Would you pay $160 for a melon?
No, but it's probably good quality.
In Switzerland everything is expensive.
There's isn't much here we have seen where we thought "wow that's expensive!"
Maybe we will see that but right now we didn't see that.
- Have you seen anything? - We are used to it.
To high prices.
Is there anything super cheap here? "That is so cheap I don't believe it!"
We are in a school so...
The school isn't really cheap but...
I hope we got good lessons and good teachers so...
I hope we can do that.
- Good value for your money then? - Yeah.
For half a year you are at a school, learning Japanese and staying there?
Yeah we have residence and come each day
we have to go from the residence to the school and back.
How much is the tuition and all together, if you said it's expensive.
The school itself is 16,000 Swiss Franc.
How much is that in Euros? I don't know what Swiss Franc is.
Good question I think 13-14,000 Euros.
Expensive, I would say food.
Food is expensive here?
Because of the currency. Malaysian currency and Japan is like...
And then what I see as cheap is the electronics like...
Playstation, Nintendo and stuff.
Playstation and Nintendo is cheaper in Japan?
Well if you compare it to Malaysia...
It's 1,600 for a Playstation 4
But here we can get 1000 only.
So that's like really cheap for us?
- I didn't know that. - In my opinion at least.
Those were all questions. Thank you so much.
Cheap VS Expensive, I must say there are a lot of things here
that are very cheap because China is quite close so for example the
100 Yen stores here in Japan stock so many things at such a cheap prize
you have nothing you can compare it to. Not even Poundland, or Euroshop
or Dollarshop can offer you the same quality for the same prize.
There are so many goods in there.
That's one of the things many people love in Japan.
You can go shopping and it's just 100 Yen.
Or 108 Yen with the current tax.
Expensive in Japan is one thing.
Oh my god are special fruits and meat expensive in Japan!
The director of Ask Japanese explained it to me.
The said "The first thing of the year is always very important."
There is the first dream of the year that's important.
And in this case the first fruit of the year is very important.
If you have from a high class brand the very first fruit
that one will be very expensive and sold sold specifically
because it's the very first fruit of the year of this very special brand.
What he told me is that grapes, one of those little branches,
The most expensive one last year for the first grapes of the year
of one company was...
Over 1,000,000 YEN!
For fruits! For GRAPES!
It's out there and people do buy it because it's supposed to be very good
and very tasty. Fruits have little numbers on them,
and the number indicates how sweet they are.
If you pick the right number you will never get a sour strawberry
ever in your life. It will be more expensive but will be incredibly sweet.
So that's the merit of that.
Hope I catch you soon for another video from Ask Japanese.
What's the most expensive and cheap thing that you can find in your country?
Catch you soon on Ask Japanese or my channel! Bye!
