Imagine paying $1.50 for a bulb of garlic. Or $4 for an apple. One stalk of celery (not the entire head, just one stalk,) at the supermarket today was going for $1.75. These are all locally grown... 
Think of it this way. A Big Mac, Fries, and a Large coke set costs $8.50 in Japan. This is NOT a place to try to retire and live on S.S.

there are a LOT of Navy personnel here that have been stationed in Japan. I've heard many of the stories!
