My friends went to Edinburgh for a few days. They were forced to take a cover from a torrential rain in a pub. As it happened the pub was specialising in whisky. A Japanese tourist asked the barmen:
What is the most expensive whisky you have?
£17 (per shot - 25ml  ).
OK, do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah, go on.
I don't know. Maybe she was a very rich lady, but I think it was a good example of different price perception. |
A good whiskey here can cost you £75 for a shot... I pay almost £17 for three cups of tea in Starbucks.
A single stalk of celery costs almost £2. And apple can cost £4
Yes, the Japanese do enjoy traveling because everything seems so cheap!
I'm drinking a mug of East India Company's 'Assam' tea, because I can't afford to shop in the Japanese Marriage Frers shop!
