...Anyways, the country i come from, most prices (except sum basic consumer basket) are kinda the same as in Milan, but the wages are times lower...

....I live in Milan now, and it's terribly expensive, wouldn't say prices are lower than the ones mentioned above,maybe since there's this obvious corruption here,everything is "natural"(if u know what i mean) region-controlled duopoly-oligopoly competing a la cournot:)..my friend here went to Dublin for exchange, she said, for example prices on clothes are lower koz there's 2 main firms competing on prices)...

I don't know how stay in perspective with all these excessive costs and charges I would drive into bed cringe and be sick with worry myself but I admire bravery your for facing these charges and all these charges on a daily basis myself I couldn't because its costly enough in the UK as it is if these charges came to the UK their would be a full riot on our hands and also try to overturn the government and the house of lords I think lol

Dude you have put things in perspective. I have the choice between Inaka and Tokyo. Tokyo is so exciting but so expensive. Options, options.

Graphic design jobs, I have alot of gifts in that field.Not to mention that Tokyo makes money off of art.

Lol, live in the philippines and with that much expenditures, you can live a luxurious life. LOLThough finding jobs here can be rough, at least the cheap cost of living and niceness of the people makes up for it. XD-Don't mock me, both my parents have their own businesses... my dad's a politician and my mom works as a dentist overseas.
