This site gave you wrong information. Beef bowl : $4.69 Can of beer : $1.35-2.96 One kg of rice: $8.47 Japanese people prefer Japanese rice. One dozen eggs:$1.85 Movie ticket: $22 It's true but There are lots of discount ticket shops here in tokyo.
Yes I did actually.... I didn't catch the small print on the first link. But just as everywhere, a little digging can get you some cheaper prices... unfortunately that doesn't usually apply to tourist areas.
But the Scandinavians are running close behind you.

kagero: You can buy a "Big Mac Extra Value Meal" for US$8 in Tokyo. London is the most expensive city I know.
*Japanese economy is in a deflationary spiral.
Last time I was in the Maldives years ago..one small bottled water was 7 USD! But which country is the most expensive..that depends on the avarage salaries. Considering that the avarage wage in Australia is about 600 AUD per week(for single parents) and the rent of 2 small bedroom flat in a not so flashy suburb is about 300 AUD...childcare without government subsidy is about 400 AUD per week...I think Sydney Australia is pretty expensive.

For example the average starting salary of Switzerland is...US$7,400
Almost all the post-conflict countries such as Afghanistan, South Sudan, Liberia are considered as expensive countries because most of the stuff (food stuff and basic surviving materials) are imported from develop countries such as US, UK, Japan .... The price is double or triple than from origin countries.

It's your fixed idea.You have never been to Japan, haven't you? 99.99% on CS have never been to Japan, So most people don't know much about Japan.
Do you know that house prices in China are more expensive than house prices in Japan?
I don't know about now, but when I lived in Japan for 5 years back in the 80s it was so expensive that US dollars were useless there, the exchange rate was so low that it was better to just leave the dollars for later return to the west than to change them and lose most of their value.
Rent for a small, modest, 2 room apartment in Japan was equivalent to rent for a large well-equipped house in the US. Just a simple restaurant meal was about 20 dollars per person (remember this was in the 80s). Fortunately, salaries were fairly high too, so although life was expensive, it was possible for people working in Japan.
But anybody who's income came from the US or Europe would see their money disappear before their eyes.

I never bought a house in Japan. But I know that my landlord paid the equivalent of 300,000 dollars (in 1980) for the small, modest 4 bedroom house where I was living in Minoo.

No one in Switzerland could live on only 7,000 a year. From what your first post said, I assumed you meant yearly salary? I found information on the country "my family" comes from Switzerland and the average salary per person for one month is almost 5,000 a month..which is over 60,000 a year.

think_twice_B4: come to Belgium and you will know what expensive really means, i mean ration between incomes, taxes and prices.
I know ,already checked out the information about Belgian economy. VAT 21% (Denmark 25%, Sweden 25%) Average monthly salary Euro22,000 The prices of Belgium are as high as prices of the U.K.
