yuk! no way, i ain't no vegetarian.
So get your wife to cook some stuff (or do it yourself). My girlfriend can cook a great meal for 800 for two people. Your wife is Japanese, right?
We've eaten just about every animal, mineral and vegetable on a very reasonable budget. I have never had such a varied and ....more importantly...balanced diet. (mind you, that's not saying a great deal considering the horrendous stuff that passes as food in the UK  )
I agree, one of the best things about Japan is the food, be it expensive or otherwise. |
Cooking for 2 explains it a litte. That is why you can get some variety. But if you are cooking for one you would be stuck with cabbage and little else. |

Ah.... Mr. Mulder forgot to tell us is that his Japanese girlfriend cooks for him. THis being the case, of course his food bill will be cheaper.
Misrepresentation therefore. I still maintain that it is unrealistic to say the average English teacher can eat well on 1000 yen/day. 1) they are usually single and 2) they usually don't know where to shop to get bargains like that.
If you are married to a Japanese perhaps you can - depends on your wife and Lord knows they vary a whole lot.
And no, my wife is NOT Japanese  |
