2016-11-03 09:44:58 +0000 UTCYou have a really good point about how you get what you pay for here. "Expensive" is really relative to one's home country. I find Japan to be a bit expensive on accommodations since they always charge per person as opposed to per room, but anything more than $20USD a night is always super clean. Food is the same, if you drop a lot of a meal here you are not going to be fed trash food. Or well...so I've been told. Hahahaha. We certainly do realize being here so long as affected us, but it's hard to know exactly how much and in what ways when you calculate in normal aging with it. -E

2016-11-03 09:44:37 +0000 UTCYou've definitely changed your attitude to food since you've been there. I commented on this earlier. Age may contribute to it too but Japan certainly changes your attitudes on SO many things. When I travel, I economise on lodging and spend up on food.My economising is less frugal then yours but it's amazing how cheap Japanese accommodation is even if it's not hostel style. Even their cheap accommodation is of excellent quality and cleanliness. In Australia, cheap accommodation often means dirty and nasty. Expensive food here means nothing. Sometimes here. the most expensive food is the most disappointing. In Japan, the more you spend, the better the value. Modern kaiseki is stunning and may only cost ¥5,000 for multiple, exquisite courses. In Australia, you can pay that for one course and get crap. Japan gives quality in product and service.
