Drinking Out
Sunday, December 4th, 2011I know it can be expensive to buy drinks in a restaurant in Japan but I can still get surprised. On Saturday I went out for pizza in Akihabara. I decided to order some cola as I was tired and thought that maybe the caffeine would perk me up. The drink I got was in a small glass, probably around 200 mls, and it cost 400 円 ($5 USD, £3.20 GBP). It was ridiculous. I knew how much the drink would cost before I bought it but I wasn’t expecting it to be so small. My friend ordered a glass of white wine. He got about the same amount of wine and it was cheaper than my soft drink. Next time I’ll stick to drinking tap water.
