I'm sick of how expensive it is here!

I went to a cafe to kill some time - mind you, just the average bakery/drink selling big chain. But as it is Tokyo, and with our dollar at an all time low against the yen, this ridiculously small (Tokyo small is like American extra tiny) hot chocolate is 4.79907 USD. "What in tarnation?!?" you shout outloud as your chair topples over and you heave in indignation with more mumbled protests following suit. Yes, my thoughts exactly my friend, my thoughts exactly. It's not like it's some luxury brand hot chocolate either. In fact, they can't even make this drink properly as I struggle to finish what I consider to be more like liquid chocolate truffles. Here are some pictures for you to judge yourselves -




At least my drink was hot and the cafe is warm. Tonight I will be bouncing around at our weekly Friday Friendship Party!

Disclaimer: I am not really angry. Just wanted you to see how (EXORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE) my life here is.
