    Not cheap. That’s how much a flat for one person costs in Zurich centre. You just have insanely high rents.

      I said “including” rent. The rent alone is about 560USD. I haven’t lived in Zurich but I know for a fact that Basel is about twice as expensive.

      I just checked out of curiosity and you’re full of crap. Zurich is far more expensive than Tokyo (or any other place in Japan).

        2 rooms flats start at around CHF 1300, if you’re lucky.

        Edit: ah, you meant Japan side is rent and living.

          If you actually read the page, you’ll find that it does have a price for the rent. The other part was precisely my point. Rent in Japan is a lot lower. 1500 includes rent and cost of living.
