How much will you budget for an average two-day business trip in Japan/ Hong Kong?
Here are the figures suggested by "The Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey":
Japan = 121,410YEN
Hong Kong = HK$8,110
Sounds fair enough?
But this is the figures EXCLUDING flight!
Excluding flight, 121,410YEN can sustain a luxurious 2-day trip even in Tokyo.
121,410YEN can actually pay for my standard one-week business trip in full -- not a penny-pinching trip staying in a capsule hotel & get fed on 300YEN noodles or 7-Eleven rice balls, but staying in a comfortable conveniencely located business hotel, have every meal in proper eateries, plus a 1-week rail pass, and still have enough money to buy boxes of souvenir to bring home. I would consider this as "above average" already.
$8,110 in Hong Kong can guarantee another luxurious 2-day trip. Definitely enough to stay in a 5-star hotel, having every meal in top-class restaurant, and travel all by taxi.
Is it "average"??
I wonder what they included in the calculation...
