賽の目マンゴ

11月1日（土）快晴

ケアンズは州都ブリスベンから北に2000km。陸の孤島で物価が高い。車も家電も衣類も外食も高いので日本に行くと物価の安さにびっくり。ケアンズで安いのは近郊の野菜と果物。市場で購入した走り物のマンゴは1kg級で1個350円。1ヵ月後の夏になれば1個100円まで値を下げます。物価が高くてもケアンズは冷房や暖房が不要、衣服もTシャツ・短パン・サンダル。ストレスが少ない住みやすい街です。

Cairns is 2000km distance away to the north from Brisbane. As it is a solitary island in green prices are high. The price of cars, electronics, clothing, and restaurants is so high that I am surprised with reasonable price when I go to Japan. The reasonable things in Cairns are vegetables and fruits from the suburbs. An early mango that I bought from the market has around 1kg and it is $3.50. When summer comes in a month it will drop to $1 each. Although prices are high you don’t need an air conditioners and heaters, and you need only short pants, T shirts, and thongs. You can be relaxed as you have little stress here.
