[065] Inflation Woes 通貨膨脹的恐怖

-
I got the shock of my life after returning to Singapore for vacation. Houses were 30% more expensive than when I'd left less that 2 years ago! Looks like my dream of buying a small studio is popping into bubbles... Meanwhile, it looks like inflation in US and in China is not any better, only Japan is suffering from deflation. Oh heck, with Japan living costs getting cheaper and Singapore getting more expensive, I wonder if we'll end up the same eventually? Hmm...

回新加坡後發現通貨膨脹的速度快到實在嚇人。2年前的房子現在貴了超過30％，再這樣下去，看來我以後買不起房子了！除此之外，美國和中國也一樣面對物價高漲的問題，只有日本是通貨緊縮。我在想...日本生活費越來越便宜，新加坡越來越貴，會不會遲早變一樣呢！？

    小卓：我們政府的津貼是挺好的，只是我想現在女生教育比較高，所以都想事業穩固後才考慮生孩子。因為養育孩子的重任，終究是母親。母親花在孩子上的時間一定比父親多。

This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week. So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
