Price Increase

I contacted an optician in Japan because a small part of my glasses was missing. The maintenance cost was 7700 JPY. It was ridiculously expensive, so I tried to fix it by myself. In the evening, I went to the bar Stiefel. The bar owner and a regular customer, Klaas, were working on changing the menu prices. After I finished drinking, I checked the receipt. The price of my favorite beer, St. Bernardus, was raised from €6.75 to €7.25 (1320 JPY). It had already been raised only a few months ago, and it is getting higher again. I must say it is insane. It is too expensive. For dinner, I cooked rice in a pan and poured leftover tomato stew over it. I ate it like curry with rice.
