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).

Hey, cost of living, without rent. I'm talking about rent though.

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.
