How can you tell a rich person in Japan?

But when a Japanese goes to China, he/she may think you are so rich as you can offer him/her a whole watermelon

@youless You're absolutely right.

@caopaopao Perhaps you even have more watermelons at home

I visited there in summer and it is the summer time. So watermelon shall be still in the right season.

@youless What do you think is the reason why it is expensive?

@Shavkat I think Japan doesn't have a big land to grow watermelon and this is why everything costs much more than other countries.

I didn't notice melon at that time.

@LadyDuck Hard to believe it

@youless If you are interested, two melons in Japan were sold for $ 29,000

A good bodyguard shall not be noticed

Now finally I know where you come from

@Hannihar In the past I didn't know where you come from until you mentioned Israel. Not many Mylotters come from Israel and this is why I think you are special here. That's what I want to mean

@youless Do you mean because of what I said about how you can tell a rich person or the what I said about watermelon? The people that had my cat before me named her Watermelon. I thought she did not look like one at all and I thought the name was stupid. I renamed her Sophie. She looks like a Sophie to me.

The regular local watermelon in Japan is already expensive. I think since they don't have a big land, so it costs more to plant the watermelon.

@Kasjnak Hopefully you could pass the custom without problems

@youless, probably so. Well, Japan is one of the countries I would like to visit, maybe I should bring some watermelons with me

When I am back to my city, we enjoy eating watermelon as much as we want

@youless .....We do in season.

I think Japanese can really enjoy the watermelon well enough when they travel abroad.

@SIMPLYD The land is small and the quantity will not be so many. Everything costs much more.

@youless I wonder why it is so expensive there?

It is interesting that the grapes were not very expensive in Japan. Perhaps it is just a little bit expensive than here. This is why I bought grapes instead of watermelon

@JudyEv Here avocadas are expensive but cherries are much more expensive.

@youless Grapes can be really expensive here sometimes. Avocadas are dear and cherries are too.

A small watermelon can cost over USD50 in Japan last August.

@youless $50 is a lot! Now I understand you post.

What I saw was a normal watermelon.

@youless

A small watermelon can easily cost more than USD50. This is what I saw from the market last August.

@renicemae The imported watermelons will not be as expensive as the local ones in Japan.

@youless What? That expensive? Are all those watermelons, imported? But even if those were imported, it shouldn't cost that much.

Please ask your Japanese friend whether he/she buys the whole watermelon

@mlgen1037 Waiting for the reply

@youless Okay, will do.

As everything cost much more to plant the watermelon, such as the land.

@youless ohh I see..

@youless , Yes you have a point there! Thanks!

I think the crazy expensive watermelon grown in Japan. I don't think it costs so much to import them

Perhaps many things need to ship to Hawaii and this is why it is much more expensive.

It is true that I can not see a really cheap thing there.

Perhaps Bill Gates just drives an old car?

In fact it doesn't mean something special to have square watermelon.

Here usually cherries are expensive fruits
