in China, the banana is very cheap. Even in France, it's said only 1.9 Euro /kg.
When I told them 13 AusDollar/kg in Sydney for Banana, they are shocked.
Sydney's banana is only expensive because there was a flood.
You could easily find $1.99 banana last year too, it all depends on the amount they can supply
still, things are more xpensive in sydney on average...
Even old people without any education, they can conclude the life pressure is similar between China and Australia.
(The house is cheaper in Aus but many others are more expensive. I mean Avg price/Avg income of immigrant)
The good thing is only for your saving. It seems you can save more in Aus because you could do shopping or purchase with your saving oversea.
