COST OF LIVING
In the past years, product prices in Spain have increased sharply; they have even been duplicated since the set-up of the new currency, the Euro, while the salaries have only risen by 30% approximately. The consequence of this situation is the drop of the quality of life due to a higher cost of living.
Firstly, the main cause of this increased cost of living was the increase in all prices due to the change of currency since there was a big change and, as a consequence people lost purchasing power.
After that, salaries did not increase at the same rate (or speed?) as the product prices overall, so there was a imbalance between money earned and the cost of living. So nowadays it is more difficult to be able to afford products than it was some years ago.
Finally, another point to consider is that the economy has been injured in the country, since tourists prefer other countries like Italy or Greece to enjoy their holidays in order to save some money but taking advantage of the same characteristics of Spain such as good weather, big beaches, delicious gastronomy…
To conclude, it has been reported by some data bases stating that the cost of living in our country is 23% lower than in United States, which shows that Spain has left the list of the cheapest countries in the world, and we hope not to reach the thirty first positions in the ranking in the future.0 votedAugust 9, 20162I'm Yen.

Last weekend, my friends and I went to see a fireworks event. It was so beautiful that I am now looking forward to seeing it every summer. Today I'm going to explain why fireworks are launched in Japan in August. Once upon a time, people in Japan made fire outside their house to see off the souls of their ancestors in August. but nowadays a lot of firework events are held instead of making fire by ourselves. Of course, in some areas, traditional styles are still practiced. One of the most famous events is held in Kyoto. Many people watch this event every summer.0 votedAugust 9, 20161
