...summer in Harvard Square. Wagamama has all the markings of the average fast food haven: a line out the door twenty diners deep, the decibel level of a subway station, and rushed, fairly inattentive service. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the prices to match. With the average meal ranging from $10 to $15 a head, it provides a very peculiar dining experience, where the communal tables and general hullabaloo make one feel like a kid at the lunch table emptying out his piggybank.

"At this rate, even a meal every day might become a luxury," says housekeeper May Oo, who now spends 60% of her salary on her daily bus ride to and from Rangoon...
...Last month's fuel hike led to a tripling of bus fares on some routes, leaving many of Rangoon's estimated 2.4 million commuters unable to afford their ride to work. The prices of basic foodstuffs like rice and eggs are also skyrocketing. "At this rate, even a meal every day might become a luxury," says housekeeper May Oo, who now spends 60% of her salary on her daily commute into Rangoon. Even upper-middle-class families are cutting back. Say Phaw Waa, a law student and daughter of a publishing-company executive, is considering joining a distance-learning program...
