Mikiex#3094 can be read as "only in Tokyo world-wide cuisine is available." 
bamboo4To avoid that, I have added やっぱり.
 
nhk9I have seen Dakeni in several Level 2 grammar books before, so I think it would be safe to say that Dakeni should be a Level 2 expression, instead of level 1.  
dcnhk9 - updated thanks. 
benni[ex#6176] This may be picky, but I disagree with the translation. If I am mistaken please correct me as it is important for other learners to understand. "Her parents are living alone in the countryside. (As one would expect) Since they are getting older, as a daughter she is worried (about them)."
