Posted in: Fewer domestic travelers seen in Golden Week See in context
Yeah prices skyrocketed due to the weak YEN.
I gave up on travelling during the Golden Week as there are just too many tourists.
Companies can have foreigners money, but please don't come back when this OVER TOURISM rush will be over and all those companies will be left will local demand and high prices.
I bet they will go straight to the government for some allowance or aid.
Like Kyoto, what the city of Kyoto will do with all those hotels after the TOURIST rush will be over?

The numbers are still quite high.
I'm thinking of taking my first vaccination soon as I was foolish enough not to take it before.
Stay safe and take care of each other.

They need soldiers.
Luckily, LDP is loosing steam due to the scandals and price/tax hikes.
However they will probably want to conscript residing foreigners if the situation will start to be bad.

Posted in: Yen falls to lower 155 zone against dollar after suspected intervention See in context
This article sounds like YEN dropping to 155 is a great success.
However it didn't state that YEN depreciated almost 50% from 100 per USD level.
Depreciation can't be stopped, do YEN will devaluate more. Prices of products in supermarkets will increase.
I would take that chance and convert your YEN to more stable currency like USD.
Next stop 175 and then 200.
It's inevitable.

Hmm they might be criminally responsible, but as a psychiatris I believe he has enough cash to buy himself and his family out of this case.
We will see how the case develop.
