Posted in: Japan intervenes in currency market to weaken yen See in context
Can someone explain to me why the yen being high is a bad thing? I'm not too familiar with the matter.
Makes profits go down for J-companies. Why is that? Well, Americans buy a bulk of the Japanese exports, cars, electronics, etc. When A Sony TV is sold, it hinges on exchange rates. If the USD/JPY rate is up to 107, it's cheaper for Americans to buy it, hence more sales. When the rate is 75, less can afford it..

Worthy in my opinion. Many different great restaurants with different cuisines. Not just sushi or soba. My favorites are the ones with laid back, peaceful atmospheres and vibe.

There needs to be more done about bullies, in all schools. Setup a stricter set of rules for bullies, counseling for victims, etc. I wish I had the money to start an organization for bully awareness.

Posted in: Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO See in context
Was extremely sad to hear this news earlier. Have worked for Apple and been using macs since I was a pup, he's always been an inspiration. 99% of the CEOs of these Fortune 500 companies could leave and no one would care, but Jobs... is Apple. Cannot wait to read the autobiography. I hope his health isn't as bad as feared.

Posted in: In what technological or scientific fields is Japan still ahead of the rest of the world? See in context
I wish I could say video games, but they've been underwhelming as of late. I would say gourmet dining, as Tokyo has the most Michelin stars of any city in the world. Modern city, for sure, as no city in the world has as much modern advancements as Tokyo. Toilets, already been said. And lastly, transportation/subway systems. Surprised no one else said that.
