17 August, Tuesday - Mars day, moon in Sagi
Around 90 thousand travelers will be back in Tokyo on 17th and 18th.
(The number of people using Narita International Airport between
15 July or 31 Aug is expected to be up 5% from last summer
to 3.8 million.)
Travelers appreciate Yen hikes. Now one US dollar reaches nearly 85yen.
... Good for shopping, Bad for local economy.
Asian stock markets are weeping.
Our PM Kan did not take action against the hikes, saying 'We are taking a
close look at the market.'
'Taking a close look' means 'Oh! I've heard of it lately.' in Japan.
Mr. Kan, you need this. Ice cream.
This time around, thinking cool thoughts isn't working any more.
No, you can not ask the Bank of Japan! Intervene immediately!
(where is choco? different from the package photo!
79yen = $0.92)
