Agree, Brad. It was 360 yen to the dollar in the late 60s and early 70s when I was there, but that is now almost ancient history.
Today it is 124.80 yen. See the monthly, quarterly, 1 and 2-year charts @ http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/index-e.htm. Monthly and quarterly rising. Karen We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. A strong dollar and we can't sell anything; a weak dollar and we can't buy anything (it's a global economy, we know!). The dollar is 20% higher than it was 5 years ago? Well, I think it's about 120 yen to the dollar these days. It was 260 yen to the dollar when I was in Japan in the mid 80s. Outgoing Mail Scanned by NAV 2002
