I've been in Japan 11 years and this has never happened. In fact, the last time it did was back during the "bubble economy" days of the late 80s - early 90s....and that was because the Japanese economy was doing so well. Now it's because the American economy is doing so badly.

Same story here in the UK.

1GBP = 1.72USD

1USD = 99.6JPY

1GBP = 170.4JPY

If i calculated it right, that means that the GBP is just as weak as the USD against the Yen.

Yeah...the yen is usually about 200 - 210 against the Pound.

The Yen should be falling soon as well. Their economy should follow, as their stock market fell almost 9% yesterday.

Wow, that fell quite a bit. When I went over in May-June everything was very cheap.
