View from my hotel

This is the view from my hotel this morning. The tower you see is called TOKYO TOWER. They are building another tower that will be twice as high.

I am in Tokyo ... one of the largest cities in the world with the population of 12 million. The currency exchange is about 90 yen to an US$1. Which means yen is very strong. Even with that strong yen, you can have this lunch for 750 yen, or about $8.25. There is no tipping in Japan. So that is what you pay. It is a great meal ... if you like fish.

EXCHANGE RATE

Sep

29

I have a business trip to Japan starting tomorrow. The current exchange rate is about 90 Yen to US$1. Yen is very strong. This makes a can of Coke (120 yen) $1.33 equivalent. Hotel (New Otani, Tokyo) is about $255 which is not bad compared to hotels in New York.

Our company watch exchange rate very carefully because over 50% of revenue comes in Japanese yen. Higher Yen is not good for may travel, but it is good for my company.
