I also agree with hokeydokey, prices here are shocking. I just priced a quarter slice of watermelon for 400 yen. That's $4.00 US and would would come to $16.00 for one stinking melon stateside, that is unbelievable. A melon back home is $3.00 tops ! As for the rest of this jibberish, I have found Tokyo and the rest of Japan to be anything but liveable. For me its all about comfort. The houses are cramped and poorly built. The morning commute is a drain. And anyone who hasn't experienced this on a daily basis has no right commenting about life here, it is the norm. Throw in the heated summers and well, no thank you !

Phelps is an absolute machine ! Love how he stuck to the mouthy Frenchman yesterday too ! Amazing how the Americans just churn out one great athlete after another.

Retail sales, down. Supermarket sales, down. Department sales, Down. Convenience store sales, down. What has happened here ? These diminishing sales figures continue month after month after month. How can the Japanese retail sector get it so wrong ? Don't they understand their own customers anymore ? Apparently not !
