I am going on holiday to Korea because the strength of the yen relative to the Korean currency makes it worthwhile financially.
There are job losses in Japan. Temporary contract workers are being cut. This is one of the biggest issues affecting us today.
Fortunately, I depend on my father at the moment because I am a postgraduate student so I am not directly affected. I live in a city with big shopping malls and I do see people there. But they are only looking at the products and not buying.
There are many Japanese Brazilian workers here and unfortunately companies are cutting these workers first of all. They are now wandering the city, jobless and I can't help but feel a little bit worried about that. |
