2700 bucks would only last you a couple of days in NYC...you should be thankful it lasted you a week....I assume you mean TOYKO, Japan,,,,a major city, and an expensive one at that

workingclasshero ! ... Well Said ! .............
btw up here on the east coast of Portland the Big Fattening Mac meal is just under $12 ! ...... America ..... What A Country !
is there any way you guys think that america will get better
im not asking will it get better, or how it will.
cuz right now it sucks!!!!!
i went to japan with 5000 dollars and only got back about 2700 dollars back (but in yen of course)
thats almost half! i could only stay in japan for about a week only buying food and train tickets (stayed with family)
its been bad for a couple years now but loosing nearly half my money is just wow
and our "leader" is eating at $5 burger places... no class. we need a new president to fix things
You want it fixed it will take more than just a new president it will take a new political party. one that is funded by the little guy you and I. Forget right wing andf left wing they have left the middle wide open. The Penny pinching people's party.

The current president is the one that is attempting to assure a more secure enviornment for the "average" (read not wealthy) american. . . and you want to get rid of him in order to allow the Republicans to continue their "government by and for the wealthy and powerful" agenda? I fail to see how that will help you.
I suppose the question you should be asking yourself then is, "Do we want a 'not wealthy, AVERAGE America or do we want a PROSPEROUS, POWERFUL and SUCCESSFUL America?"
What made America the wealthyest nation on earth is the size and wealth of the middle class. That was then this is now. We are broke and china is going to be the rcihest nation on earth. Wana do something about it? Pay the poor more and stop outsorcing jobs to china.

well its working for japan... they have a huge middle class and their lower and upper classes are small
america... alot of rich people... a TON of poor people, and a shrinking middle class
and what i believe is that america for the passed 70 years OR SO has been so rich was because of the fact that WW2 and WW1, the rest of the world was still re-building from the wars while america was all good
but now that the world is built up... america needs to do something different to keep up with the world, but americas rich is too greedy to pay the poor more, and the gov is paying too much to the poor

i kinda went to my bank in mishima... thats how much they gave me back
300000 yen, no charges no fees just my money
and you dont see ANY other country leaders eating at some $5 rastaurant... do you? maybe some country in south america. but all other leaders you see are working, doing something, making something better, but obabma you see him on the news going on vacations, eating out to dinner with his wife, going to vegas, i feel like obama is just another person, not another leader
and ya our education system sucks, how can one part of the city have really good education, and another part of the city have a worse one when its the same country.
