I am in Tokyo for last 6days and 5 nights ... This is the first time I visited Japan in August (in the middle of summer) in dacades. The tempratures have been about 93 to 95 degree but the humidity is killing me.
I walked 8 to 10 thiousand stemps everyday I am in tokyo. It is probably 4 to 5 time more than what I walk in Seattle. I feel good about walkig this much but I wish the weather has been cooler. I will come back again in the fall.

My Business Trips to Japan
My business trip to Japan, which starts in Seattle on August 11, is only a few days away. And on August 26, I’ll return to Seattle on a nonstop flight from Narita. It’s been ten months since Japan opened its long-standing Covid-19 lockdown last October. Since then, I’ve gone to Japan for business trips once every two months.
Although it was difficult entering Japan at first, it’s easier now since they’ve removed the requirement of negative Covid tests and proof of vaccination.
Japan’s prices have also become more expensive, but its price increase is still slower compared to the U.S., and Japan’s tourism has improved because of how weak Yen has become. In addition to that, Americans see Japan as a clean and safe place.
I don’t like that so many foreigners come to Japan, but I guess it’s still financially important for Japan’s tourism industry. I, on the other hand, tend to look for places where many foreigners don’t go.
On my business trips to Japan, I talked to many people, so thank you very much. I’d love to get to know more people; you don’t even have to work in the same industry. I’d love to talk to people from various businesses to broaden my knowledge. We look forward to hearing from you.

When you order a cup of coffee for 700 yen .. then you can add a toast, boiled egg and a cup of soup for 60 yen. The total is 760 yen ... which is about $5.50. In Japan, you usually do not hetr refill for your drink.

I went out for breakfast this morning. Initially, I planned to visit a convenience store like 7-Eleven, but I couldn't locate any in the vicinity of my current location. As a result, I opted to visit Shinagawa Station, renowned as one of Tokyo's busiest rail stations.
The sheer volume of people disembarking from trains and bustling towards their offices was truly remarkable. Eventually, I decided to have my breakfast at the Isetan Department Store within Shinagawa Station. I enjoyed a hot dog, a donut, and an iced coffee, all for the price of 850 yen, which is approximately $6.00.

I arrived in Tokyo yesterday and decided to indulge in some American cuisine. I opted for a classic clubhouse sandwich, which satisfied my craving. Later, I checked into a hotel that boasts a view facing Tokyo Tower. The weather forecast indicates another day of 95°F heat here in Tokyo.

One of the intriguing aspects is the prevalence of food samples or displays in Japanese restaurants. This allows you to visually select your desired dishes when placing orders in Japan.

Three D Jobs
You may have heard of Three D jobs work, which stands for “difficult", "dirty", and "dangerous". Therefore, they are unpopular, even though they are also necessary. These jobs have a higher unit cost because fewer people apply for them.
This is true not only for employment but for business. With less competition, companies can raise the selling price. On the other hand, more companies offer jobs everyone wants, so for those jobs, there’s a lot of competition, so it’s likely price competition will occur.
When starting a new business, it’s important to consider what kind of work is " difficult", "dirty", and "dangerous" with little competition. Many businesses in the world are indispensable but there aren’t many companies that can provide the same services. So, it might be a good idea to consider them.
As a side note, here’s a boy scout saying:
saying from the Boy Scouts of America, "I am willing to do what others don't want me to do”. When I asked my friend what that meant, he replied, "to harass people" and he wasn’t allowed to join the troop. Everyone laughed at him, but when someone asked me the same question, I gave them the same answer. I’m lucky they didn’t ask this question in my entrance exam.

I was able to use Fidelity Debit Card to withdraw money at ATM in Japan.
I withdraw 50,000yen ... It costs me $346.13 ... the rate was 144.45yen = $1.00
There seems no transaction fee not ATM fee charged.
There was a option to get charged in US $ at ATM but I selected to charge my account in Japanese yen. It was muchu better rate that way.
Also, I wanted to withdraw 100,000yen but it was over the limit.
