Depreciation of the Yen - Pride

April 30,2024

With the Golden Week holiday starting and some free time on my hands, I went out to look at foreign-made campervans that could be used as a mobile office. The reason I’m interested in foreign-made ones is that I’ve always felt a certain sophistication in the living spaces of vehicles produced in countries with a culture of driving to favorite spots and enjoying holidays while staying in the vehicle. However, due to the recent depreciation of the yen, the shop owner was lamenting the incredible cost of importing these vehicles. Yesterday, the yen fell to 158 to the dollar, a level not seen in 34 years. On the this morning's news, visitors to Japan from overseas said that 40,000 yen for accommodation is not much! while Japanese domestic travellers were left with the comment that 20,000 to 30,000 is their limit....
When I was still young, the cost of living in Japan was one of the highest in the world. I remember international comparisons being made based on the price of a McDonald's Big Mac, and people talking about how expensive it was in Japan. However, nowadays the index is almost equal to that of Vietnam.

Recently, an activist opposing the regime died in prison in an authoritarian country. The true cause is unclear, but it was reported as a natural death due to illness. In another similar authoritarian country, a second-in-command, who had a falling out with the overwhelmingly powerful leader, was dismissed and soon passed away. This was also reported as a natural death due to illness. In centralized authoritarian states, advocating for ideas different from those of the central authority can sometimes pose a risk.

Infallibility - Because there's no such thing.

My son recently finished his entrance examinations. In the end, he passed. But he had to pass all of them. Failure is absolutely unforgivable. He seemed to have driven himself into a corner with such thoughts, and fell into a slump in the early stages of the exam. I realized that it is just fine to be lucky to get into one of the many schools I wanted to apply to, even if I didn't make it.

Morning Phase - A Comfort

January 31,2024

The title is a song by Beck, an American musician. It is a relaxing and soothing song that is perfect for starting the day. I was listening to it while walking this morning. I have had fewer hard mornings in the past few years. I can distance myself from the nausea caused by the irritation, despair, and excessive pressure of the gloomy days ahead.

Stability:Low risk, low return

December 31,2023

The other day, after Ieyasu Tokugawa destroyed the Toyotomi clan and took control of the country, a history program introduced the shift to a policy that emphasized seniority over ability in order to establish a stable, long-term government as the situation changed from wartime to peacetime.
