Great to hear it's not causing misery for everyone, 2 sides to every coin I guess and hope it doesn't seem i'm just focusing on the negative! I can deal with poor rates when buying Gunpla and other small items, but the Weddings in Kyoto is costing us thousands more than when booked and that's a bit of a bugger! Glad you like the Kizuna pic :) I luuurve that game, my pilot card has pride of place in my wallet ready to be used again! Woah Busterbeams on my blog! welcome!

I never thought it'd get as low as it has... pretty much every travel guide to japan quotes £ - ¥ as 220ish which shows how truly out of the ordinary this situation is! Despite the mad exchange rate I'm still glad I went though, always worth it for the amazing loot! :) Shocking isn’t it!
