Dollar going down, yen going up. I am certainly happy but feel sorry for any US tourists coming over.

US citizens have been blessed with a strong economy for as long as i can remember, it's a pleasant change to be able to go to the US and not get bent over when purchasing any and everything.

As cool as living in the u.s. may be, i plan on spending the rest of my life in japan when will be in about 5 years and im 25 days or some where around there from turning 15. All i know is i hope that the u.s. dollar dosent go down so badly that my 10,000 hard earned u.s. cash wont turn out to be like 50,000 yen or something i think right now 10,000 is like 1,000,000 yen.

The yen is getting higher and higher, and the US dollar in sinking, as far as I know this is not very good for the Japanese, because the exports would be more expensive and then less people will buy Japanese exports, correct me if I was wrong?

Personally I can't really get it lol...

As for export, you are right. However, exporters are more resistant to forex risks than they used to be. We experienced 1$ = 79.75 yen back in 1995. Also, there are positive impacts. Imported goods will be cheaper, and that's good for consumers.
