And, JP explain why you would want to live in Japan and get paid in USD please.
Raster, I don't know what the Japanese government/banks did. I have herd various stories from the news. So I cant say for certain.
As for me, I run an american company based in CA. All our clients are in america. Our business acounts are with american banks. All clients pay us in US dollars, not yen. Understand why I am getting screwed now? Everytime I transfer USD to my bank in Japan I lose money. 3 years ago it was great. 120yen to the dollar. But now it is 80 yen to the dollar. A 35% swing....
