And 360 yen to the dollar back in the late 60s. One of the nice

~115 Yen to
the US Dollar. It was 105 when I was there in 1996. It's
been better recently, it was worse formerly. I _think_ the US dollar
hit a low of 87 Yen or so around the time you are thinking of.
It was about 250 yen to the dollar 20 years ago, when I bought my Epson
RC20 (Z80 based wrist computer) If you insist on avoiding the local cuisine, ANY place
is too expensive.
Amen!
