@sora-
Today's news was a shock! It seems that about 50% of the approximately 1,400 households with elementary and junior high school students in Japan do not want to have summer vacation or would like it to be shortened because they need to pay for food and other living expenses when their children are home! Prices are rising rapidly in Japan, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult. Summer and winter vacations are very important times when we can spend a lot of time with our children, but it is too sad to see them stop doing so because of money!

Goodness, that is such a hard thing to hear, especially when summer events and food are such a big part of the culture. Sad.

All the things are so expensive in all the places, it's crazy. Anyone who says we beat inflation has hands over their eyes.

You are absolutely right! Prices keep rising, but wages have been stagnant for quite some time now.

@shulzzz
same here. and you have to stop with wages somewhere, but that transition period until things actually stop going up is brutal. japan also seems to be getting extra hard these days. hopefully normalizes again soon =/
