Has the dollar dropped? when did that happen?
I fly out on the 14th so pretty sure it will still be screwed when we get over. Was going to buy some yen last week too. Didn't know its worth heaps more

5 weeks ago 1 AUD = 100 yen or close to
this week 1 AUD = 65 yen.
your holiday is going to cost you 40% more.
my brother is in the same boat, so we are watching it every day.

thanks for reminding me.... AGAIN.

I am aware of the situation, I was trying to say thanks for pointing it out to me

The Japanese LOVE their Minis. There are many shops that stock all manner of cars, parts, memorabilia and collectables.

Here are a few good places to visit:

Turtle Trading
There's one in Tokorozawa, about 25 minutes by train outside of Tokyo.

The other is in Yamate, Yokohama. You could visit this one on your way down to Kyoto.

This is a map (Japanese Mini Association) of many Mini related shops in Japan based on district:

Have fun and don't spend too much money!
