Unseen Japan
@unseenjapan @TomatoGrilledCheese Some businesses already charge a gaijin premium. Or so I have heard.

@willofgregor @unseenjapan Yeah, this is just them trying to justify it now.

When The wife and I went to The U.S. in 2011 for Christmas I remember JPY being 77JPY to 1USD. Nobody was asking my wife where she was from and asking her to pay more. This is just Japan only ever able to think about Japan and not what is fair.
