In Japan, as of June 1st...
two newsworthy items:
1) A new seatbelt law goes into effect. ALL passengers in a vehicle, no matter where they are seated, must wear a seatbelt while on the toll highways. This includes buses, taxis, limos, and other transportation vehicles as well.
2) Japanese gas prices rise to AT LEAST 170 yen per liter for the next six months. Most gasoline stations seem to be setting their price at 172/173 yen per liter. 1 gallon = 3.78 liters, thus 1 gallon costs approximately $6.60.
