Dear Amir, I'm in Tokyo working on business models for small Japanese companies that are suffering with the high Japanese Yen to other hard currencies. One idea is for them to start production in Vietnam where their costs become one tenth that of Japan. We have a plant there that rents out space to companies that are interested. Thanks for thinking of me.
