<...c) buy some country, establish some retirement villages, encourage emigration...> New Zealand is for sale. We sell our souls for a very reasonable price. We learn Japanese or whatever language that the cash holders have and learn about sushi and stuff. We organize New Zealand Snow Adventures. snowadventures.co.nz. We teach them English for a very reasonable fee eigokyoshitsu.com and activity.co.nz They could buy New Zealand for about $400 billion. 4 million of us would get, let's see, umm, $100,000. Hey, that's not enough! Maybe they could try Fiji. They need the work and I think $400 billion would swing it easily. Or, they could just rent some space here. We have frequent flights back to Japan for the homesick. We have lots of bedmakers and cleaners to do the hard work. They have also chosen option d, the robots, to make the cars and stuff which is their primary income. They could be like me. Own the capital assets overseas, get the income sent here, hire the local yokels to provide dinner and live happily ever after. Actually, there must be a few of them doing that because I notice my favourite golf course is becoming inundated with Koreans and Japanese [the Koreans are getting here first and getting the best spots - the Japanese better hurry]. With green fees of NZ$20 [= US$8] the prices are laughable from a Japanese point of view. No tee times needed. Beautiful scenery. Mqurice
