Ramsey - my general impression of the way things work in Japan is : any item or service, where there is no easy, direct substitution available, will seem (to those of us who are used to functioning in some semblance of a "market" economic system) ridiculously over-priced.

Have you ever read about how hard the Japanese fought to keep Toys 'R Us out of Japan?

Jon.
