Hokkaido Kudasai: US Port Strike Felt in Japan

Friday, February 20, 2015

This week we heard that the West Coast Port Strike is costing billions of dollars a day. What a waste! I hope this can be straightened out soon.

When we went to the Big American Store we saw this sign around the store.

Gallon size Zip Lock bags were the only thing on our list this trip that were unavailable, but other things may have been more expensive.
