A pen pal in Japan says the entire country is on an Olympics construction “bubble.”
Land costs, construction, labor are all up big time.

He had planned to put up a new office building but now says he'll postpone the project until after the Olympics.

He is the son of our neighborhood policeman back in the 1950s...

I also saw a story in Fortune by the Japanese tourist association saying they plan 50% of their tourist promotion for after the Olympics is held.
