Japan: foreign money to return home
Japan and 'probably one of the Asian countries that has most affected by the crisis, given its dependence on both econmia to export (to the U.S. el Europe), which from its dependence on what it consumes.
With a number of requests for unemployment benefits increased by 11 times compared to the year just past, 2008, the current Japanese government announced a measure to repatriation of foreigners who decide to return to their country, taking charge of expenditure for the return ticket. However, these
" foreigners ", Peruvians and Brazilians are foreigners so to speak. Descendants of Japanese in the last century, driven by poverty 'immigrated to Peru and Brazil to work in coffee plantations, came in Japan thanks to the measures adopted in the 90 by the government to promote the return of their former homeland citizens. Thanks to the work visa, which the government offered, more than three hundred thousand Nippo-Brazilians returned to Japan, but not knowing the Japanese language, the majority of job opportunities and career were prohibited and the quetsi occoupare those immigrants came to work the Japanese do not want to do, in assembly lines of major car manufacturers such as Honda and Toyota. And as usual when an outbreak a crisis, even in this case with a financial crisis which have not yet seen the end, and 'the most vulnerable to be affected.
Personally, I wonder if the craze in Japan want to dehumanize his company will not be affected by the economic crisis. Perhaps these ubiquitous machines will be replacement of small shops, the Chinese, to give a job to this wave of new unemployed.

DESCOVERY # 1: Miroslav Tichy
Go around the Art Gallery of Sydney, in a wonderful little library and shop, I have found a book about an extraordinary artist: Miroslav Tichy
( from His website)
After studying at the Academy of Arts in Prague, Miroslav Tichy (born
1926) withdrew to a life in isolation in his hometown of Kyjov,
Moravia, Czech Republic
From the end of the 1960s he began to take photographs mainly of local
women, in part with cameras he made by hand.
He later mounted them on hand-made frames, added finishing
touches in pencil, and thus moved them from photography in the
direction of drawing. The result is works of strikingly unusual
formal qualities, which disregard the rules of conventional
photography.
They constitute a large oeuvre of poetic, dreamlike
views of feminine beauty in a small town under the Czechoslovak
Communist régime.
