Weak Yen 6/22/2022

My dad called me in the evening. He said he would like to send me some money for this years’ gift money. I thanked him but asked him to wait until autumn. The current exchange rate is not great to receive JPY to USD. The exchange rate of last year around this time was 109 JPY for 1 USD while the current rate is 137 JPY for 1 USD. I honestly don’t feel like visiting Japan at this moment. It seems to be still hectic to travel abroad. I want to wait until next year or the following next year when everything calms down.
