Dear !*SALUTATION*! !*LAST_NAME*!
Feel more mature today?...;-)
Yesterday we celebrated the "Coming-of-Age Day" in Japan. Of course this was primarily and occasion for those who turn 20 this year to celebrate, among other things, that they could now buy alchohol..., which, as we could read in the papers, they took the opportunity to consume in too large quantities in some cases.
Maybe our resolution for "Coming of Age" would be to drink a bit less...

Sour note for euro
The second honeymoon week with the euro was marred slightly by a series of embarrassments for Setec, the firm that prints the bank notes for Finland.
A number of 500 euro notes appeared with missing or incomplete hologrammes, forcing Setec and the Bank of Finland to check the 2 million of them still in their possession individually, but 106, 000 were already in circulation. Collectors were reportedly offering three times face value for such notes.
Then a number of 20 euro notes turned up without a special identification stripe, earning Setec a rebuke from PM Paavo Lipponen.
