San Francisco
Today, Morita and several other Japanese and American officials went to the San Franciscan Mint. Apparently, with the recent discovery of gold, San Francisco now has the highest supply in the world. So high, in fact, that the world's gold prices are plummeting as a result of the amount of gold that is being mined out of the area around here. I believe that I can speak for myself and the other members of this expedition when I say that this is quite a pleasant surprise. Once again, I must say, that the amount of gold being extracted from the mountains in this region is quite shocking, in a positive way.
I agree that it is a pleasant surprise
