I Couldn’t Believe My Eyes!
When I was driving around Nagoya on Wednesday last week, I saw lines of cars waiting in the road near gas stations. I remembered the news report from the day before. The reporter said that the price of gasoline would go up. The price of one liter of gasoline was 150 yen at the gas station near my house. When I heard the news, I thought that a liter might go up 5 or 10 yen, but on Thursday, I couldn’t believe my eyes. One liter of gasoline was over 180 yen. The price went up about 20%! Now I understand why so many drivers were waiting in line to buy gasoline. (112 words) You can send me a comment or your own story at jaremaga@gmail.com
