All you can eat OPI

Impulse Japan is offering a monthly fixed rate of ¥10,500 providing all you can eat OPI to registrants. The literature tells that Impulse has already been providing OPI to restaurants, hotels and other touristic locations where foreigners gather. Asakusa is cited as one such example. They make interpreters work round the clock to deliver between Japanese and Chinese, Korean and English. Of course, as a majority of their tourist users are probably light users, especially during off times for restaurants and in the middle of the night, Impulse has only to work hard to sell the idea. After all, it is cheap enough to by an excellent sushi meal for two, beverage excluded. I hardly believe this will generate more business for more interpreters. In too many mundane situations when selecting food or asking for salt or a timetable of trains to Narita, a few hands and fingers flying in the air with added onomatopoeia should suffice a it does everywhere else on Planet Earth. But Japan being a different planet ... blah, blah, blah.
