What will 2020 bring?

The year 2020 is finally upon us! A new decade also begins! It feels as if the past decade went by very fast, let alone 2019 doesn't it? We wonder what the 2010's will best be remembered for as we move into this new decade. 

2020 also brings with it the Tokyo Olympics this summer. Many are excited for the events but many of Tokyo's residents are worried that the already over capacity public transport system won't be able to cope with the mega influx of people coming to watch the games. Japan being very hot and humid in the Summer we also wonder how these far from ideal weather conditions will affect the games. We can only wait and see how it pans out. Will we see a rise in foreigners coming to Japan to work after the games too? The under-saturated labour market certainly hopes so.  

There have also been concerns about dating important documents. Many have warned that if you abbreviate the date as "20" instead of "2020" then it will be easy to forge and change the year, for example writing "18" at the end and it being changed to "2018". Just something we may want to keep in mind!

With all the interesting new things and new challenges this decade is sure to bring we at Roocas One wish you a very Happy New Year and we hope happiness finds you all! Here's to the new roaring 20's!
