The most unusual, however, were the sand baths of Kyushu in southern Japan. Here, dressed in a cotton robe, I lay face up on a gently steaming beach while an attendant covered me in a hot, heavy cocoon of sand, leaving just my turbaned head beneath a jaunty sun-shade. Being steamed for 10 minutes at 50C left me feeling deliciously light headed.Getting thereANA, British Airways, JAL and Virgin have daily flights from London direct to Tokyo.

NEXT WEEKEND, up to half a million partygoers in fancy dress will be rampaging through the streets of a certain Catholic city. On the preceding Thursday, women with scissors will already have cut off the ties of thousands of men in the street Brazil? Spain? Wrong Germany.

They say the people in Cologne are the friendliest in Germany When I was there last week, everyone said it. The ruddy, jolly, ash-mustachioed taxi driver said it as he chatted in a delightful mix of tongues – German, Dutch, English, French.
The woman at reception who showed me to my room, with its view of the spires of the massive cathedral, said it. I replied that she was paid to do so and she looked at me through a fringe of straight blonde hair, wearing an expression of genuine hurt, and said she would never say something she didn’t believe. I apologised.The man walking his dog on the footbridge across the Rhine, his oilskin shiny from the rain, his pipe damp and unlit, his Jack Russell looking at me contentedly, also said it. I had asked him for directions to the beerhall I was visiting, and he told me that once I’d been there five minutes, I’d have made five new friends.The Paffgen beerhall was vast inside and dimly lit, the air crowded with the sound of 300 people talking and laughing.

Under Stock Exchange rules an industry grouping has to account for at least 0.5 per cent of the value of the FT All-Share Index.. In an unmistakable signal that Wall Street has already priced in an interest rate increase widely expected from a meeting of the US Federal Reserve today, the Dow Jones industrial average soared 100 points last night. The unexpected devil-may-care mood ahead of the Fed meeting took hold only in the last hour of trading when the industrial average surged.
Earlier in the day, it had hovered around the unchanged mark. Most economists expect the Fed Open Market Committee to agree a quarter-point interest hike at its monthly meeting in Washington.The increase would represent the first tightening of monetary policy – indeed, the first change in interest rate policy of any kind – by the Fed in 15 months. The fizz on the Dow contrasted, however, with a rocky day on the Nasdaq, which slipped an ominous 11.43 points in what appeared to be a continuation of the fragility shown by most hi-tech stocks through last week.Attention was focused on Microsoft which saw an almost 5 per cent drop in its stock value following news that it would not deliver an updated version of its super-popular Windows 95 system until after this year’s Christmas shopping season.The troubles at Microsoft had a ripple effect on several other tech stocks as traders worried about the consequences for the broader computer sector.Commenting on the Nasdaq’s decline, Tony O’Brien of AG Edwards said: “The correction started in stocks which were fundamentally defective or deficient and then moved into small-caps and mid-caps.”Now you are correcting the big boys.”.

Further lubricating the recent downhill run of hi-tech stocks in New York, shares in Microsoft took a severe tumble yesterday following reports that its revised version of its Windows 95 operating system might be late in coming to the shops. Apparently reacting to fears that the new Windows 95 would not be available until after the next Christmas shipping season, Microsoft saw its shares fall by more than 5 per cent in New York trading.
The deterioration in Microsoft’s short-term prospects delivered another blow to the already fragile hi-tech sector. By midday yesterday, the technology-heavy Nasdaq exchange was down a significant 15 points.Although the Nasdaq had been slipping through several trading sessions, Microsoft’s troubles threatened a ripple effect with investors fearing negative consequencies for the wider computer sector. Among stocks that were also hit yesterday were Intel, Hewlett Packard, Dell and IBM.At lunch Microsoft was down $41/2 to $891/2, leaving the company’s stock at its lowest level since January. Microsoft was also the heaviest-traded stock on already nervous Nasdaq.The decline in the Nasdaq added to wider unease on Wall Street as investors awaited today’s meeting of the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee.

There is general anticipation that Fed chairman Alan Greenspan will finally nudge the committee to increase interest rates in the United States for the first time in 15 months. Even so, the expected tightening in monetary conditions had apparently been priced into most stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average which, after fairly strong early gains, was hovering around the unchanged mark.. Economy A is growing faster than its sustainable trend, unemployment is at its lowest for years and pay inflation is creeping up. The financial markets have been prepared to expect a small increase in interest rates that will allow the recovery to continue without being blown off course by rising inflation. The authorities are steering a delicate course between boom and bust, so far very successfully. Economy B is also growing at a pace above trend, has rapidly falling unemployment and rising wage inflation.

However, a rise in interest rates would be greeted with utter astonishment. For economy A is, of course, the US, nicely the right side of the presidential elections, and economy B is the UK in the heat of the longest election campaign this century. In the US the Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has signalled the likelihood of a rise in Federal Funds rates after today’s Open Market Committee meeting.
On this side of the Atlantic, the Government has given up all pretence of modest economic recovery. “Britain is Booming,” announces the latest mailshot from Conservative Central Office. Ken Clarke insists this is a wonder-boom that will not be followed by bust later – he has found a miracle cure for the ups and downs of the economic cycle that has somehow escaped the notice of Mr Greenspan.The British economy almost certainly is in better shape than for a long time.

Yesterday’s balance of payments figures were much improved compared with the same stage of the last economic cycle, in the late 1980s. The pay-off for these genuine improvements is that interest rates should not need to rise as much as they would have in the past. But the fact that it ought to be easier to keep the economy on a steady course does not mean the Chancellor can get away without touching the brakes at all. Today’s expected interest rate move by the Fed, a classic “stitch-in-time” policy of the sort the Bank of England would love to follow, will highlight the risks the Government is taking with the British economy.Wallace digs in for long haul at CWCIn his former life Graham Wallace, the new chief exec at Cable & Wireless Communications (CWC), used to run Granada’s motorway service stations. He therefore knows a thing or two about squeezing the last drop out of a captive market. Now that Granada is facing competition again, having been forced to sell off Welcome Break, it is giving away Burger King Whopper Meals for 1p but that’s life in the fast-food lane.The challenge facing Mr Wallace at CWC, the great white hope of the cable telephony industry, is altogether different It does not possess a monopoly or anything like it.

But the culprits and those who assisted them can still be brought to justice Elan Steinberg will see to that.. A large part of it lies in vaults under the pavements of Zurich.” The Russians always believed that, just as they believed in the Odessa. The Allies claimed both were a fiction but Mr Steinberg says they had their reasons: “I’m shocked by the Safe Haven materials but not surprised. The Allies protected war criminals like Klaus Barbie after Hitler fell because of the war that followed, the Cold War. Given that, why wouldn’t they protect Nazi assets?”The report of the Volcker Joint Commission will be awaited with anxiety by all banks and companies named in Safe Haven files.

New York City will take its investments away from Switzerland. The country’s economy will be outcast, like South Africa under apartheid.”In the film The Odessa File, the famed Nazi hunter Simon Weisenthal says: “The SS smuggled out most of their gold and art treasures just before Germany collapsed. The WJC expects the commission, under the former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker, to conduct a serious investigation of Swiss records for the first time.”The Senate has taken an interest. They will suspend Swiss banking licences in the US if we do not get satisfaction. A joint commission with the WJC to follow the Safe Haven paper trail began work just two weeks ago.

It has full police powers, and was guaranteed unfettered access. “Their aid to the enemy in the banking field was clearly beyond the obligations under which a neutral must continue trade with a belligerent, and was dictated by the profit motive of the Swiss banks.”No bank will comment on the Safe Haven documents, which does not surprise Mr Steinberg – the Swiss, he says, are still trying to hide assets stolen by Nazis. “The Swiss have given a tremendous amount of assistance to the enemy,” writes an official of the US Foreign Economic Administration in January 1945. These include a self-portrait by Van Gogh, along with works by Cezanne and Rembrandt. Many of these masterpieces are still missing, with trails that seem to lead straight to Swiss bank vaults.The Allied agents who collected information for Safe Haven can find nothing but contempt for Swiss bankers. There is no honour even among thieves.”Safe Haven also has documents which identify art treasures stolen by Hermann Goering. The Allies agreed to split other German assets held in Switzerland 50/50 with the Swiss government.”What did the Allies do with that $60m?” asks Mr Steinberg.
