"Japan's $850 Xmas chook defies recession"
For those in Japan willing to splurge this Christmas despite a looming recession, a department store is offering truffle-stuffed roast chickens for 84,000 yen ($NZ1432.43) apiece.
errr....$850 is a little different to $1.4K. Unless they're talking about US dollars? If so, a little explaination wouldn't go astray...
But hey - confusion is how Stuff roll...
