I like the woman's takoyaki on the left....they look good encased in a black bra and leopard print.

Awwww senpai! I'm gonna miss you! I hope you have a wonderful trip! :woot: :kiss:

When I went I thought it was low at 1 to 105....but at 97 it's close to the all time low of 1 to 95 back in 1995.

Nuts. Yeah probably not the best time to travel abroad.

But it could be a good time for the Osaka yakuza to start buying up U.S. real estate again. :sweat: [/list:u]

Hmm, maybe that's who owns that house in the cul-de-sac down the street from me. :sweat:

greetings from Shinagawa, Tokyo. I exchange‚„ more than enough and the rate is close to 100Y - 1$.
I have been up for over 24hrs, and i think i am going to get some sleep soon and head out to Akiba tmrw. The weather is cool, cloud‚™

Whoa, you're there already???

I thought you were heading out in April...?

Have a great time... Maybe we can hook up when you get back and you can show me all your new pics and loot. :victory:

It's my fault. :shamefulcry: Every time I need to go somewhere abroad that happens. gomennasai. :puppydog:

I'm trying to buy lots of yen, but I emptied 3 change bureau already. I only have like 1000$. Looks like no one in Japan is crazy enough to come to this town. :sweat:

Haha.... 1000 Dollars worth of yen...that should hold you over for a while....a quick tip...when travelling for big ticket items or lodging expenses it's always best to use your credit card....why you ask? When you use your credit card you get the BANK'S rate on foreign exchange which is always better than the rate you can get at the money changing window which is always less favorable to travellers....and if you want to avoid the interest charges on your credit card...just pay it within the first 30 days of when it appears on your credit card statement.

Great. Thanks. :bow:

I didn't know that. I thought they would charge more. I need to pay cash at the onsen. Go figure. :sweat: That's why I was looking to get more money. I could always "buy" money with my credit card, at the airport.

I always fully pay my bills. I don't like spending more money than I have or owing people's money.
