10000Yen note

Time is getting closer to my Tokyo trip so some money exchange has to be done. Japan is a cash country (wonder why), a lot of shops do take credit cards now but cash is still a preferred payment method. You get discounts paying by cash (if it's a big sum, of course). Wonder if it's due to economy bubble burst phobia.

Anyway, exchange about 100000 Yen for my 9 days trip and got 10*10000 Yen notes (was hoping to get a big stack of money :s). Felt like I'm rich all of a sudden with big sum of cash but the truth is, I'd probably have to fasten my belt tighter after the trip, hehe... Looking forward to it (the trip, not the tighten belt part though) :p
