Alright, so I'm going to go pay my rent today. Today is the 1st of the month. It's December 1st. It's really cold today. My rent is 45,000 yen. That's about 500 US dollars. I'll show you what it looks like here. So, these are 10,000 yen notes, so that's ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand and this is a five thousand yen note right here, okay, so that's 45,000 yen.

So here in Japan we use like the postal system. We can use the postal system as a bank. There are ATM's at the post office. So I keep some money there and I just pay my landlord directly by depositing money directly into her postal account. Anyways, I'm going to go pay my rent at the post office now.

Okay, so I'm going outside now.

Gas man.

Alright, yeah, the post office is really close to my house. I'm just going to cut through a little tiny ally here. Look how narrow this road is here. Isn't that cool. Only in Japan.

Okay, I'm almost at the post office. Nothing is going to draw more attention than a big white gaijin holding a camera in your face.

This is where I have to pay my rent.
