  Went down to see the friendly gas peopl the other day. After I made it clear that I wasn't really in the mood to pay 650,000 little yennies for an oven, they relented and gave me the general lowdown on the kind of oven I need to get.

  The quote that John Drummond gave me for -shipping- a Coker Deluxe plus an extra tire and tube came to roughly 21,600 yen. […] That's halfway around the world -to my front door-... but it's one of the reasons I have to spend a little more time saving my yennies before I can get a Coker.

  All my yennies went to donations at the thousands of shrines I visited during my trip. I lightened my pockets and recieved sweet sweet Karma in return. Or something like that.

  Ugh. I hate yennies. I get rid of them by donating them to the little boxes at the conbini tills, giving them to my kids, or by telling a Japanese person I'm going to throw them away, then they pounce on them like it's the Great Depression.
  Yeah, i know they're money, but just barely.

  Or, when you can't pay exact, throw in a few yen so the change you get back is a bigger coin. If something is 107 I might pay 112 so I get a five yen instead of the three yennies I might get with a different configuration.
