Interesting Japanese payment

[aiki14]

When you do work here it is customary to be paid in cash. I don't think checks are used for anything. It makes for an interesting situation in that since we are paid in advance, we have more cash than I would ever have in hand in the states, and we have to get it home in either yen or USD. Much as I hate to be a cheat, it's nice not to declare it as income if we don't have to.
Here's an interesting pic.

Glad you're doing great business over there, hope you're enjoying all the sights!

I just looked up the conversion from yen to USD...didn't know it off the top of my head...but wow,
that's quite a handful you got there...around $14.3k USD.

One might also assume that being mugged is a high possibility given the payment programs ?

If you don't mind my asking, what do you do? A consultant of some sort?
