ah! quick...!

Hey, I need to know how much money everyone is planning on bringing initially in terms of both traveler's cheques (I like that way better) and in terms of yen. Quick!


... thanks!

i donno i donno!! someone said $1000 was good, and i don't think i've thought about it enough to think about bringing yen too i donno i donno i donno T___T

1200, about 70/30 in traveler's cheques and cash. but i don't know about the yen bit. when's the best time to change currencies when you're in your own country or when you're in the other country?

I just brought cash.. in USD..... Not too smart I bet..

Hi from Seoul, Korea btw! Just arrived. If you have transfers, which it doesn't seem like you guys do since all of you are coming over together and was able to avoid taking United, DON"T LET THEM CHECK YOUR CARRY ON AT THE BOARDING GATE! -_- I am now carry-on-less and it had all my textbook/japanese stuff! T_T It's probably punishment for not having studied earlier -_-

natalie said...

Miaaaa T___T I'm sorry! I hope you get your carry-ons eventually!!! Systems suck!! I feel your pain.. my visa application is potentially lost in mail land..ahaaahahaa...ha... oh man T__T

I hope korea totally rocks! I kind of want to learn korean...

mia mia! you're in korea already? wheeeee! when will you be entering japan?

i hope you get your luggage back soon. stalk them for it!

oh yeah, i'm bringing yen with me. got it for a really horrid rate, but whatever, i have yen. yen is yen. i'm also taking like $500 in USD but i don't want to be carrying so much cash on me, ya know? gah!

Jen said...

I have 8000yen and a ton of coins from when I was there last, and wasn't planning on exchanging more here...

Ahh say hi to Seoul for me! I had so much fun there! It's terrible about the whole South Gate thing though... :(

Oh and I have $2000 traveler's cheques (yeah this way is much better) and I'll be bringing some cash as well.

Oy, Natalie, I forgot! We're not going to even NEED money with all of that modeling we're going to be doing XD

natalie said...

You got that daarned right Greg! I we both don't have modeling contracts by week 2, well, I think we should just leave. Japan obviously would be such a tasteless country that we wouldn't be able to stand it there any longer.

Jen said...

Whaaaaaat?!? Natalie, I thought we were gonna dance for a living! Also, is Best Dance Crew over?? I managed to watch an episode at the gym once and it was exciting! And I heard it was down to Jabba and Kaba...

natalie said...

Oh yeah! We're showing Japan how hip-hop is done! We could...dance down the runway, mwaahha!

There's still two eps left of dance show I think... tomorrow night it's down to Kaba, Jabba, and Status Quo. I think in the end it'll be Kaba and Jabba, but Kaba was in the bottom two last week, so who knows!! I'll have to watch the final ep online in Japan! Oooh and they've started doing opening numbers with all the crews, it's really sweet =)

we can practice our dance moves at the sleepover!!!

GUYYYYYYYYYYS

how do i get a banner to show up on my blog? i keep trying to get it uploaded and all i have is this random white blank space.

natalie said...

Ok I just went and got $1500 in traveler's checks.. although the lady didn't tell me not to date them, and the date was right next to the signature she told me to do, so I dated them and she was like "oh..you weren't supposed to date them.." so I think I'll try and get them cashed on the 28th so I can change all my 20's to 28's and none will be the wiser...

Plus I have 5000 yen that Nick gave me from his last visit! I'll probably carry some US cash as well.

Jen said...

Haha, I'll have to watch ALL the episodes online in Japan. And how clever about the date-changing ;)

Whee sleepover! Do you guys know when you'll be getting here/flight info?

And Teresa, I don't know what the problem is, I just did mine through editing the header page element and clicked it to replace the title and description and it worked... Keep trying? I guess you can check the size of your banner or something. /Shrug :/
