(Too lazy to switch journals for a few add'l notes)

- Current exchange rate for ease of conversion: $1.00 = 100 yen = 50 rubles
- Language on most major street signs: Japanese on top, English below
- Most street vendors are probably not going to have fantastic English, though they'll definitely be patient! (They certainly were with my jetlagged efforts to speak to them in Japanese with some random English.)

Was that the exchange rate in 2014, too?

The dollar-yen rates were about the same ($1=103 yen), though it looks like it might have been about 35 rubles to 100 yen. Good news for the Russians (Yuri in particular) at least.
