Money

I paid rent yesterday. It was 252,000 (~$2,470) which is more money than I’ve ever held at once, as far as I know. It’s enough to buy everything I own, and I just got a $1,400 camera system. Really, you’d be coming pretty close, but it’s still kind of astounding.

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, as it didn’t seem like a good idea to advertise both my location and that I had an unguarded pile of cash. Now, normally, you wouldn’t pull out $2,500 ahead of time and sit on it, but I can only pull out $300 each day with my ATM card, and I didn’t want to be caught off guard by something else and not be able to pay rent.

I now have a debit card, so it won’t be an issue anymore, but I felt somewhat obligated to take a picture of the money pile.

Astounding makes a great word here. I like the money pile picture. You're right...that had to be taken.

Actually, if you gave the 万 note guy a wig, I could sort of see him as a George...

I think they need mustaches, also.
