I really don't see how you pull that off Nyororin and reading your account makes me wonder where all my money goes other than snowboarding and beer. I can't even afford beer anymore either, but I do send a lot home to pay for student loans.

I am beginning to understand just how spoiled English teachers are in Japan!

Anyways, I have a question. Does the Suica cards save people money or do they simply allow faster in and out of stations since you don't stop every time to buy your tickets?
