My college english teacher (she has family in Japan) said it might be cheeper for me to just have about $300 cash converted in the Los Angeles airport during my layover, but thats sounded like both over kill and a huge safety problem. But I never thought to use my card, makes it alot easier and safer .

Thank you Konbini

I have just got back from Japan a few days ago.
People might enjoyed baked cookies as gifts.
However, from experience people accept small gifts easier than food.
But no one ever says no to Pocky.
I brought small gifts from Australia to give to my host family and others who were generous and helpful. In less than two weeks I ran out of Aussie gifts. People were generally very polite, generous and helpful.
