      Shopping and other activities involving amounts<\/h2>\n

      All the work we did in this chapter to learn how to use numbers, count, and compare amounts will come in handy when dealing with money in Japan. If you are planning to visit Japan, you’ll be able to get a lot of practice for this chapter by shopping, dining, and generally getting around.<\/p>\n

      Yen, the Japanese currency, is roughly equivalent to a penny so 100 yen is around one US dollar.<\/p>\n
