People use the passmo cards without any trouble (and actually like them). So the excuse that people like cash is silly. Besides you should be able to get cash from an ATM just about any time. I bet it is a union thing. You would eliminate a lot of jobs if people didn't actually have to go to a bank to bank. You would get more competition on the services offered.
I changed money in Kyoto at a major bank. It took 45 minutes. They had to fill out a form to convert from dollars to Yen. Then I didn't want all large bills so I had to fill out a different form.

They aren't doing research. Point to one published research paper. None Nada, as we know it is a bunch of malarkey. The IWC should just change the "research" rules to state that all animals killed for research must be tossed back into the sea. After all it is just research, there is no need to put the meat into cans.
