Coming to you LIVE from a third straight week of Japanese business hotels comes me, Justin, in his enduring quest to figure out how to exchange currency for real estate in the land of the rising fun.

Recommend me your favorite show or video game at [email protected] and I will either play/watch it or lie and say I did. Thanks!
