Here is a brief history of Japan, for those that find it difficult to concentrate.

If you have an international lifestyle and often transfer money between currencies, you will be interested to know about Transferwise.

It is a company that allows to transfer money with the standard exchange rate, instead of the cheating one that banks use. They still make money by retaining a commission, but it works out much cheaper than a bank. It was started by the founder of another innovative company you may have heard of, Skype.

The way it works is that they never make a conversion, they keep multiple currencies from their users and transfer money between currencies when they have both available. It is still fast and well communicated.

They have mobile apps or a site. I successfully used them and it is a nice experience.

Try out for yourself. Signup from here and the first transfer is for free (and I get some money apparently).
