Exchanging money and transferring money costs money, so you want to do it as little as possible.

I used the word culture shock in that you told me there were thing(s) I would need to get used to; needing to get accustomed to multiple things that are foreign is a large part of culture shock.
However, I don't feel I'll experience culture shock in the conventional sense; language barrier, new foods, etc. I'm just not accustomed to how my money has to be handled.
Would you suggest I board the plane to Japan with a few thousand dollars in my pocket? I'm asking questions to those who have more experience than myself, seeing as how I've never stepped foot into the country.
