Re: [94attendees] walking-around cash suggestion?

Hi,

In my rough expectation in Yokohama is under 10,000 yen/day
for a day having dinner in ordinal restaurant.

  For bus or train:
   - Approximately 3,000 charged SUICA/PASMO card will be
     good for a week if you use bus or train everyday.

   ## SUICA or PASMO can be used in convenient stores such as
   ## Lawson, Thanks, Seven-Eleven, FamilyMart etc.

  For lunch:
   - Over 2,000 yen for lunch in hotels, restaurants
     near the venue or Yokohama Chinatown.
   - 1,000 yen for a set in ordinary restaurant or
     buying something to go in a market.

  For drinks:
   - From 300 to 600 yen in starbucks
   - 120 yen with many of vending machines

  For dinner:
   - Over 2,000 yen even when you do not drink alcohol in
     restaurant.
   - Approximately 5,000 (per person) for dinner in ordinal
     restaurant with alcohol.
