I brought about $2,000 US along with me for the China trip, exchanging one half of that at the airport in Osaka. The money was handed to me in sealed packets of ten 100 yuan bills - about $125 US.
Today at the Silk Market I opened one of those packets - one of the few remaining to me - and cleverly managed to rip the serial numbers off of the bills while I was at it. Counterfeiting is a huge problem in this country, and if one's 100 yuan bills are not in pristine condition, they won't be accepted.
I am now trying to sneak the ruined bills into larger purchases like the con artist they all think I am. Ahahaha.
That will be all.
