Also, with the yen weakening to the 111 yen range against the dollar, I temporarily converted 35,000 USD back to yen.
Previously, I was converting dollars at about 108 yen on average, so I gained about 120,000 yen in foreign exchange gains.
In periods with ample purchasing power, this is modest but effective. (Tari-Tari CEOThank you as always)
