Going to Japan at a Wrong Time

December is just round the corner which means I am getting closer to my trip to Japan.

I have started looking at the rates offered by the money exchange in various places. OMG, 100 JPY at S$1.615. When I bought my air-tickets, the rate was 100 JPY = S$1.57.

How am I going to swallow this HUGE difference? And I need quite a lot of Japanese yen to cover my meals, entrance fees to some places of interest, travelling expenses and other misc expenses.

Am I going to Japan at the wrong time?

To complicate things further, J will be leaving for France and be back a day before our departure to Japan. I am unsure how he is going to cope with the jet-lag when we hop on to the plane to Japan.
