Exploring payment habits in the land of the rising sun. Taking a look at how people pay for goods & services, the role of culture, and the impact of technology.
Thanks for the interesting story. One thing I like about Japan is diversity. For instance, now everybody owns a mobile, but thankfully you can still find many telephones boxes around town (probably because in case of a big earthquake, mobiles become useless).
Same thing with payment. Call me old-fashioned (or worse, if you prefer) but I still prefer cash. I just hate it when they try to force people to adopt a new technology. I want to be free to choose.
