Bought £1,000 of Japanese yen (about ¥158,000), keeping a possible April Japan trip flexible by delaying airfare. With £50 in the bank, £100 cash, a £210 refund and £320 Universal Credit, Japan may be postponed to autumn. Living rurally without transport and facing few suitable jobs, he sees a £140 two-day TEFL course as a teaching pathway.
