Real time – Friday July 16 0619
Getting cash is a problem for every visitor to Japan. And in Japan cash is important – because almost no one takes credit cards. I have been able to pay for our hotels by credit card. But that is all. And yesterday my go-to card for cash was rejected twice by the heretofore faithful Post Office Bank ATM. So today, in we’ll have to keep an eye out for a 7/11 ATM – because the Post Office and 7/11’s are the only ATMs that will even consider giving foreigners money. It isn’t just Americans. It is Canadians and Europeans too.
Yesterday, while the teenage person visited The International Manga Museum, I sat out side and drank beer with a couple of nice boys from Netherlands. First topic: the rains. Second topic: where to get money.
And, from yesterday’s cultural visit.
Goodness the sun is shining…
