Pay day in Japan!

YES! Pay day is FINALLY HERE. Oh, most people in Japan only get paid once a month-myself included. Which is kind of cool, but it encourages you to make big purchases. What sucks about today is that the lines at the bank machines are going to be huge.

Japanese bank machines. (shudder)

Why does anyone like them so much? Or even like them a little? Cause they do what banks don't; they stay open late. So at three in the morning when you're stumbling around you can take out some cash and catch a cab to anywhere.

Then please tell me why Japanese bank machines close. Maybe they hire itty-bitty Filipinos to hide inside, and they need to go home to their itty-bitty families. After about 10 o'clock, the bank machines won't give you money anymore. Well, I gotta go watch about 15 housewives update their bankbooks in front of me.

peace and oatmeal. (that's for dan)
