Can I just say I'm proud of myself? I went to the bank and got out money AND talked to the teller and got them to print my routing number on my bank book. I also paid off the outstanding balance on my Toshima insurance at the combini and the entire year's worth of Nishi Tokyo Insurance at city hall. Then I went all the way to Shinagawa's ( Read more... )
