I need to convert a load of money to yen so I can drop a deposit on my room, pay one month's worth of rent, and eat/live in general until I get my first paycheck.

It's official: I'm teaching in Tokyo, living in Higashi Jujo, in a guest house with other English Teachers. Higashi Jujo is on the Keihintohoku Line, about 30 minutes from Shinjuku on an express train. Where is all of this in relation to anything?

I've been rationing the money in my checking account so tightly that I forgot to leave enough money until my next paycheck. As a result, I overdrew my account twice, was charged a fee, then refunded the fee. Twice. What the hell? Does WaMu really have free checking? I'm afraid to ask in case they made a mistake. And I'm frustrated that I ( Read more... )
