postscript

another thing I wanted to say is that the banking system here is very archaic! Everything is done on paper. There are no computer systems at the banks that I could see. I was observing the tellers and staff behind the counters while waiting there today and the teeming mass of worker ants in the background had their heads in filing cabinets. One can't even get a cheque book here!! The ATMs close, ie they are switched off, at weekends and after 9 or 10pm every day!!! Switched off. What would the Wallace do if she couldn't get more money after running out in the Raven???

Also, when I was at the Ward Office today collecting my Gaijin card, there was not one computer to be seen, they just went to filing cabinets and retrieved the data that way...for a technologically advanced race, they are light years behind in certain aspects...end of rant
