In the last few days I've gone to Kokusai street, which is Naha's main street, with all of the students in my class. Kokusai street is very unusual. There's gay dancers, goths, pig heads with sun glasses, and just about every store you can imagine. First, we all went to McDonalds (first time I've been there), which in Japanese is pronounced Mac-a-do-na-do. I tried to buy food with my Visa but they don't take Visa, so one of my friends paid for me. After we left, we tried to go to an ATM so I could pay my friend back. We found one, and I put my card in and just made a loud beep and spit my card right back out. We tried a few more times and nothing worked, so we went to countless different ATMs and none of them worked either. But, for the rest of the night we looked around in a music store, which had half American and Japanese music. Yesterday, my mom took me to an ATM store and we waited for thirty minutes, and all they could tell us is the only ATM in Okinawa that could take my Visa card is at the post office 20 minutes away! So when I finally got there and could finally get money, I got like 350 dollars. Last that is that we had GREEN TEA ICE CREAM and it is delicious!

Sorry about all the problems with the international Visa card. They promised you could use it anywhere. How are you handling the yen? Do you understand how you use it?
