Hey, guys, how's it going?
-
My name is Michaela, and I have a bit of a problem.
-
Recently, when I'm out with friends, I drive them crazy with the fact that I'm completely unorganized.
-
I'm always the only one who has to buy a ticket for the train.
-
And I'm also one of those huge jerks who holds up huge lines on a cash register just so I can pay for things.
-
An exact change.
-
And what have we got in here?
-
It was like a ring 64 gigabyte SD card.
-
Not only that, but I hoard receipts like a pack rat.
-
I just can't throw them away because I keep thinking I'm gonna need them for something.
-
If this wallet is a reflection of my life, then I'm a complete mess.
-
Thankfully, in Japan, electronic money transfers are becoming more of a frequent thing, and they're becoming more convenient by the day.
-
Due to our Gen.
-
Nii mocha, originally designed just for transportation, I see cards are becoming a more widely accepted form of payment all over Japan.
-
To apply for one is simple and only takes a few seconds.
-
Unlike cash cards, which are usually applied for through the bank.
-
I see cards could be obtained at your local train station for a small fee.
-
Once you put some money on your I see card, you're free to use it.
-
Wherever I see, cards are accepted as a form of payment.
-
For me, that meant I could go shopping almost immediately.
-
E don't have any socks.
-
What beef e can't label.
-
I see cards were originally designed for transportation, with each company operating privately.
-
But now I see cards from any region of Japan are widely accepted across the country.
-
That means I can use my Fukuoka based Nemo CA card even to pay for train fare in Tokyo recently.
-
Even taxi companies allow I see cards as a method of payment.
-
Okay, you could help with this.
-
You focus on the bottom on it.
-
You must stop.
-
But wait.
-
What happens when you run out of money?
-
Luckily, charging and I see card is super convenient in Japan as well.
-
Ah, lot of people don't know this, but you can actually charge your I see card at a convenience store for knee mocha.
-
I use Lawson.
-
You might even come across one of these.
-
I see card charging machines.
-
But if all else fails, you can always charge your icy card at a train station on Jan.
-
After using my name OK card.
-
For only a month I managed to save up 190 points which turned into 190 yen which is almost enough for me.
-
Thio, take the train back home.
-
It definitely helps.
-
Keep things a little more organized.
-
Yes, I won't be needing these anymore.
-
What is your preferred method of payment in your country?
-
Do you prefer cash?
-
And you prefer to keep things on cards?
-
Let me know in the comments.
-
See you later.
-
Bye.
-
My name is Michaela.
-
And today I have a really important confession to make.
-
I I am in.
