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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

But if all else fails, you can always charge your icy card at a train station on Jan.

For only a month I managed to save up 190 points which turned into 190 yen which is almost enough for me.

What is your preferred method of payment in your country?

And today I have a really important confession to make.
