I'm not sure if that's the correct set up for an analogy or whatever you call it but those two things are what this post is all about. Do not get an account at Citibank. They're downsizing because they're not doing so well financially and there are fees for opening accounts and every time you withdraw from one of their own ATMs in Japan they charge you 1% of the withdrawal. WTF. I don't know if this is uncommon but I rather just keep the two accounts I have now and not get a third.
As for the visa. Filing for your visa is super easy. Just bring all of the proper docs, hand it over and you're good to go. It was cool to run into you at the embassy Greg, I thought you'd have gotten there before me, but it's always good to see a familiar face.

JEN - Greg and I have switched our seats! If you would like to join us in the lovely aisle seat of 40G, please do! Or rather... please join us in the lovely aisle seat of 40G! Good times are sure to be had by all. But I expect you both to go bedding shopping with me... haha. Japan is full of department stores, right? Ne? Deshou?
Here's that bedding site I found btw..

I want the green ones.. to match my laptop, hohohohooo
I should really choose more conservative colors.. my bedding at school is hot orange/pink reversible.. But green is so trendyyy!!
I have to buy this bedding... I know it's the first one I saw, but... it's love at first sight, baby.
Ooh I can't wait to check out this site.
Ah yes, I shall change my seat. Sorry I've been somewhat MIA. 40G it will be then!
Aw man, I was still banking (no pun intended) on opening a Citibank account but based on Jeannette's analogy and info...
Gah! I don't know what to do! Go with another bank? But won't they also have fees and things?
DID YOU GET YOUR COE?!
Oh hey Jeannette...what banks do you have accounts with then? And do they not have crazy atm withdrawal fees in japan?
I'm thinking if not Citibank then, maybe I'll just go with SunTrust, since that's what everyone in my family has, and I know they don't charge a fee for opening an account and they have a checking account geared towards college students. darn atm fees though...
