I think that only happens in Japan though. Is there some way that you can get the money back though?! How much money (in $US) would be 525 Yen?? So, I saw the video, very cool!! I bet you feel sooo much comfortable now! Ok my guess would be...that thing calculates how much time it will take for something to get cooked AND also set up the right temperature for anything. Like if you set it up to "scrambled eggs" it will know that it takes a certain amount of time AND temperature. (...) ok I have no idea, what is it for?!?! Glad to see you and Ayako are doing well though, despite the money issue! Talk to you later :) Haha ah, sorry to hear about the bank, that sucks!! I think that only happens in Japan though.

Maybe japan is more interested in charging for banking as a service as opposed to a private venture. "Be privelaged we let you deposit your money at all, otherwise you wouldn't get to pay for anything unless you use cash." I'm going to guess that thing is something in a video. ( you kind of gave it away, so I'll opt out of this one, in the hope that you'll see my good deed and send me something anyways). 5 bucks for giving them money.
