It's all good

So I finally got my money exchanged yesterday, I went to a large bank called Sumitomo in Nanba and it was so easy and fast. I guess the machine the other bank used was crap as I suspected. Today my mission was to find a way to send money home all by myself. I went to my local small branch and used horrendous Japanese to tell them what I wanted to do. Since they are such a small branch they don't do that so they directed me in some really broken English and Japanese to the main branch in Tennoji, which is about 5 stops on the train away. So I went to Tennoji, I was very happy because there is a huge mall outside of Tennoji station called The Hoop. It is really cool and there is even a Louis Vuitton store on the bottom! Anyway I finally found the bank after walking around for about 30 mins, it took a while to do but I finally sent money home without even knowing much Japanese. It was fun and my treat was to go to the Hoop to walk around. So now I'm at home hanging out, in a few hours I will head a couple blocks down the road and have a few drinks at the izakaya with some other foriegner friends of mine. Well I just wanted everyone to know everything is good, this place is quite crazy but things are possible if you try hard haha. :) talk to you soon, thanks for the comments everybody miss you all
