I was recently in Okinawa, Japan, and found the people there are very friendly and nice. One problem is that most of them do not speak English. On my first morning I spent the whole time looking for a person who could tell me in English, where I can find a bank. I had to exchange my dollars for Japanese yen.
In the area where I lived, I visited a grocery store, ran through the streets, and eventually found a small police station outside Kadena Air Base.They did not understand English, but they had a map. I said I was looking for a bank, and she said: "Ginkou." I thought she said: "banko." So I said "yes, yes!" You have my thanks to a bank directly.
If it is now difficult to discuss the situation of a bank to imagine how difficult it is for a U.S. soldier or the woman spoke, a car mechanic for repairing her car. Luckily, I know of 2 U.S. mechanics, the retired military personnel live and work in Okinawa in the vicinity ofKadena Air Base. I saw firsthand the relief on the faces of the clients to drop off or pick up their cars came.
