    I use 7/11 bank-i. It's the most convenient way for me as it's 7/11 ( as everyone knows it's a convenient store) anytime, anywhere;)

    I agree with Wagamama, 7&i Bank is a great way to transfer money (or get money) from your home country, and they have information, brochures and ATM services in many different languages. The fees are acceptable. If you don't like to use that service, Shinsei Bank has a pretty low fee, too. It's a really common bank for foreigners in Japan.

    You can try 7/11 Remittance, Western Union or you can inquire with your bank.

Is there a limit on daily posts?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of posts we can publish each day? The reason I ask is, yesterday I wrote more than 30 posts, but I realized last night that at least the last two I wrote, have disappeared. They definitely published, but then disappeared a few minutes later. One was about a Santa in Nagoya, the other about Santa in Tamadairanomori. There maybe more but those two are definitely missing.

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.
