hey guys how's it going my name is
Michaela and I have a bit of a problem
recently when I'm out with friends I
Drive them crazy with the fact that I'm
completely unorganized
I'm always the only one who has to buy a
ticket for the train and I'm also one of
those huge jerks who holds up huge lines
on a cash register just so I can pay for
things an exact change and what do we
got in here it was like a ring 64
gigabyte SD card not only that but I
have hoard receipts like a packrat
I just can't throw them away cuz I keep
thinking I'm gonna need them for
something
if this wallet is a reflection of my
life and I'm a complete mess thankfully
in Japan electronic money transfers are
becoming more of a frequent thing and
they are becoming more convenient by the
day doo doo ah Jan new MOCA originally
designed just for transportation IC
cards are becoming a more widely
accepted form of payment all over Japan
to apply for one is simple and only
takes a few seconds unlike cash cards
which are usually applied for through
the bank IC cards can be obtained at
your local train station for a small fee
once you've put some money on your IC
card you're free to use it wherever IC
cards are accepted as a form of payment
for me that meant I could go shopping
almost immediately
Oh beep
I see parts were originally designed for
transportation with each company
operating privately but now I see cards
from any region of Japan or widely
accepted across the country that means I
can use my Fukuoka base omocha card even
the paid the train fare in Tokyo
recently even taxi companies allow IC
cards as a method of payment on simple
math on it too much stuff but wait what
happens when you run out of money
luckily charging an IC card is super
convenient in Japan as well a lot of
people don't know this but you can
actually charge your IC card at a
convenience store for new Moka I use
lawsuit you might even come across one
of these IC card charging machines but
if all else fails you can always charge
your IC card at a train station
Jen and after using my new mocha card
for only a month I managed to save up
190 points which turned into 190 yen
which is almost enough for me to take
the train back home it definitely helps
keep things a little more organized yes
I won't be needing these anymore what is
your preferred method of payment in your
country you prefer cash or you prefer to
keep things on cards let me know in the
comments see you later bye
my name is Micaela and today I have a
really important confession to make I am
