banking error, Japan style

Tokyo, 2010.05.31

Being illiterate sucks. I went to the bank today to pay some bills. I spent ninety minutes at it and .. failed.

One of the funny mistakes I made that sabotaged the smaller transfer was mistranscribing one katakana in place of another. Instead of "コ" I wrote "ユ". That's all it takes. For some reason you need the name of the account holder when doing a domestic bank transfer in this country, and you have to know the way they wrote their name exactly, including whether they used kanji or katakana.

The way you write science fiction is: you sit down at your writing machine and you open your mind to the first thought that comes through. My first thought was always a cigarette.
