an English website. They don't scratch their heads when they see your middle name nor ask about your non-existent inkan. In short, they put more effort into capturing the niche foreigner-living-in-Japan market. The bigger banks don't really do that...

But the Internet would not work. Finally, after trying a non-virtio network driver, I realized virtio was the problem. In short, "Hardware Checksum Offloading" must be turned off in pfSense for virtio to work properly. Go to the System --> Advanced -->...

embarked for my hometown of Los Angeles. ANA's internet check-in was a godsend, and Narita's attached shopping paradise made short work of killing the mounds of spare time I inevitably allow myself. The most pertinent perk for me, though, was the...
