The Banking Experience

I got paid yesterday (woohoo!). So since my Tuesday afternoons are free from 2-4 I decided to run some errands. First the post office to send some mail, then the bank to wire money home. The exchange rate isn't excellent right now (32.9NT = $1US), but it's better than when I first came (34NT = $1US). So after I finish at the "foreign exchange" counter I have to take a number and wait to be called to do the actual cash transaction. Since it was right after lunch I had about a 15 minute wait.

I always enjoy being in the bank because one of my favorite jobs was working at the bank in Wayne. Today as I was sitting there I noticed a bank person behind the counter looking at me once or twice. I didn't think much of it, just another "stare at the white girl" moment. Two minutes later, he was standing in the waiting area, which I found amusing, because after he said hello to another customer he came over to me and attempted an English conversation. It was cute and it didn't last long since he was obviously busy, but he was the bank manager, so I told him that I had worked at a bank in America. We both smiled and then he went back to work.

Just a small thing, but one of the little things you need everyday to keep you smiling!
