Where's the best place to withdraw money from an overseas account in Japan?

When I first arrived in Japan in 2001, I had no idea how to get money out of my American bank account. I didn't have a special international card, but I assumed that I would be able to get money somewhere. This proved to be quite a mistakes as I spent several days being broke before I was able to solve my predicament.

Surf the Internet, In Japanese

Once I've gotten my web browser to display Japanese, how can I use my computer to help me read Japanese?

For those of us living in Japan, browsing the Internet in Japanese can mean more than just studying. Between the news in your area and e-mails from your Internet provider telling you that your bill is overdue, being able to read Japanese on the Internet can be very useful. The good thing is that you don't have to be a Japanese whiz kid to get a good idea about what most things say. As long as you have a basic understanding of Japanese grammar, you will be able to decipher most Japanese using online tools and dictionaries.
