Discovering Hidden Gems: Michiru Sawano’s Unforgettable British Adventure Continues

◆Battle over bank account #6

A male Nat West bank employee listened to me, nodding slightly, as I tried to open a bank account here.

It felt more like I was dealing with a child who had wandered into the wrong place than with a customer, but I was grateful that they took the time to listen to me!

And of course I have to put Bob’s teachings into practice.

Don’t think at all in Japanese.

Understand what you hear in English without translating it into Japanese, and speak in English straight away without thinking in Japanese.

Although I keep telling myself this, it is still not easy.

Well, I can’t help but wonder how to say this phrase in Japanese in English, but ki is heart!

Even if you can’t make it perfect, just keeping an eye on it will make a difference.

“Other banks have turned me down for various reasons, such as not having a proper address in this country, not being accepted as an international student, or the length of stay being too short.”

When I confessed this to him honestly, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “I see?” He asked me to wait a moment, and quickly walked into his office, which was separated by a glass frame and a wooden frame.

He walks toward the back of the office, visible through the glass.

What’s there is a desk that’s a little nicer than the others. The person sitting is an older man.

Maybe that person is a branch manager or something…or at least the boss of the banker who dealt with me.

He seems to be talking to his boss about the situation and asking for instructions, and his boss also seems to be taking out a binder from his desk drawer and looking into it.

I stood by the wall and waited patiently so as not to disturb other customers.

Ha, my heart is pounding.
