my debit card doesn't work. it will not get money out of ATMs for me. i have tried 3. and i called my bank before i left to tell them i'd be traveling and not to block my card in other countries, just like i've done in the past. I DID ALL THE RIGHT THINGS. AND NOW I AM HERE AND IT IS BLOCKED. grrrrr. i have my credit card, though, and i'm really really thankful that other claire is here, because i might be freaking out if she wasn't - she is buying those small things that cash is needed for. i emailed my bank a couple hours ago (no response) and i'll call them tomorrow, but seriously folks: i'm not pleased.
in other other news, other claire did NOT call her bank, and her card works. wtf folks. wtf.
Ah, the joys of travel! I just met up with a friend who has been studying abroad and she had many similar, not-funny-at-the-time stories, but in a few months, just think how hilarious this will be:)
