Yeah, I've had a hard time in the past getting 
cash ready for me to go off to Japan.  Every 
bank I went to didn't deal in foreign currency.  
Some lady told us to try the airport or at a 
travel agency sort of joint like AAA, but 
neither of those places actually did, we found 
out... so eventually we tried at 5/3 Bank and 
they were able to "send" for the Japanese Yen, 
since they didn't have any there.  lol  So it 
took about a week for it to get mailed to us at 
the bank.  It cost around $5 to do all of this, 
I think, too.
