Normally, money would be sent overseas by international wire transfer. A wire transfer requires a receiving bank account, which means that you need to open a bank account in Japan. A second way for you to get your money is to have it deposited in your bank account at home. You just go to the post office and take your money out in Japanese yen from the ATM. I can't imagine you bringing ten months worth of cash and holding onto it for the whole ten months in your possession. So either way, you're going to have a bank account. It would be slightly more convenient to have a Japanese bank account.<a href="http://www.bigjobtools.com/srch/srch.php?q=water+pumps"> Leftcoast USA</a> It sounds like you aren’t fully sure yourself how your parents will be sending you your money.

If it's the U.S. almost any bank can change it. We had a homestay student from Australia recently though, and she had to go to one of the larger bank offices to exchange Aus$.<a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/online-degree/major-education-schools.htm"> threedaypriest</a> You don’t mention where you are from.
