Pacific Rim

There's a binational bilingual ATM on base that I use. It takes both American and Japanese bank cards, dispenses both yen and dollars, and speaks Japanese and English.

The voice in Japanese speaks in a very polite and formal mode, a woman with a Tokyo accent. The English voice is also female and polite... and very Australian. I wish I could tape record it for you all to hear, because for some reason it sounds hilarious to me. I think that's because my mental associations with Australians don't suggest formality and financial dealings.
