Karena area ATM adalah area yang dimilik oleh Bank, dan bukan nasabah. Karena itu di Jepang, terutama dulu, banyak ATM tidak buka 24 jam.

They’re bombing us from the sea and from the east, they’re bombing us from the air. When the telephone works, people tell us about relatives or friends who were killed. My wife cries all the time. At night she hugs the children and cries. It’s cold and the windows are open; there’s fire and smoke in open areas; at home there’s no water, no electricity, no heating gas.
