My Escape From Almost Going to Jail in Yokohama

Once when I was traveling in Japan I was taking a trip around the Far East I was walking around downtown Yokohama and I saw a sushi restaurant down the street from where I was. It was around 2:00 P.M. and I still hadn’t eaten lunch, so I walked down the street and walked into the bar and ordered some lunch. I had udon with a side of king crab sushi and then when I finished the meal a check was brought to me, I looked into my wallet, I only had 200¥ left in my wallet, not nearly enough to pay my meal which cost 700¥. I didn’t know what I would do, but then I realized I had my credit card with me, but I didn’t know if it would work in different countries. I asked the waitress to see if my credit card would work, she took and rung it at a cash register, but it didn’t work. I told her that I didn’t have any money for the meal so she called for her boss to see what I would have to do. He told me that I would still have to pay for the meal, I asked to make a phone call and he let me do so I called my sister back at the hotel to come and get me at the restaurant. She came and brought enough money to pay for the meal. I thanked her for coming and from that day forward I always made sure that I would bring enough money for a meal whenever I was in a foreign country. 

 

Of note this is made up.
