| When using an ATM to withdraw money try to use one outside an open bank. If the ATM eats your card you can then go inside the bank and recover it. |

CAPSULE HOTEL. A Japanese lodging featuring small, box-like sleeping spaces. They are often located near railway stations and are usually for men only. They are referred to as kapuseru hoteru in Japan.
A capsule hotel (kapuseru hoteru) is a hotel system of extremely dense occupancy. Guest space is reduced in size to a modular plastic or fibreglass block roughly 2 m by 1 m by 1.25 m, providing room to sleep and little more, although facilities usually include a television and other electronic entertainment.
