Got up at seven o'clock in the morning. Ate two pieces of bread for breakfast. Moved into the house that a relative of my wife owns this morning. Ate a couple of pieces of bread for lunch. Went out shopping at grocery stores. Ate a Japanese meal for dinner.

For the last two weeks, my wife and I enjoyed having an aperitif at the house of my wife's parents before dinner in order to be sociable. Because my driver's license for the US has not yet been converted into that for Japan, I had no plan to drive a car in Japan, so far. The small amount of alcohol I consume from an aperitif doesn't have any noticeable influence on my frame of mind. Therefore, in terms of the risk of a DUI and the failure in anger management, my drinking an aperitif isn't unsafe now.
Will continue to have an aperitif before dinner at home on most of the weekends, holidays, and anniversaries.

Found that our Visa credit card account of TruWest credit union was charged with the purchase that we didn't make. The amount that was added to our Visa account is $450.00 and the description of it is BCISI90 Fee. Made a report of this unknown transaction seen in our credit card account to the Visa customer service by international telephone in order to remove it from our account this evening.

The following email was sent to the cardholder service of TruWest Credit Union today:
On February 13, 2013, I submitted a notification of my change of address to TruWest Credit Union. My old address is 12720 Twisted Briar Ln. Austin Texas 78729, and my new address is in Japan. Because an envelope with my bank statement was recently delivered to my new address in Japan, I confirmed my change of address on the system of TruWest Credit Union. 

Today, I talked to a customer representative of the Visa card service of TruWest Credit Union about an unknown charge that was added to my credit card account recently. During our phone conversation, she told me that only my old address in the US was kept on the online banking system of TruWest Visa. She was unable to find my new address on the system.

Would you please update my address not only on the system of TruWest Credit Union but also on the system of TruWest Visa, as soon as possible?

Regards,
Yasuhito Shiho
