Kanji in everyday life

Looking around my neighborhood I finally realized I'm surrounded by signs written in Kanji but totally forgot that my friends who come to visit me might have no idea what's written in them. Also, sharing some of these signs here could be useful so here comes the first sign:



This is a sign I see every time I take my son to the dentist and is composed by these two words:
1) 京都 (kyoto). Even though I live in Osaka, it's very close to Kyoto.
2) 銀行 (ginko): bank
In other words, Bank of Kyoto. There are other banks that are worth quoting:
東京三菱銀行: Tokyo Mitsubishi Bank, りそな銀行: Resona bank.
Anyway, keep your eyes open for the kanjis 銀行 because it might be the place to withdraw some money!!!

See you next time!! またね!!!
