ATMs in Asia

Singapore and Tokyo are not the cheapest places in the world, and some of their ATMs reflect that. In Singapore, I used an ATM off of Orchard which is where there is a bazillion high-end shops, and one of the preset value options for pulling out cash is $4000 Singapore dollars equal to ~$2900 US. Yup, you can pull about three grand US as one of the 'fast' options. Gotta pay for the shopping!

At Narita airport in Japan (Tokyo), I pulled out some cash too as you need cash to get around in Tokyo (subway, etc). The lowest option to pull out was 10,000 Yen, or about $115 at the current exchange rate.
