How can I start a NGO.

NGO = Non-Governmental organization

NPO = Non-profit organization

These are registered like any other legal entity. Also, instead of .co.jp you get to have a .or.jp / .gr.jp.

Maybe the Myanmar military is afraid that FEMA will get involved and make it worse :O.

franz: In the U.S., ATMs are on every block, open 24/7 and still I have not had one run out of cash on me. This type of downtime would be unacceptable in most other countries. Besides, Japan has the nice fancy ATMs, why not just put in a bigger cash…
