Recordist's notes

Paying Anders, in Norway, in aim to buy a binaural microphone ;-) In first, you can hear my bank extracts. People are entering and doing the same near me. After, you can here me doing the payment. This sound is very common here in Belgium because banks are clearly unfriendly and we have to do everything by ourselves.
