Mastering Exchange Rates
Dear Rudy,
I have just returned from Turkey and Greece. Here's a tip that really
made shopping, cab rides, restaurant bills, etc., really easy: Go to
www.Oanda.com and click on their "Cheat Sheets" for the currency of
the country you're traveling to. (It's best to do this a couple of
days before you depart, so the exchange rates are current.) Print out
the rates BOTH ways: dollars to lyra and lyra to dollars, for
example. Take your printouts to a photocopy place and have them
laminated back-to-back. Now you've got a simple pocket guide that you
can whip out anytime and get a good idea of what things are costing
you!
Bye!
Corky
