Cambodia money changers offer the actual rate, not like banks. I think they must charge money launderers the vig, they will pay for clean money. Vespa money changers are my store. I changed a lot of US for Aussie a while ago and he said to me , why do you want cash? We can put it straight into your australian account at the real rate.
I think it's the Chinese informal banking system. You can deposit any amount of money at a grocery store or moto seller anywhere in the world and it will be remitted overnight anywhere you want. Without the bank charges-4% or so in Australia.
Vespa has lots of old Vespas lying around, they were originally moto repairers. I have their card here,Kim Ngoun Currency Exchange. Tel:011/016/0888 858677.
They speak english and can tell you the rate and the best denominations.
It's good you are excited. It is pretty damned good, still.

Slow down little world, you're changing too fast.

Always "hope" but never "expect".

The Middle East is my favoured non-direct route, too. However, as I said, I would now opt for a direct flight to Asia from Heathrow or Manchester whenever possible and get most of the fucking about done in the UK.Fourkinnel wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2017 1:10 pmWent to Dubai, 2 hours later on flight to BKK. Emirates. No issues apart from 30 mins late.Did you take that photo on the way out of Birmingham? If so, can I ask what route you opted for? Birmingham is a pretty shite considering it likes to tout itself as an "International" airport, it's no better than most other regional airports when it comes to going anywhere I have wanted to go. There's not really any such thing as a long-haul direct flight from BHX.
Few weeks before, flew from there to Bucharest Romania. Blue Air. Total fuck up, 1 hour 45 mins late, boarding took longer than the 30 mins they announce the gate number, sweating my ass off, sitting on a plane with no AC on hottest day of year.

It was over two years ago last time I arrived here.

Shit, Jamie, mate. I never knew it had been that long. Maybe that is why Trapper is saying Snooky is shit and our beloved non-violent, Finnish hipster is demanding to know why people in Snooky hate so much. We need you back. Roll on October. Winter has arrived, but we can't send a raven as Bran has become the raven now. Fuck.
