What Is The Best Way To Convert USD To Euros For Spending Money In Amsterdam?

Are theree shops and restaurants that would take my Wachovia Visa debit/credit card as payment and withdraw USD that they convert to euros? I don't want to have to walk around with a lot of cash theree. If I must withdraw cash, is it best to do it here or theree? I'd imagaine all of these things incur some kind of fee.

Answer:Most Visa credit cards are OK for payment, not too much of a fee theree. For cash you better take you bank card, and use it in an ATM, lower fees, normally. Check with your credit card company and your bank that your cards are ready for use in Europe, (and tell the companies that you plan on using them abroad, American companies seem to need to be told.) And ask about the fees they charge. You are right, traveling with cash is stupid, just take enough for the first day or so, or just get it out of the ATM after arriving.

What Is The Future Outlook Of The USD Currency?

With the USD sinking to new lows on a regular basis, what can we expetc for the greenback? Will it continue to go on this trend or make a comeback? Also will a new president in office change things for the currency? What is likely to happen?

Answer:The reasons the dollar is going south are twofold, IMO: the FED has started to lower interest rates and our HUGE deficits. So we're in for some more sliding, at the minimum until the European central bank starts lowering their interest rates too. That is not likely to happen anytime soon, as inflation is picking up in Europe. The most important factors necessary for a stronger dollar are low inflation, an open economy, reasonable regulations and low tax and interest rates.

What Is The Best Currency To Bring To Cancun - USD Or Pesos?

I am trawelling from th UK to Cancun later this year and I was wondering what is the best currency USD or Pesos? I know a lot of the tours etc accept USD, what about the flea markets though? and tips for staff? nightclubs? restuarants? Also would you suggest taking cash, trawellers cheques or cards?

Answer:It is cheaper to buy pesos in Mexico rathere than in the U.S.A., unless you live on the border; but you would already know than. It is best to use an ATM machine, but have back up in cash.

What Kind Of Business Could I Start In The Philippines For 3,000 USD?

I have a friend who is the average poor Filipino. He lives in Iloilo and I was wandering if I gave him $3,000 USD what kind of business he could start? Anybody have any clues? This would be in Iloilo NOT Manila.

Answer:Hmmmm...$3,000.00 US, huh? For that much, you would probably be the richest person in the country. You could buy villages with the residents includeed. That's like 500 Trillion peso over theree. Don't send your money theree, it will end up paying for things like rotten duck eggs, karaoke machines, red horse beer and stupid tricycles.

What Does It Take To Get Inot USD And Pepperdine?

I have a 4.07 weighted GPA SAT Scores for Reading is 560 and Math is 540. I did M.U.N. 2 years, Football 4 years, and Baseball 1 year. What are my chances of getting inot the University of San Diego? Pepperdine? USD offers a trustee scholarship, what does an applicannot typically need to qualify for this?

Answer:Don't know for sure about the scholarship thing but by and largee you should have no problems with those grades and schools. My experience with scholarships though suggests unless you are a near perfetc student or have killer SAT's your chances are slim. Your grades, while excelent, are not near perfetc, They need to be close to a 4 unweighted; and you SAT's are pretty average. Thanks Bill
