How to remain "at the",
How to remain "at the",
Being engaged in an exchange of one currency for another.
Certainly, absolutely lost-free to manage it is impossible. So or
Otherwise, but percent for the services a beret any changed. A question
Only in how to reduce losses to a minimum. That
To pay off for purchases abroad it is possible not only cash,
But also a credit card, theoretically know all. But absence
Necessary experience in circulation with plastic cards forces
Our compatriots rather with watchfulness carry tsja to idea
"Plastic instead of cash". A considerable role plays and
Suspiciousness from which abroad concern the Russian
To maps. In it we are guilty not only events of 1998, but also
Compatriots. Persevering attempts to pay off in the French
Soup ermarketah salary "StB-kard" and "JUnionkard"
Called sellers irritation and confidence, that at Russian
Normal maps cannot be. Nevertheless if for payment
Maps of the international payment systems, for example VISA are offered
EuroMasterCard, as a rule, with payment of problems does not arise.
Problems can appear only at dialogue with a cash dispense.
Last, as any inanimate object, errors and reservations not
Understands. And if the error at attempt to draw out money repeats
Three times, the cash dispense "will arrest" a map, and to take it it will be possible
Only by means of the employee of bank who posesses a cash dispense.
Map will return after a passport presentation. Therefore in avoidance
Troubles it is necessary to understand thoroughly with rules
Usings cash dispenses. That bank which gives out a map, is obliged
To instruct. For secure it is better to use those
Cash dispenses which are located on a bank facade. And to remove
Money it is better in working hours, when employees of bank on places and
Can help with a case of complications. The most unsuccessful moment for
Removals of money in the majority of the countries - evening of Friday. If a cash dispense
Will grasp a map, to wait it is necessary till Monday. How there were you
Are thus revolted and angry, in no event it is impossible
To vent the fury on a cash dispense. Pair of kicks on an iron box
Will lead to what to wait for Monday it is necessary in the policeman
Site. On each device the television camera, and police is established for
Boundary reacts so quickly, that to the Russian simply it is not believed. And
One more precaution not out of place: a cash dispense it is better not
To use on the eve of departure. Otherwise on all well familiar
"To the meanness law" something somewhere will not work, and can, bank
Employees declare strike, and to return home or
To continue travel it is necessary without a plastic card. It is not necessary
To exclude and possibility of loss or map theft. In this case
It is necessary to call urgently in the service centre of the bank and to ask
To block a map. It will not call problems, if somewhere in
Bank phone, number are providently specified a notebook
Maps and a keyword.
The individual PIN-code is better for learning by heart, it will be
Guarantee, that anybody cannot see, copy it and
To use it in the mercenary purposes. Right after
Loss detection it is necessary to address in police. It will simplify
Finding-out of relations with bank, especially if is timely
To warn bank it is not possible. You never can tell, quite probably,
That the police will manage to find the lost map. If it ukr ali not
umeltsy, specialising on thefts of money from another's bills,
Most likely it will simply throw out in the nearest garbage tank.
Plastic cards, certainly, are convenient, but without cash all
Equally not to manage. Quite often travellers have a temptation
Not to suffer with local currency, constantly making the mathematical
Calculations for reduction of the prices to habitual scale. Especially
That in many countries especially located on coast warm
The seas and oceans, dollars for payment accept rather willingly. However
It is necessary to listen to councils skilled and, coming in the new country,
Completely to be switched to local currency. It will manage is cheap
le. First, anybody from local dealers does not like dollars
So, to give for them any thing its costs are cheaper
In local currency. And here to "be welded on" on the lohe-tourist filled
"Green", is without ceremony. Also it is not necessary to listen trustfully
To promises to give "the special discount" at payment in dollars. More likely
Everything, the price is lifted so, that no discounts will lower it
To real level. Even in cases when the seller does not put
The purpose to swindle the tourist, while translating local currency in dollars
It will approximate the sum to own advantage. It is the original tax on
The unwillingness of the tourist independently to reach exchange office and
To make simple procedure of an exchange.
The prices are calculated on laziness of the tourist in the boutiques located in also
Expensive hotels. A difference in the prices for the identical goods in a boutique and
The next supermarket can be simply astronomical. So
It is not necessary to pass by exchange office at the airport. A course
Dollar purchases here can be quite comprehensible. And here the rests
Local currency before departure from the country to hand over at the airport
It is usually very unprofitable. The administration fine understands, that
The airport - last point where the traveller can get rid
From unnecessary currency, and anywhere it already from here will not get to, will sell
Local bank notes under that price which to it will offer.
Exchange offices in hotels are convenient enough. More often they
Work without days off and practically round the clock. Here is
Guarantee of decency of the employees making exchange.
Are known, the truth, cases, when in Germany, France and the countries
Southern Americas and to tourists handed over in exchange offices become outdated and
Not so not operating banknotes. However, after a presentation of the check and
Threats to call police incidents have been instantly settled. A course
Exchange in hotels of Europe usually more low, than in a city, on the average on
2-5 %, and in the Asian countries the difference can reach 10 %.
But starting search of more favourable conditions of an exchange, follows at
Old residents to find out average values of purchase and sale of currencies. And
Whether the EC will meet exchange office fantastic conditions, to it
It is necessary to concern with all suspiciousness. Free cheese happens,
As is known, only in a mousetrap, and for certain here it is hidden
Any dirty trick. In Warsaw, for example, on the area of the Old Market
The exchange nyj point offers very much good bargains. And only when
Zloties in hands and the check is punched, found out, that on a signboard was
The dollar exchange rate is specified, and purchase is carried out simply for
Copecks. Ruin the tourist commission gathering, which can also
Take mnog ie banks for exchange. In Amsterdam at an exchange 10
Dollars on 20 guldens from the tourist can quite take 10
Gathering guldens. So before to stretch in a window the
Dollars, is better to ask the employee of exchange office
To write on a piece of paper, kaku ju you for them receive the sum. Not important,
As you will look thus, but remain at the.
Separate conversation deserve "currency kidaly". Representatives
This trade is in all countries. And the working day at them
nenormirovannyj. When all respectable banks
Are closed, before the confused tourist instantly appears
It is obliging yj changed. In Italy and Spain it happens during time
Siestas, in Israel on Saturday, and in Poland and France on Sunday.
The basic receptions of swindle do not differ a variety,
Well-known and nevertheless remain effective. The first
Reception - "lomka". Changed nedokladyvaet one denomination in a pack and
Asks to count. After "error" comes to light, a pack
Money menjaloj, with apologies the denomination again is recalculated
It is reported, and the combined ("broken") pack comes back
pokupat elju. Changed disappears, and the unfortunate buyer with horror
Finds out in a pack small denominations or simply cut paper.
At the moment "lomki" the swindler has changed banknotes. Certainly, for this purpose
Certain qualification is required. The most skilled "lomshchiki"
Boss in polsh e and countries of Eastern Europe, in Italy.
"Market" in something is easier, more primitive, but is not less effective.
Its idea in somehow to distract attention of the client
From menjaly. To the last it is a lot of time also it is not required, but "market
Representation "is arranged duly. In Poland, Spain and
Italy take part in "market" gipsies, invalids or beggars. And
In Delhi before tourists there can be a group leprous,
Redressed by decaying rags. Whoever has appeared, it is one
The command, and "gain" they then will divide.
