I went to American Express to exchange my money yesterday…same thing I do every year before I travel. It's puts a bit of local currency in my hand for when I land, and saves me some of those "non-Bank of American" ATM fees that I hate so much. Well, that damn Euro and its value. I handed over $400 and was expecting to get back around 300 Euros. Hahahaha…not quite so much. Instead, with a smile on his face and completely not shocked he handed me back 248 euros and three US dollars and some change. Wait..what the?? The Euro was trading at $1.48. Ain't that some shit? Damn Europe and their Euro. This sucks! Well, at least Budapest and Bratislava with have better exchange rates with their currency. And I'm glad I decided not to go to England this year. The British Pound would have killed me.
