Hi Jaya,

That is fine with me!

Best wishes,

Hi Bob

I do not mind writing a review on return from this trip and you can then add on if I have missed anything. I will make notes as we go along.

I have already got £150 worth Malaysian currency - I ordered it at the same time when I was ordering my Mexican Pesos. By the way, I managed to spend all £250 worth of pesos!!

Regards

Jaya

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info - we will be relying on your experience of Singapore to guide us through our time there so I hope you are working on our itinerary!!!

Looking forward to meeting you,

Best wishes,

Bob

Hi Monty,
Many thanks, that is most helpful. I'll change money at the hotel reception in both countries then so. The easiest option is always the best on holiday!

Hello Bob

I don't know about Borneo but, when I was in Singapore, there was an ATM situated right by the entrance to the local MRT station across the road from my hotel: I used this all week and found it to be by far the most convenient option for obtaining cash. I used my bank's debit card so was billed in my own (non-Euro:-)) currency, with minimal fees and a reasonably good exchange rate

Jim

Thank you Toni, you too, i am sure we can give you an insight into what things cost and how far spending money goes though we all have different spending habits

yes bob i forgot about you living in Ireland, actually it just crossed my mind after i'd posted and i also meant to say i'm sure both Julia and Monty loves all the little tasks we set them

all the best

Dave

Thanks Toni, I will do my best to write a comprehensive review on my return - unless one of my travelling companions wants to do one instead, of course!

Best wishes,

Bob

I'm so pleased that all these questions are being both asked and answered, as I would inevitably have been asking them too. As my departure date is well after you guys come home, I trust you will give numerous helpful hints in terms of roughly how much money is needed (I am fortunate and can order in advance), what sort of electrical plugs to be prepared for, etc etc.

I hope you have an absolutely brilliant time!

Toni

Hi Dave, in little old Ireland we don't have online bureaux de change and Tesco doesn't do it either! My local bank will only order in major currencies so I don't have a hope of getting currency for many of my holidays before I go. Thankfully I'm never alone in this and there are usually a few people who need to get currency once on tour. It is great that hotels in most countries have a currency desk these days and I'm not going to worry if it's a poor exchange rate - convenience wins every time!! I always notify my bank before I go but I've rarely had to use either my debit or credit card whilst being away in recent years so I must be good at this budgeting lark!

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Bob

please ask as much as you like I love it when a tour that I am going on comes up on here

regards currency hotels, airports and banks give poor exchange rates although handy for convenience, I do like to have cash on me rather than run the risk of running short so mine gets ordered online with better exchange rates, Travelex had a currency sale and they often have them and no delivery on orders over £500 but I also carry my debit cards for emergencies

all the best

Dave

Hi Monty,

Many thanks, that is most helpful. I'll change money at the hotel reception in both countries then so. The easiest option is always the best on holiday!

Best wishes,

Bob
