I agree. However, I invested in a foreign currency card, where I can load foreign currency onto the card, and hence don't pay foreign exchange charges. Can use at ATM. Exchange rate ok, but not the best. As reported earlier I also have a 'Currensea' card, which is a Mastercard, but linked to my bank account, and debits my bank account direct. Advantage is it uses the interbank exchange rate, which is very good, and no extra charges. Works in ATM. Don't know about Apple pay, etc, not yet worked out how to use it!

Good point to make.

Which nationality passport? Sounds good news!

No surprise there, unfortunately. Perhaps this tragedy will lead to a tightening up. I hope so, but I am pessimistic.

Sometimes, does it work?

I read that the authorities in China want you to pay by card, and also by phone, because then they can check on you, and your spend. Not sure how true this is, but it seems more than likely

Ah, Dreaded Ned. Nostalgia rules!

Sometimes it can be interesting. I was approached, years ago, near Grand Central Station in NY. Fairly well dressed guy, with English accent. As I am English, he may have heard me speak. I got a very well crafted tale of woe, I am a doctor, lost my wallet, etc. He would give me no of hospital to ring etc. I was sure it was a scam, but very impressive. We talked for 10 mins. Eventually, I said that I did not believe him, but I would give him $10, as I thought his performance was so good. He went away happy!

Shame the law didn't say that it had to be worn on underwear!

Having said that, they seem to have other twitter accounts, with different Line ID!

Looking at their Twitter account, @vesawomnut, their Line ID is quoted as above, SiLKuQt. I clicked on that, on their twitter account, and it worked. On their twitter account they also have QXSzaV6. I'm pretty bad on IT, so can't help any more than that!

Mine is working OK, or at least I got a message yesterday. I'll try to to check the Line ID.

Sort of 'cock and chips'?

Or someone else's mouth....
