Me gusta a tener exactamente el dinero correcta cuando me aterrizar en un país,

es justo demasiado caro cambiar la moneda en el aeropuerto.

I like to have exactly the right money when I land in a country.

It is just too expensive to change currency at the airport.

I try to do similar Ranman , sometimes you win , often not , but in some south East Asian countries you have to pay cash for the visa at the airport , if you do not have the currency usually US dollars then they hit you to leg . - ray76, Nov 24, 2013
