Almost easy. The main thing to wary of for a lot of ATMs in China is the order of ATM delivery/card return.

In Australia, the order is cash -> card -> receipt (or is it card -> cash -> receipt? whatever - the receipt is the last thing that will be spat out of the machine).

In China in some ATMs it is cash -> receipt -> card. If you've just got off a long flight, and in autopilot mode it's very easy to walk away after you have the receipt in hand and forget the card (.... I did this once, and almost did it again a year later, to prove that the first one wasn't just a fluke ).

Now if you asked the people who know me well, they would of course say that "you are wrong and the behaviour was completely out of character" NOT!!!!

Definitely didn't leave the cash behind. That would not be a good day. :shock:

I know someone who did... (wasn't me). In Australia on some/most machines apparently if you don't claim the cash within X seconds, it draws it back into the machine and stores it somewhere. A call to the bank can actually get that money back to you...

Perhaps serfty karma is stronger that drron karma

I bow to the stronger karma.

I bow to the stronger karma.

Still, for the moment it is holding above 80c. Maybe the next drop comes when serfty steps aboard the aircraft

Just bought some US domestic tickets in $US. Will be interesting to see what they come in at. Whatever happens I'm glad I didn't buy them at 65c.

Re: Rising!!! Now?!!!

Well it's been pushing on past 80c and hit 83c on xe.com today.
My trigger finger is getting itchy, to buy or not to buy... going over in 8 weeks...

Er... um... what's going to happen? Crystal ball anyone?

 

[Keith009]

It was 77c when i was traveling.

Still, there were some great sales going on so I saved HEAPS anyway.....

 

[docjames]

I want to see US90c, EU60c, GBP 55p.
