It probably pays to keep a range of US$ in cash on hand, since even Amex have
upped their currency conversion charges from $5 to $8. What do they think
they are a bank ? By the way what do banks charge for currency conversion, I
haven't dared to ask.
Anyway, when you have cash in the appropriate currency, International Express
Post it, this costs roughly the same as an IMO and gets there in 2-4 days.
