She went to like a Travel X or something down at the Chadson's Shopping Center here in Victoria.
Turns out we budgeted a certain amount of money for our trip.
And then when we got over there, we realized we were running behind.
We were like two days behind on our money that we budgeted.
Why the heck are we so far behind?
And we couldn't work it out no matter what.
And then what we did is we went back to the original receipt that we got for the currency transfer.
And we realized that we actually got something like 10% to 20% less than the market rate that you see on Google.
right we thought yeah you know we'll pay five percent three percent either side of that which is what would be normal but it was like 10 or 20 percent yeah and that translated to like two days worth of spending money that we missed out on because we didn't check the rate and we just went to some shoddy joint at a shopping center yeah so there's a few things there one of them is transferring currencies you obviously haven't i'm guessing you haven't done that yet
One thing that people always say is like, you know, you've got to get in now because the currency is going down.
And another thing is, you know, an Australian dollar only buys this much Great British Pound or US dollar.
