I'll just use my debit card for most stuff and make a withdrawal from a cashpoint when I'm there.
Likewise, and have been doing so for years. It's so much more convenient and the exchange rate is virtually no different.

I withdrew cash at an ATM a couple of times in Tenerife last week and the rate was 1.14. The transaction/ withdrawal fee took it down to around 1.12, which is similar to buying euros in the UK.

Have been on a train down to London today. Me & Mrs PW are now sat on an A380 waiting to take off in about 5 mins to Hong Kong.
So I'll see you peeps later & will check in with you over the weekend.
A win in Norfolk on Satdee would be nice to start our holiday.
Au revoir.

PW, my brother did his National Service in HK and my daughter worked there for 3 years several years ago. There is a road named 'Hennessy Road' in HK but has nothing to do with us! :D Have a great trip.
I once played against Don Revie.

Mrs W and I loved our few days in HK last year. Amazing place of contrasts!

Afternoon from Kowloon Shangri La hotel.
Cloudy & overcast but 25°C & low humidity, so very pleasant indeed.
Just back from a tour of HK island, been on a sampan trip round the harbour, ride up The Peak on it's cable car & had a browse round Stanley market.
All fascinating places and spectacular views from The Peak. Enjoying HK very much so far. :wave: :thumbup:
