What's the problem? The problem is that Google *doesn't return any*,
you dipstick. You think I don't know how to use Google? I wouldn't
have posted in this newsgroup if I hadn't spent a lot of time already
unsuccessfully Googling for an answer.

Put your money where your mouth is, Tom, and post a link to a Canadian
bank that has no foreign ATM fees, that you found by using Google. I
dare you.

I can't remember the names, but I didn't have much problem finding
them when I needed one. The one I preferred to use was in Moskva
ter, mainly because the internet cafe there was the only one I could
find in the entire city that allowed me to print anything. (Remember
that if you need to print a boarding pass).

There are credit unions in Canada. Look for one near you with the lowest
fees.

For example Macleod Savings and Credit Union only charges $3.00 for an
international ATM withdrawal. No so bad if you take out $300.

Hi, your suggestion looked to be the best yet. But alas, Citibank's
sole Canadian branch no longer opens accounts for new customers. They
serve their existing customer base only.

I still haven't found a solution better than exchanging cash, but I'll
keep looking.
