From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Kir=E1ly?= on 9 Jun 2010 20:53 Yes, yes, I know, I know. These days everyone uses ATMs. But my bank charges such a hefty fee for using foreign ATMs that I have already determined that I will save money by bringing cash from home (Canada) and exchanging it at OTP Bank in Budapest. Are there any other exchange shops that have better rates than OTP Bank? -- K. Lang may your lum reek.
