additional cash needed?

hello to the readers of this blog… namely yixin and joris i suppose? we’ll be meeting soon!

To xf,

Just in case travelling in Europe cost a huge bomb way beyond our projected spendings, a quick check with the bank (UOB) has revealed that we can withdraw cash from any atm machines with the PLUS service using the UOB campus card.

However, a 1% cross border charge and a 1.5% bank charge will be imposed.

4 more days to the flight!
