Malaysian Money...nice..

So we ordered some Malaysian cash as we wanted to be nosey and get excited like kids when we went to France on a school trip years ago...''what does the money look like''...

Nice so we got em at a rate of 5.7 ringets to the pound market price was 5.9 at the time, we went to 7 different money exchangers and found that the difference was huge, always got to do your footwork finding the best rate, we changed £1000's worth and got 5600MYR. if we had gone with Co-op Travel we would have lost about £60...always good to look around and be informed.
So a 100 MYR note to us is like a twenty pound note although exact exchange today is £18, and the 50 MYR notes are like a £10 but actually 9 at today's rates. And to be honest that's how well use em.

My budget is going to be 2000 MYR per month to spend on what I like that's me pocket money whilsy i am there (until I run out of course and demand more).

getting very close now 3 weeks till offskis.
