I have the Halifax Clarity card, so, what they ^ said. You get a near enough perfect exchange rate on cash withdrawals, just pay it off as soon as or even just before it hits your statement and you pay pennies in interest. One word of warning (though this may be common knowledge and I was...

My dive course was £200, some places will even throw in accommodation. I can't recommend Master Divers enough, you will see their shop as you get to Koh Tao on the ferry.

Everything this ^ guy said. Soi Cowboy (or insert other red light district here) is worth a visit. It's harmless fun if you want it to be, went with my girlfriend :eek:. We went to a bar/strip club called Long Gun, standard strip club, but they also throw in a show at 11. Includes some novel...

Oh yea it's fully on the backpacker trail now, still, it's a cool place to chill out and and it's nice and cool with a real friendly atmosphere. We stayed in a bungalow just outside the town, open to the atmosphere so.. Bugs.... Bugs everywhere.

£20 sounds about right for a resort. But you can get yourself a hut on the beach for 500 baht (£10) or less I would say. Though you would have to live without aircon.. Not great on those sticky Thai nights. :o Food is relatively cheap, like you say street food is the cheapest. But there's...

Currently sat in my hotel in Koh Pha Ngan.. Here with my girlfriend, doing the standard SEA travels. We both loved Bangkok, there is so much to do, if you like shopping you will be in your element as the malls are immense. I recall someone on the boards wrote a great guide to Bangkok, so...

Currently in Wuhan, China, and I've beenin Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongquing and Yichang. No issues getting onto Gmail or Skype. Facebook is inaccessible unless you use a VPN or some other techno thing I'm not clued up enough to know how to set up... :o

That's one of the things I love most about Silverstone. I fear that I may not find the same enthusiasm in China

Anyone? Having been to Silverstone twice, this year I would go somewhere a bit different. So obviously I chose to go to the Shanghai GP! I'm dragging along my girlfriend, who incidentally hates F1... But I think there is hope yet and a live race may just turn her. Or make her hate it even...

The problem with that is, I am a massive cheapskate, which I thought was obvious. I'm getting my girlfriend a book for Christmas....

Thanks, that's damn close. If we can move into the 3rd dimension I think we can crack it.

No not at all, it's more that part of what she enjoys about books is the physical side of it, plus she likes having a bookcase full of books. I agree the fact she hates them is a little odd, but not unusual as other posters will attest to. I may just do that, good idea thanks.

Really? Hmm this complicates things. Does it rip across the front or along one of the edges?

She will find it funny, we've been together 7 years, her sense of humour is very much like mine..... I hope :eek: Also she really really hates Kindles, so there is no chance of her wanting it. So cruel, but potentially relationship ending.... :p No £70! Wait?! What?!

Not sure that I come out on top in this deal... :p Trust me, she would rather I got her nothing than get her a Kindle. There is no reasoning with her. That's what I put it down to. Kindlist? Ebookist? Either way she's a monster.

This may sound like a strange request, but bear with me. I want to get hold of a Kindle box, just the box and in as near new condition as possible. Any of you still have your Kindle box and are willing to give it to me? I will pay postage of course! Non-essential back story… My...

Are you sure you're not working on commission from Halifax..., every time a travel money question arises, you pop up. :p I know this because I got this card on your recommendation, for when I leave on my travels next year.

My brother's E36 M3 at Castle Combe yesterday.
