BEWARE OF THOSE WHO PROPOSE TO EXCHANGE DOLLARS AND EUROS INTO LOCAL CURRENCIES

Don't trust them because they cheat on exchange rates, on the denomination of coins and they also give you banknotes that are out of circulation. Better to rely on money changers with lots of offices or banks, even if some charge commissions, but you won't incur big losses. Also try to change as little as possible in airports where changes are unfavorable, change only the bare essentials for the taxi, you will change the next day in a more favorable place. The best exchange is that of the ATM, put the English version and ask for the local amount of currency which is automatically debited in euros from your account with a favorable exchange rate and mostly without commissions. The ceiling of 250 euros per withdrawal is often not respected because in the country visited it can mean double the monthly salary, so they will give you a lower amount, you just have to make more withdrawals

I've never seen a bathroom; it's said that Louis XIV bathed twice in his entire life. They used lace to cleanse their mouths, and when they smelled too bad, they anointed themselves with perfume; that's why they became masters in this field. Unfortunately, I no longer see the beautiful, elegant women I remember from my first distant travels. Even though they wear skirts more than Italians, they mostly wear baggy, shapeless jeans. The French are less obese and fat than us Italians, perhaps because they don't usually eat first courses, especially pasta, but r...
