Apparently somebody is buying a lot of British Pounds in The U.S. I thought to take advantage of the bargains earlier today by stocking up for a forthcoming trip and was told by the bank that delivery would take a few days longer than usual due to heavy volume but the price at which I bought would be firm. Professional currency traders normally do not take physical possession so this action suggests it's more "ordinary" people doing some bargain hunting.Interesting cuz "ordinary" people don't normally react.so quickly. Good for you in picking up some for yourself. You're going to be able to live a rich life there during your vacation. I remember going to Mexico when the Peso was getting hammered (long, long ago). I felt like some disgustingly rich American.Apparently somebody is buying a lot of British Pounds in The U.S. I thought to take advantage of the bargains earlier today by stocking up for a forthcoming trip and was told by the bank that delivery would take a few days longer than usual due to heavy volume but the price at which I bought would be firm.

It's like going to the far east.
In western Europe a hostel will cost you $25 a night in a bed sharing with 12 other people. In Bangkok you can get a room for two people for like $15, a hostel, the lowest I've seen, was about $6 for six nights in China.
