Hehe, as to the exchange rates and fees, we in Europe consider withdrawing money from an ATM using a debit card as the cheapest way of getting foreign currency abroad. The banks offering you ATM's abroad almost never charge any fees, and if they do (like in the UK) it is clearly stated on the screen. Otherwise it is only up to your own bank what the fees are. With my bank I don't pay any fees at all. Most banks in Europe charge 1,5%-2% on the exchange rate. Still, it is cheaper than using a currency exchange centre!
