    • Getting money from an ATM. That's something that can cost you money. Depending on where you get it. I've seen ATM's that would charge up to 4 dollar if you'd use them.. If you ad up the cost you're own bank will charge you for using an ATM outside the country. You'd be smarter to go to a large shop like K-mart or something and use the cash-back option when buying sometime (for instance some chewing gum :-)). This is free of charge, the only thing you'd pay would be the charges of your own bank. That will save you money you can spend elsewhere.

    • Calling home from the US.. There are a few ways to call from the US to your friend and family at home..You can put money in pay-phones, call from your hotel, use your mobile or use a calling card.. You can buy prepaid calling cards at shops, gas stations and newsstands. We us a calling (credit) card it can be used from payphones, private phones and hotel phones (beware most hotels charge you for using their phone even when it's a free number). With this card you call a free number and then your card number after this you can call home at a much nicer rate you would get elsewhere. Just visit telegroup. to see the costs..

    The card itself is free no annual fees you'll only pay when you use it

     I enjoyed your comments on NYC -- and I hope you get back there soon:)))    		MissyWQ Thu May 20, 2004 15:39 UTC
     Seeing the photo of the World Trade Center gives one such a vacant and sad feeling. Glad you were not at the top in 2001.

     A nice page about NYC. It's been about 30 years since I've been there, so it's time I go back. I'll never forget that awful day, or how I felt seeing those towers fall.
