If you need to change money always use the crown exchange, or as i do just use an atm, some banks do not charge for this service depending on what account you hold.

Read a good few posts and you will gain some great tips from the rest of the other forum members. There will always be some one to help you on here.

First time on a snowboard? get some padded pants to go under your outer pants, falling on your tail bone hurts a lot less in padded knickers. Very Happy soft knee pads might help too, just means you get up quick and nothing hurts.
