Do you know what currency your country uses?

I buy Euros at my local Post Office when I’m travelling to Euroland. Recently I have bought them for travel to France, Greece and Southern Ireland. Yesterday I was in the queue to buy them for my trip that starts tomorrow, my trip to Manchester, when it dawned on me that we don’t use Euros in England. I got out of the queue before I made a total idiot of myself. Is your mind always fully engaged when organising your life?

Not always. We're lucky that we can use the Dollar all over the US and Mexico.

I wouldn't know how to do all that. I've only been to Mexico outside of the U.S. I was able to use American money where I went.

No, my mind is always thinking about a million of things. In Portugal we use Euros before it we had Escudos.
