What countries have the best exchange rate for the dollar?
The 'exchange rate' has nothing to do with anything here - it is the cost of
living that is important. "Tom Keener" wrote in message ... I'm planning on traveling the world over the next year..... One of my criteria is to travel to countries that have a good exchange rate with the US dollar. That way I can get more for my dollar. What a sad criteria to use for a world trip. You must be american Hey, if he lives on the local economy and only stops at Niger, Chad, Angola, and Bangladesh, his money will go a _long_ way. For someone so concerned with economy, he'd deserve that trip. |

If the locals subsist on little but mashed taro root and sleep in squalid, filthy and unhealthy conditions unacceptable to the OP, he might find a place with an apparent low cost of living to be relatively very expensive. If the government forces foreigners to pay much more for many things, regulates where they can stay overnight and what price they must pay, requires some shops to deny them service without ration cards, or the forces them to exchange money "officially" at a very unfavorable rate, the same result can occur.

True, but even when that occurs, sometimes it's possible to enjoy a very cheap trip. For example, Burma. It's been 18 years since I was there, but in spite of the government control, it was dirt cheap. And a great place to visit, too. |
