"If you plan to travel to Europe, the big continent of the Europeans you have to note, that already almost all the European countries joined the E.U. So the E.U., the official currency of the E.U. since they join the E.U. territory, most of them, I have to say, most of them. For example, France, we join to the E.U. territory, which means that they use the currency itself, since the 1st of January 2002. If you arrive to Paris, you have to note that you should not change a big sum of money before you leave home. So please take a little cash with you and change a bigger amount when you're already there, because the exchange rates are much better and much more generous in Paris than in your own homes. So take credit cards as well with you, because in Paris they except everywhere the credit cards, and there are many ATM's on the streets and they never charge a fee, it's much better, it's a much better option in Paris than in your homes. Please go ahead and explore the lovely City of Delights, Paris, which is beautiful, the food is wonderful, and if you go around, you find dozens of lovely shops, especially on the Champs-Elysees, and then you really need money."
