I don't know if someone has mentioned this but please check out Transferwise. This is one of the best service I have personally ever used in my 10 years of sending money to India. They give you interbank rates, which are practically realtime rates quoted. The fee is 0.5% but the rate given more than ...

[QUOTE=okonomi;586843]This is just a problem for visitors. The natives are allowed to take a doggy-bag home, even when there is no doggy at home. Slices of medium-rare beef steak can spawn several nice stir-fry dishes for the next day, the day after and more. The good wife always trains her man to ...

I haven't gone through the entire thread so I am not sure if this is mentioned earlier. But what annoys me in the US are the food portions. I live in London but frequent US for work every now and then. The food portions are massive no matter where you go. This is bad because 1. I was taught to ...

After one and a half year, while we were still in the UK, he was transferred to Mumbai and another three years later, transferred back to London, and then we left UK. But he was not on the investment side. If your bank has a branch ...
