Going away finance question...

[TrueBlue]

As some of you will know I am going to Riga in Latvia at the end of this month for 3 nights flights already paid for but I need to know how much money to take out there now I am always a worrier so I think I should take a grand but I am being told this is stupid

Can anybody advise me how much money I will need???

 

[Pubey]

That is stupid.

Take 300 and leave your cards behind

 

[BrettieAngell]

Yeah £100 a day should be fine.

I went to Riga this weekend a year ago. It's not *really* cheap, but I went for two nights and came back with change from £200. That was food, beer and plenty of vodka - no titty bars or suchlike.

A grand sounds way too high, but I guess it depends on what you fancy getting up to! Enjoy.

I took three hundred quid for Riga for three nights and it was more than enough. In fairness I don't touch drugs or brasses so if you planning on these then maybe you need more.

The currency over there - the lat - is a bit confusing as rather than being like the monopoly money you often get in that part of the world, it's actually worth more than the pound. Currently 1 lat = £1.27. I kept on thinking I was being ripped off.

Dont take too much there is a tendency for young ladies to con you out of money in these eastern european countries.... not talking from experience of course.

Get yourself a pre-loaded credt card like caxton do,take 300/400 then put 200/300 on the card in case you double up on toot and brasses.

I just rang Dominos and they want another grand for 3 x deliveries to there. You need to double your budget, I reckon.
