【Accounting report of UK trip-cash&card】 |
How much money did we spend on our trip ? I kept a record of money everyday for card check. I don't use credit card and debit card in Japan because check is bother, but it's dangerous to have lots of money in overseas trip, so I used debit card in the UK . Senior price was written "CONCESSION" everywhere in the UK. Concession means discount. Prices were high in the UK., but daily necessities were not expensive. However domestic transportation expenses, air fare, travel insurance and hotel charge are different with each person, so I don't write them.(they are written ?) |

REVIEW after the trip ●Amount of having money (cash) We went to the UK with ¥20000(Japanese money -yen) and £420 (UK pond) each. I think Japanese yen was just right but UK pond was too much. Probably it was enough to have £250 each.(2persons £500) If we are short of money during trip, we can withdraw some money from ATM. ●Card and Cash We could use debit card almost of all the place except taxi, only 1hotel (B&B), some museum, food stall. ●Card check After returning home, I checked our debit cards on line, they were no problem. One hotel in London took the wrong deposit, so I was worried about it, it was no problem. Lately, there are lots of doplicate billing. Please take care. |
