Ok here is my suggestion.
I am near Cape Town. (for you that do not know where that is, it is in Africa, actually in South Africa .... looking at a world chart it is right down at the tip
)
The current exchange rate is :
1 ZAR = 0.086 USD
1 ZAR = 0.076 EURO
1 ZAR = 0.056 GBP
I will cost you nearly nothing to get here, stay here or eat here. I am on a farm so you can camp and act like the hill billy's that some of you do in here
Furthermore it will not cost me my life savings to get to Chicago
Hey just a suggestion, use it, don't use it.
