Volunteer asks: will my bank card work out there or should I take cash (what's the currency?)
Earlier in the blog we have the conversion rates listed:
$1 USD = 184 Hungarian Forints
£1 = 364 Hungarian Forints
Your ATM card will be your best friend. It's quick, it's easy, and it'll give you the most reasonable conversion rates (I once had a change stand in prague pull a 25% slice out of my coronat). ATMs are all over the place.
Also - don't bother with traveler's checks as they're very difficult to use. And bring a bit of cash with you to carry around just in case. Say, $100 just in case you get into a jam.
