(7) at the Bank and (8) the Time

Podcast #7 is a rather brief but important discussion - exchanging your traveler's check for cash. Have your passport ready. Sometimes you will need an additional, accepted, photo identification card e.g. bank card, driver's license, or university student card. Upon receiving your cash, immediately place it in your wallet or special money holder. Do not be counting or holding your cash as you leave the bank. Let's not put ideas into the minds of others of making their wallet heavier and your wallet lighter.

In Podcast #8, again we have a very simple conversation, but one that is often needed. The formal term "Madam" is used for extra politeness, although it would be fine to say merely, "Excuse me." without using a name. "Do you have the time?" is interchangeable with "What time is it now?"
When traveling, 'Be the master of time, and not it's slave.'
