And you run into trouble if you are 'dropped' in middle of some
forign(sp?) place outside the UCAS that works in something other than
nuyen. Sure, they still take it, but the exchange rate and trouble just
aren't worth it. If you know you are going to be going somewhere
outside the UCAS, get it switched before you go.
