Bring Blank DVD-Rs Instead of Buying Hard Drive for 3-week Trip?
So i can find internet kiosks, which should have computers that
can burn to DVD-Rs. Hopefully these will not be hard to find in Europe and Egypt. I figure i should bring my own blanks, because otherwise they would charge a fortune when i'm overseas....... |

They'll rip into the minute you open your mouth and they know you're on holidays. Like who needs your type on holidays anyway? With an attitude like yours what makes you think you'll be welcome anyway? How pretentious can you get? The truth is you'll probably get cheaper discs and better service than you're ever likely to get at home. Douglas |

If this person is traveling from the US, then I would have to say that's not bloody likely, given the currently atrocious exchange rate for the US dollar. -- YOP... |

I have no idea what the status is of public access computers around the world - it might be safer, though a bit more cumbersome, to rely on CD-R instead of DVD. |

Get some of your own lopsided currency exchange and bleed about it? Arn't you lot the ones who are supposed have all the money? It must feel odd to discover other currencies are worth more than your buck. Live with it... Or stay home. Douglas |

Because you can alway use a CD-R in a DVD burner, but not vice versa, i figure i should perhaps bring some of both, just in case. Oh yeah, and word to the wise: DON'T get the cheap stuff when it comes to blank digital media! I got those cheapie $0.16/per disk ****, and after 1-2 years, the audio went bad. |

It's VERY normal for foreigners to be charged way more than locals. Especially supposedly rich Americans. People have tried to gouge me in every other country i have been to. To be fair, people also try to over-charge me here in the good ole' USA, but their chances of success are much slimmer, because I'm usually familiar with the going rates in an area. This is NOT to say there are not very gracious people in Mexico and Thailand....most people don't try to rip foreigners off.....but there are certainly a few bad apples out there. This is also not to say that no Americans have ever tried to rip off someone new to the country. |
