Keep those Kiwi dollars

At the passenger unloading curb, I pulled all my Kiwi money out of my wallet and shoved it into my sister’s hands, figuring I wouldn’t need it anymore. Wrong! Apparently you have to pay New Zealand $25 or they won’t let you leave. Those bastards. I charged this one last expense to my AmEx, knowing full well I was getting shafted by their exchange rate.

  1. There’s a fee leaving Delhi and Bangkok as well. I think they should just charge the airlines, who would in turn pass it on to us, but an addition Rs. 500 isn’t a big deal on an international flight. On the other hand, the airlines would probably pass on the fees with additional processing fees attached. Never mind.
