***BTW someone correct me if I'm wrong, I have never travelled internationally and this is information I found on the internet***
As far as bank cards go, its pretty much down to your card issuer whether it will work overseas. cards bearing the cirrus or maestro logos will work in a lot of places, visa and mastercard are pretty much your best bet, theyre global, and insured.
Insofar as exchanging currency, if you can find a place to exchange that doesnt charge massive commission (most places in uk for example charge very little or none) then its generally preferable to change your money there, the exchange rates are visible, all your cash is changed at the same rate, and any fee is a one off.
Banks can and do charge a fee for every transaction, plus a commission on exchange, and the rate you get from them may not neccesarily be the best one. add to that itll vary daily, so rates might get worse over the course of a trip.
From personal experience, having travelled rather extensively, I wont travel without enough currency to survive for a couple of days, this covers me against losing my wallet or not being able to find a cashpoint. I also like to travel with currency for any area an aircraft would reasonably expect to divert to (for weather/mech failure etc)
ie; travelling to africa id carry whatever currency my target city used, plus euros, as a european destination would be the most likely stopover.
Its down to personal preference of course, but take it from me being stuck in a strange country with only the clothes your stood up in ****ing sucks. (even more so when theyre gabbling some heathen foreign lingo ;) )
*EDIT
OMG OMG OMG ITS GETTING NEARER!!!!!!1!

Oh dear god.
Weve hit the bars so hard that iceland is now sold out of jhonny walker black, morgans and stella.
On the plus side after buying a couple of 10000 isk rounds the bar staff have started loading us with free shots. W1N.
So many awesome people in such a small space.

Outstanding.
we got kinda worried when your pupils were dilating at different speeds tbh.
still, you were responsive, which is a good sign, responsive as in "WHARGARBBLE....snore"
Good effort.

Wow.
That was epic.
There are going to be some great FanFest legends after that one for sure.
To everyone I met; it was great seeing you all.
To anyone that got photos of me, please post links, or send them to me in game, I need to entertain my alliance :D
epic indeed
I didnt get a lot of pics sadly, the shakes pretty much ruined it for me.
here is what i managed to get, mainly from culture after the party.
all pulled straight off the camera, mainly crap im afraid but it does feature some small amount of win.
anything you want full sized let me know and ill get em emailed to you or somesuch
