Hey, well the gig I was supposed to get in December has rolled into a Worldwide Tour. I go to York, England in May for 6 weeks of rehearsal and tech and then off on a tour of Europe & Russia then Japan in mid 2010.
It doesn't look like I'll be home before May 2010 while the gear is on a boat to Japan. I've never really been anywhere outside of the US. When I lived in La La land Sherry and my brother took to me to TJ a couple times, but that doesn't really count. I need recommendations on power adapters, cell phone, etc...I currently use AT&T with the iPhone - it looks like it's supposed to work international, but I'm not sure if it's the most cost effective. Also, any experiences with monies, etc... Thanks! |

A lot of the countries you are going to deal in Euro. It makes things pretty easy. Most people in Europe speak English. That makes things really easy most of the time. Like other people have said, don't assume the person you are talking to speaks english and you will be okay.
I have never had a problem with using ATM's outside the US. Most of the time the ATM gave me a better conversion rate than the local exhange places. Don't try and use your phone in Japan. It is illegal to use a non japanese phone there (frequency issues or something). Enjoy the trip. There is not a bad place on your list. |
