Getting really worried about this European snow clusterfuck :ohdear:
I'm flying out Christmas Day from Tokyo>Guangzho>Paris>Amsterdam and then back again on New Years Day, even a day's delay will make me late getting back to work. I doubt if China Southern would provide a refund if I cancelled so I guess I'll just have to hope for the best?

edit; Somebody reassure me :smith:

Nope...


edit; VVV Thanks a ton, I also checked the weather and came to the same tentative, hopeful conclusion. Fingers crossed...

I'm leaving Japan tomorrow without having been able to exchange my dollars ($1500) for Euros. I was even told by a bank teller here that I can't even do it at Narita International Airport and will have to wait until I actually arrive in Europe to make an exchange.

Can I rely on being able to change $1500USD during either my Paris layover or in Amsterdam (Schipol) airport? Is there anywhere in Amsterdam itself that I might get better dollar-Euro rates than the airport?

edit; In case anybody else is ever in the same boat, I'm at Narita and found out that you can indeed only exchange to/from (whichever foreign currency) to yen and back. So if you have a bunch of dollars, as I did, you would have to change from USD to Yen and then to Euros or whatever (incurring double fees). Long story short, definitely wait until arriving in Europe since they can exchange any currency directly to Euros.

Assumed like an idiot that it'd be easy to find a hotel in Amsterdam, but it looks like everything is booked or above our budget ($90-$120 per night).

If anybody is familiar with a good hotel in Amsterdam that has vacancies (either 3 single rooms or one three-bed room), please let me know :smith:
