Thousand Dollar Experiment - received money
I transferred my online money (result of the Thousand Ringgit Experiment) into my sister’s PayPal and managed to withdraw the money from an ATM machine (AmBank) using her PayPal ATM/Debit card. I took the money and deposited it into my Public Bank account. It was a good feeling, touching the actual money.
PayPal charges USD1 per ATM transaction. It’s ok as I’ve heard other Malaysian being charged USD 5 per ATM transaction using a different ATM card. I’m happy with the exchange rate too. It’s much better than what I get when I try to cash in my US cheques.
For the above transaction the exchange rate was about 3.4.
Now I have to look for the best bargain for a Canon Powershot 710IS. This will be the official GilaChess Camera. I haven’t been taking any good pictures lately for the past chess tournaments. Looking forward to better quality chess pictures for this blog and GilaChess.com.
