I also know hundreds of typical words or acronyms from my own job that you would for sure ignore .that would not make you an ignorant . And anyway I would not use those words without an explanation . If I ask questions on this kind of forum I make myself clear .
was it so difficult to ask
" is it easy to change Norwegian crowns ....." instead of playing smart saying NOK" . I myself could use hundreds of acronyms that you the so smart banker/forex/ trader ( whatever). would not understand .
of course it's gonna be harder to change NOK than it would be to change € , or $ , or £ , or ¥ !! . even if you pretend to believe that everybody out of Norway is supposed to know what is a NOK !
been traveling all over the planet for 60 years . traveled across the planet before " lonely planet " didn't need .. rarely saw travelers traveling with NOK
and wandering at the last minute if they can change them for any kind of local currency .
otherwise if you really don't understand the words " respect" , and " dress properly " . then do as you feel . and stop complaining about the consequences like so many people pretending to be "travelers" love to .!!!
