Some people like to go backpacking on a "budget" to expensive destinations then sleep at the bus station or on the train, scrimp on food live on bread & water and instant food and live like beggar once they get there I hate to go for that kind of lousy vacation, when I go on vacation with my buddies, we all like to live well and eat well and drink hard hence usually we end up going to places where the currency exchange rate is greatly in our favor and spending power is a big advantage and we live like kings .. well at a least for a few days.
