Hi Gurutalon.

I've also had problems sending money to US. If you open a bank account in the US, how can you be sure that you won't have the same problems with payments getting lost when you send money to it? Remember this is a country which still runs mostly on cheques...

Why not just get yourself a credit card here (since I presume you are using it mostly here) and you'll save yourself getting ripped off on the foreign exchange transactions, and fix the admin headache as well?
