每个信用卡都有不同的foreign transaction fee规定.大多数收3%.申请的时候都在

所以钱包里推荐常备一张no foreign transaction charge的卡,比如capital one no

2）不想让外国人(orbitz)凭空赚了中国人的钱。
结果刚刚发现信用卡上有了一笔近100美元的foreign transaction fee. 我可是在

Sometimes, a familiar face is the last thing you need to see. Reminders of
home can disrupt your ability to process a foreign language, a new study
says.
The findings help us understand why cultural immersion is the most effective
way to learn a new language, and how immigrants and expats can gain fluency
in non-native tongues.

of course, stupid men who always look for women much younger in age, is
aggravating this.
that's why women, especially highly educated, successful 30+ year old women
opt to foreign men, find much better quality in foreign men than in Chinese.
More importantly, they probably have better marriage than those High
