Dude. DUDE. I WANT THAT HOODIE SO BAD, SO BAD, I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU. Ugh. (OMG boys! Super sekrit birthday dinner, WHAT?)
What I did when I went to the States was open an account with a bank here that offers three fee-free withdrawals from any ATM in the world per year. ("Fee-free" is the important part, because omg, you'll pay out your nose for the awesome privilege of withdrawing money from a foreign country. It's RIDICULOUS.) I got an ATM card and then I just went to a bank over there and got money (enough to last me for a while) at the ATM there, and didn't have to pay extra for it. You could ask your bank if they offer a similar service?
