Hi i'm going to NY soon on a school trip for a week, i'm going to take $270 with me and was wondering what sort of things I could get which would work back in the UK. Also i have no idea how much things cost there :S

Thanks!

Well you need to remember that whatever you buy in New York, you need to use US dollars.

If you can, go to Canal street. You can apparently buy anything there.

Buy an Ipod since it uses USB. It won't get screwed up from the voltage, plus it will cost about half the price.

Or get a Zune, since it's not even out in the UK. Then you can feel special about having something no one else has. To bad you will have no money left after.

But wow, what a good class trip. I wish my HS had taked me to London/Madrid or something.......

See, I'm from NY and went the opposite way to visit you guys. Everything is so much more expensive over there, plus you'll get tons with the exchange rate as it is...but the worst part was gas.

Paying $7 a gallon absolutely killed my wallet...

Pigeon seeds are free, you can usually collect them around statues and lamp posts. They are little white and black blobs. Just kidding, I have no idea since 99% of the stuff we "make" can be bought almost anywhere else in the world.

I'm sure you can score some fake rolex's, get a cheap working girl and get some drugs all with that kind of cash. Don't go flashing it around though, you may get pickpocketed

drugs are harder to find in new york than you would think. if you want marijuana or crack you can get that in about 5 minutes if you are not concerned about the quality. but, if you want more exotic things, you have to know a "guy."
