However, I have not needed to use it yet since I have enough money for the moment from my Peace Corps stipend and from exchanging some USD in cash that I brought here with me. And yes, the atms charge a small fee for withdrawals. If you have more specific questions, I suggest that you ask someone who works for Wells Fargo because I am not sure exactly what the fee is.Jinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030657475414094415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557848729847319376.post-61343774075308621772010-12-29T16:02:03.067-08:002010-12-29T16:02:03.067-08:00are you able to use your Wells Fargo atm card in U...are you able to use your Wells Fargo atm card in Ukraine?

Yeah, my p...Boston - wow that seems kind of random! Yeah, my placement officer asked me weird questions like "how do you feel about living in cold weather" or "how do you feel about living in a country where women aren't treated as equals in society". I definitely felt like I waited forever before I got my invitation, and I had no clue where I was going to be placed (I was just hoping for a country in Eastern Europe that didn't end with -stan). My suggestion to you is to post your comment about being asked if you know how to swim on the PeaceCorps2 Yahoo group forum, there are a lot of RPCVs that read that forum regularly and one of them may be able to answer your question better than I can... stay excited, I'm sure your Invitation will come soon!Jinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02030657475414094415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557848729847319376.post-85990273672186570832010-09-16T08:17:02.506-07:002010-09-16T08:17:02.506-07:00So jealous you're so close to going!

Or maybe a place with frequent flooding? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?!! And I know they say this is the time to practice an important quality in a Peace Corps volunteer - PATIENCE - but OMG I just want to know where I'm going!!! Did you feel like this before you got your invitation?Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712613653523845320noreply@blogger.com
