Well actually, bring the money, in particular: US dollars!
One of the more frequently asked questions we get here at the Training School is how much money should I bring? This is a tough one to answer as it depends on the person-some people can get away with not spending much and others will want to shop 'til they drop in New York.
A good rule of thumb is to bring about $150USD in cash for the week. This will cover purchases in the school store-including the New York City tour, snacks from our Cultural Care Kids First Foundation "Snack Shack", any trips across the street to the grocery store, rental of a hair dryer or alarm clock and again, that ever popular shopping in NYC. If you are flying to your host family you may also incur some luggage fees that can be paid either in cash or by credit card the day you travel.
Be sure to change the money before you arrive as at the School we currently do not accept credit/debit cards and there are no local banks that can change foreign currencies.
