Thank you very much, thats what i meant. Bassicly you´ll always get more for selling your own money to a bank in a foreign country than when buying foreign money in your own countries bank. Up till now that worked in most places. I must say that selling weak currencies after you come home might not work so well, that happend for example with the leftover thai baht when i came back to Germany. But if you have the Euro or Dollar youll be fine anywhere finding a good exchange rate. In China and Southamerika you will even get better rates than official if you sell privatly.

Cheers
