The crypto entrepreneur, whose stablecoins have lost some $40 billion, was traveling under a false name and carrying \u201cforged Costa Rican passports and a separate set of Belgian passports.\u201d I\u2019m guessing he paid for the plane tickets with real cash\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Bad Brits Abroad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen several tourism boards toy with ads asking people not to visit a certain place, but Amsterdam\u2019s new campaign takes it a step further, telling young and rowdy British tourists that they are not welcome. \u201cThe online ads, highlighting the risks associated with the excessive use of drugs and booze, will be triggered when people in Britain tap in terms like stag party, cheap hotel or pub crawl Amsterdam.\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-65107405\">See the full story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Turkish Lira Still Declining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We noted at the end of the year that the Turkish lira declined more than almost any other currency in 2022 and the trend has slowed but is still ugly: it hit a new low of 19 to the dollar this month. This time just two years ago it was 8 to the dollar. You might not see this reflected in items priced in foreign currency, like hotels and flights, but this certainly gives you plenty of buying power on the ground as a traveler. I\u2019ll be on a couple of the country\u2019s islands briefly after elections in May, which will determine if the country stays on the same path that got them here.
