[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741053, member: 18958"] Hi Nomad OK. I looked at a couple of cost of living calculators. A mid range dinner for two would be $66 to $91. I do not know what mid range is. I think if it were me and I really cared about the friend, which you obviously do, if I could I would send $100 (to $150 at most). In the high priced metro near me that would be enough to have a nice dinner that would feel special with a glass of wine each. But it would not be ostentatious. Which to me is better. I would be thrilled if somebody thought enough of me to do this for me. Just thrilled. There are all kinds of ways to send money internationally online. Here are a few: American Express, Transferwise, Google Wallet, Xoom (paypal). The one I have used is Xoom. The exchange rate today is 76 pounds for $100. I think that would be generous. [/QUOTE]
