Fair enough - I have a brother who is also in this business (who doesn't travel anywhere without his Reuters currency pager, which becomes annoying since he is constantly looking at it like a watch!). I've just always shyed away at his suggestions from currency speculation.

Anyway, back to the topic, while Egypt is the lowest, Thailand is going to be the better place for me to start my (first) RTW for logistical reasons. Thanks to everyone here for all the info on the subject, it will be put to good use as I plan this thing.
