This is different from all other markets in that people do not buy things here such as clothes, shoes, or cars.
Thanks to this, people can easily exchange one country’s money with that of another. People desire to make such exchanges for many reasons. Some are concerned with
the import or export of goods or services between one country and another. Others wish to move capital from one area to another. Still others may want to travel to a
foreign country. This is incredibly important to the global economy. This gets influenced by a real world event, and has an impact on the economy of a nation, causing the
value of its money to rise and fall.

Flying over rural Kansas in an airplane one fall evening was a delightful experience for passenger Walt Morris.
He watched the twinkling farmhouse lights below.
Suddenly, the peace of the evening was broken when the plane’s landing lights started flashing on and off. ‘What’s happening?’ he wondered as he gripped the armrests.
As the pilot was about to make an announcement, he thought, ‘This is it. He’s going to tell us we’ve got a
major problem.’ Instead, he told the passengers, “In case you’re worried about the flashing lights outside the
plane, I’m sending a signal to my kids.” He was relieved to hear the continued announcement: “They’re at
home over on that hill to the left, and they just sent me a Morse code message saying, ‘Good night, Dad.’ ”

If you are worrying about money when you are away, your enjoyment will suffer. Plan your budget in advance
to give yourself time to research the costs fully. If you cannot get confirmed prices, get as many estimates as you can. Note the best price and the worst price and budget
in between the two. Ideally, the budgeted figures will work out just about right. If they don’t, you will have to use your emergency fund to cover basic expenses such as food, transport, and accommodation, and there will be less money available for an unexpected situation that necessitates a sudden change of plan. So, be sure to make your
budget realistic, so that you can be confident that you will be able to pay for all aspects of the trip.
