I had a minor amount of culture shock when I went to an ATM in Switzerland today. In the US, if you go to an ATM the default amounts to withdraw are $20, $40, etc up to $200 or so. When I went to the ATM here, the default amounts to withdraw in CHF were 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or 1000.

You know, I need some walking around money, I guess I’ll get a thousand bucks out of the atm?
