I'm going to Hk & Taiwan next month. I'd like to know how you guys normally practiced on currency exchanging.

Do you guys:

1) Exchange a reasonable amount of HKD & NT and bring some USD just in case?
or
2) Exchange all to USD and change your money in the foreign country?
or
3) Bring less cash and use credit card most of the time for shopping?

4)What's the conversion rate for using credit card in foreign country?

5)Any good money changer in KL to recommend?
