I'm putting this link up entirely for myself, so I don't lose it

On previous trips abroad, I've relied on this method for getting my VAT taxes back:

1. Upon deplaning, find the baggage claim area
2. Collect baggage
3. Kneel down next to the baggage carousel
4. Start pounding head on ground
5. After some blood, my VAT refund money will pour out of my forehead

There is another method, involving filling out forms, but that one has always seemed more difficult.

Here's my link to study up - a necessity if the dollar is going to stay where it's been.
