    1. It is not that easy to open it in your name.
    2. Higher interest rate never comes without higher risk. You will have at least two kinds of risk related to currency exchange fluctuation and financial institution reliability. You can either earn more or lose more. And you will not have any protection.
    3. Forget about it ...:)
