You can actually do this using vidalia / tor (https://www.torproject.org/vidalia/ ) The vidalia GUI lists various servers and countries of origin which are used for routing traffic. The trick is it identify country specific servers as exit nodes (e.g. if you want to route through norway... identify a couple of norwegian nodes in vidalia...) Then edit the 'torrc' file used by vidalia and add the following settings : StrictExitNodes 1 ExitNodes server1.no, server2.no, server3.no Where server1.no etc... are the nodes you identified earlier.... (Of course the biggest caveat here is that a malicious exit node can run a plain text sniffer - to sniff all unencrypted http traffic )

Actually Matere, I think my post was a bit misleading, I have two accounts one in US and one out of Kenya. So I am able to send money from the kenya account to the US account then withdraw from there but you cannot withdraw directly from the kenya account. So paypal allows you to withdraw 3 ways in the US they have their debit card, transfer to bank or they can mail you a check. Hope that clears the air on this.
