• Traveler's checks (caveats)
  • Not as good of an exchange rate
  • Fee involved when purchasing and exchanging
  • Don't carry your receipts with you; rather, keep 'em with the copy of your passport in your room
• Credit cards/debit cards widely accepted and offer the best exchange rate often w/o a fee
  • Though if you are eating with a group, be prepared to pay with cash in order to make things easier as some places will not split bills
    • We often took turns paying with credit card, having others pay each other back with cash. It meant far fewer trips to the cash machine, and was easier on the wait staff.
• Don't count/display money in public
• Carry small amount of money in pocket for street-item purchases and the rest in your wallet
• Don't take all of your money with you (use a room safe, etc.)
