true... but i used my bankcard there a couple of times and no charges other the the 2.50 they normally charge for pulling out of an ATM that doesn't belong to ur bank!

Travelers cheques are good yeah but i found them to be just a pain in the but to cash in! I hated carring my ID around with me everywhere... but if u do take T.C's cash them in the grocery stores and other shops... they don't charge u to cash them like the banks do...

but this is all from personally experience.:. so to each his own!
