    What kind of tourist walks around with 5K in dollars ? Drug dealers or hookers ?

    Normal tourists use ATM cards to get all the Euros they want.

    yeah I know what you are saying, I hope my family got it wrong

    but still the fact that it is happening with USD in small currency outlets is scary, we are not talking here Mongolian currency

    anyway, I didn't come here to fight with patriotic guys, I just posted what I heard

    I'll go for late night pizza now, good luck to all

  3. Well I don't sell drugs, and I'm pretty sure I am not a hooker, and I always bring at least 5k in dollars when I travel. I do it so I realize exactly what I am spending.

  7. Seriously though, there are reasons to carry cash. I started carrying cash when I was once traveling and found I was limited to taking out 200 dollars per day.

    When I got home I immediately went to my bank and asked them to raise it to 5000. They told me they would do it if I sign a piece of paper saying they are not responsible for fraud on my account.

  10. Exactly why you always need cash on deposit for the country in which you're traveling.
