Money Hints When Traveling Abroad
No matter what country you are traveling in, carry extra change (in local currency) for unplanned-for expenses like public restrooms. Many are coin-operated; and not all have an attendant on duty to make change. Also, many public parking lots require exact change in local currency to get OUT of the parking lot! That change will also make a nice, inexpensive souvenir that doesn’t take up a lot of room.
Don’t expect a free printed program when attending a concert or play. Most printed programs or playbills abroad cost extra, unlike the free programs you are accustomed to in the United States.
Watch out for those hidden charges at restaurants! Ask if that bread basket on your table costs extra. (It might!) Ask if there is a cover charge. Those wonderful, elegant, and expensive “fine establishments” have the most hidden charges. Don’t assume ANYTHING!
