This town is expensive - I spent so much the first week that I was freaking - You need to bring some big bucks if you want to have a fun time. This is like New York prices except for maybe beer - everything else is pricey

Use your ATM card and make sure that you don't get hit with a big commission - don't bother with traveler's check's or changing money in banks

The Discos/ Nightclubs charge over-price for the drinks!! Wherever the locals eat/ drink, you'll find GOOD quality food/ drinks, for less money..
