Phillip,
This is the main change from the US. In the US it is entirely
practical to carry only plastic and no cash at all.
This is mostly right, but maybe not universally true. Imagine my
surprise when I walked to a cab at LAX and asked to be taken to the
Anaheim hotel. First, I had apparently not read enough 77attendees list
to realize that its a LONG way from the airport. Second, the cab refused
to take credit cards. I had cash, of course. I was already under the
impression that paying cabs with cash is necessary in the US. But it
took a big dent to my cash reserves.
Lessons: 1) its useful to be aware of where you are going and what form
of transport is appropriate 2) you always need cash, no matter where you
go. If its not the cab its the coke machine, train or something else.
