travellers' checks

[secretsatan13.livejournal.com]

So I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I'd rather not assume anything and I'm having a hard time discerning from elsewhere....

Do the vendors who don't accept credit cards accept travellers' checks?
I'm weary of carrying around a lot of cash. (I don't have the best of luck with wallets, historically speaking.) And I don't want to be assed out if a wad of money goes missing early on.

I am aware that, technically speaking, anyone who accepts cash *should* accept the travellers' checks, but I am also aware that some corners of the world tend to be something special.

thanks.

The ATMs do start to run out near the end of the weekend, but it's unusual for all of the ones in the immediate area to run out. Even if the hotels and food court ones go dry, there are multiple other options along the streets around the hotels. You do have to plan carefully, like doing most of your buying earlier in the weekend. :)

Yes. My actual bank has a branch right across from the host hotels, though I've never actually used it.

Mine has an ATM right in the food court.
