been traveling all over the planet for 60 years . traveled across the planet before " lonely planet " didn't need .. rarely saw travelers traveling with NOK
and wandering at the last minute if they can change them for any kind of local currency .
otherwise if you really don't understand the words " respect" , and " dress properly " . then do as you feel . and stop complaining about the consequences like so many people pretending to be "travelers" love to .!!!
