Some things you may need to know:

 

Travelling Insurance: please arrange for your own travelling insurance and the type of cover you would like.

 

Travellers Cheques:  Your bank may require several weeks notice to order Travellers Cheques. There is only one bank that will exchange traveller’s cheques. The Bank of China.

 

Euros are accepted and can be exchanged in any bank. A lot of traders will also accept them or US Dollars

 

Credit Cards: you can pay for goods in most large stores by credit card; however you will get a much better deal paying for cash in the smaller shops. I am waiting for confirmation that our Hotel can be paid for by credit card. The Hotel will NOT accept credit card payments.
