[QUOTE=BangoCheito;2376788]1) When you use a US credit card in ANY foreign country ALWAYS select USD. That's a worldwide scam they have going there.[/QUOTE]Incorrect advice. You get an extra 3.5% charged. If you have a bad card, that bank will charge you a 3.0% foreign conversion charge. A good card will not charge extra. Never heard of a US credit card scam. Visa / Mastercard protects the customer.

But the problem is that the waiter will be all over you when you enter the club. Girl might be hesitant to say anything. Another good source is usually the bartender.
[QUOTE=BangoCheito;2376786]Guys, beers at PH are 6 k. They just went up from 5 k about 6 months ago.[/QUOTE]We are both incorrect. Poker beer is 6 K. Club Colombia and the others are 7 K. The prices are listed on the table.
Not all waiters will scam the tourist. I had an honest waiter last night.
