Question about how to give an allowance overseas
This content is machine-translated.
When I go to restaurants or bars in decent hotels overseas, women often approach me and the conversation may turn into something like, “How about tonight?”
In Thailand and other parts of Asia, I usually bring a fair amount of Japanese yen in cash, so I can pay the allowance in cash. But in the US and EU, I generally don’t carry much cash since a credit card is all I need. My credit card’s cash-advance limit isn’t very high, and I don’t use personal checks, so I’m unable to give them the allowance.
In situations like this, do you all travel with cash on hand? It’s not as though this kind of situation happens every time, and I feel it would be wasteful to carry around a large amount of cash unnecessarily.
If there are any other payment methods, I’d appreciate your suggestions.
I’m thinking of around $800–$2,000.
