So did you get a free session? "Sorry Roberto, this is all I have"

This is one of the strange things that occur in Costa Rica. Banks and merchants routinely give you colones notes that are dirty, torn, written on, etc. They should have been removed from circulation long ago.

However, give them a US bill and they will examine it with great care. Should it have the slightest tear, mark or other imperfection it will be rejected. The higher the denomination of the bill the more careful the inspection and the higher chance of it being rejected.

I always bring 50 dollar bills. When I go to the bank and request them, I ask for the newer style 50s in excellent condition. It's difficult however, to find bills that are without the typical iodine streaks where they have been repeatedly tested in American stores for counterfeit.

Good God I feel like an idiot! I only know about 2 things in life, pu*sy and money. I exchange all of my money at HDR. Phuck, i even left the Morazan to go to HDR to exchange.

Someone needs to shoot idiots like me.
