It is a good idea to bring cash if possible, since the banks ask for 5% commission to change travellers cheques. Unless Western Union Transfer is used, bank transfers take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive. It is difficult to use personal cheques also. The banks need at least 1 month (usually 6 weeks) to realize a personal cheque.
