Trains & Money

9/28/12
We bought that 3 day rail pass for about 25 euros apiece, & we've yet to be checked.  So far, we could have done all our train rides for free if we were dishonest.  Dana told us agents randomly check people for tickets, but we've never seen that happen.  It's the honor system, for the most part.  We have our tickets at the ready, however!

Another thing we've noticed is that it seems to be a nearly all-cash society both in Frankfurt & here in Berlin.  We've not seen anyone paying with credit cards in restaurants or stores, so we haven't tried to either.  Thank goodness for convenient ATM's & banks.  Even at Ikea while making a major purchase, Dana had to pay with cash.  No credit cards accepted.
