Getting used to new money can be challenging, at least at first. Perhaps due to inflation, there are two more 0's in every transaction. Therefore, a bottle of water costs 650 colones which is really only about $1.30 or so. The girls are having a blast with the money, exchanging it, feeling it, asking if it's fake..."you're rich!" said Sage this morning. With thousands of colones in my purse it feels that way :) Too bad it can only buy a few beers...
