Favorite Thing: one fact to get, Togo is a poor country, and for Togolese White people means rich people, so don't get shocked by their constant urge for money. But u will get to know that they are nice friendly people, at least not violent. if you don't wanna pay for something u just say it. that's it no strings attached.
Favorite Thing: if you r buying anything from the street, like souvenirs or so, be sure to Bargain. sometimes they go mad with prices, just have the skill and the patience to do it and you will have a good deal for both of you
Favorite Thing: Banks usually close from 12:00 to 3:00 PM and on sat. and Sun. the easiest way to change money is at Le grand March, a 1 min walk from Palm beach hotel. u will find them anytime, just check the bank rates before you go.
Favorite Thing: it didn't happen to but but just take care. when they give u the money it is in stacks of ten bills with the tenth wrapping the other nine, check your money well and make sure it's the right amount. do not give him your money unless u r sure u've got yours. and ask him to check your money in front of u. don't change large amounts at a time. Better safe than sorry
