I went to a convention in Germany and so many booths etc were like cash only whereas in my country most booths have at least either card or mobile payment options in addition to cash. So then in the end I had to go to an ATM hahah. If I remember correctly, the only place I ended up paying with card was a kiosk where I bought some souvenir magnet (granted I had a local pay for me at the restaurant).

Then again, I'm already like a granny to my sister and friend because I haven't moved to mobile payment yet.
