Yes, I could get cash easily ... but I don't want to, especially since I'll only be there for 24 hours. Since the rise of Uber I very rarely get any foreign cash out when traveling unless I'm going to be somewhere for an extended period, and sometimes not even then (since taxis were often the only remaining reason cash was needed in many places). Not taking out cash avoids the difficulties of figuring out how much one needs and inevitably ending up with too much and wasting it at duty free or on a lousy currency exchange rate.
