According to the law, you are allowed to legally bring in up to USD 10,000 with you. If you bring more than that USD 10,000, you have to fill in a special declaration (ON-28). If it is more than USD 10,000 1% duty is charged on it. However, this amount will have to be declared via your customs declaration form. (Rules may change so best to check before departure)

Credit cards (Amex, Visa and Master Card) are accepted in most of the hotels and restaurants here. However it is not a very well developed system, hence it is advisable to carry a good amount of cash with you as well, so as to avoid any troublesome situation. You may exchange you credit card for cash at some hotels but this is upon actual availability of local currency in the ATM at the time of withdrawal.

You are allowed to take photographs/video shooting everywhere, except where signs are indicating like in the metro & near the government building. It is better to ask before taking pictures.
