Plastic cards

One thing that I didn't want to forget to write about, which still surprises me:

plastic cards (visa, etc.) are widely accepted here, at least in the restaurants/bars/clubs and in the shops. It is very convenient as the fee for these transactions is only 1,65% of the amount, when withdrawal fee is 3,5 euro (for my bank).

Still to improve: my swedish bank card doesn't seem to work for booking flights. I was told it might be because the card is issued abroad. So far nobody helped me with this issue. So if you know the way to book the tickets here with a foreign card - please let me know!
