you could also take TC's in the form of a debit card. most travel and forex agents will arrange this for you at the prevailing exchange rates. when you swipe this card the additional transaction cost is only $1.
adit.

You can carry upto 3.5 to 4k USD openly and that should get you a very
decent laptop indeed - high end macs, sony vaios etc.

theres a hassle you can always go to a nearby bank and redeem them there
