Yeah I'm curious as to who did the number crunching and decided it would make for good business to open up shop. I always assumed people brought what they needed with them, not that you could pop into a Dick's Sporting Goods down there to pick up a spare jacket or tent if you left yours at home.

I knew of the ATM in Antartica but I did not know that the ATM in Ein Bokek (Which I have been to) was the lowest. If I would have known at the time. I would've withdrew some cash :D Maybe the ATM operator needs to put a sign up of this fact, they would collect so much more ATM operator fees if tourists would realise this fact.

No, I assumed that when stationed - cash would not be paid for what I also assumed would be mostly caffeteria meals, which would be part of your package.

Stop assuming you know what people are thinking *facepalm*
