I'd recommend to bring traveler-ch. and cash and not use the ATM, which suck commissions. Fruits, vegetables and fresh ingredients were too expensive and had no taste! OGM surprise!

Personal comments
There was a latino night club where we could dance salsa and meet many south american people...the rest of the clubs in Jacksonville were not that interesting. I'd say that the atmosphere was far from being exciting; the latino club was the best place so far. In Jacksonville, they don't know how to party...mainly due to the US law and the aggressivity of the police.
