Does that cover hotel and food? Hotel would run you a little over US$1100, food will cost you around US$25-30 a day. I think it SHOULD be enough as long as you don't live large and spend large, but I won't suggest bringing that amount of money ON you when you go there.

Instead, find out if you have a bank card that will work with international banking machines there, you can withdraw cash from it the same way you would at home. You can find these machine at the airport or postal office. Some suggested that specific banks also have these machines, but I have yet to see one
