- Tipping is not required to the roundest 10,000 is fine
- Go exchange your money in a jewelry store I found you get a better rate
- When crossing the street walk slow let the bikes/cars move around you you dont bother moving or you will get hurt
- Barganing is a must when dealing with the street vendors

My ex wife always took this veiw when we went to Mexico, it would always piss me off she would try and get some useless peice of cheap crap for 50 cents instead of a dollar off some poor ####### that lived on less money in a year than I would spend on a few weeks booze and videos.
In the end I don't want to get the absoloute cheapest price I can off someone who lives from hand to mouth, I am blest to be a Canadian.
