Travel Tips
- If you plan to do any driving don’t touch that phone. It is illegal to use your cell phone while driving; additionally, no right turn on red lights!
- Dress warmly, the climate is cool.
- Keep your receipts, they can be requested by inspectors when you’re leaving a store, and if you don’t have it you can be fined.
- Pirated goods may seem like a good deal, but if you have to leave them at customs when you leave the country you will be sadly disappointed. Be sure to avoid counterfeited goods.
- Don’t leave valuables in plain sight when you leave your car. Automobile break-ins are fairly common.
