oh and smile a lot while walking around, and you will be walking a lot lol as you think big brother is taking over here? they got cameras all over the place over there. and armed military cops walking around with rifles. and they just stop anyone they deem fit for a paper work check. don't leave the hotel with out your pass port. ever!
on the good side, RX drugs at the drug stores are cheep, headache powder, antibiotics, stuff like that. they have this powdered antibiotic that you dust over a cut or wound, and it heals in twice the time, cool stuff over there that the US will never allow.
