b) telling the bus driver, where you get to a good start, but not always work. Most do not speak English well enough to understand you. Do you have an idea of where you go before you come. Find attractions.
c) You will not stop, you can if you ask. Do not assume that all the stops.
d)To avoid abuse you must take a bus to a sign of body parts.
e) Cheapest tour in Cancun so enjoy.

Miscellaneous. Stuff
Do not drink the water, even if the hotel has a purified water system, has a strange taste and really did not know the cleaning and maintenance of water treatment plants, are often not well maintained. Mexican bottled water is 3.1price. Do not tell people on the street: "YO VIVO A KEY" means, I live here. taxi in front of them in. If you have a problem, take its number from the machine and report to their hotel. Use environmentally friendly sunscreen when in national water parks. No one changes his mind a restaurant. "Oh, that the restaurant is closed" or "My uncle owns a better one." My favorite is' Are you sure that you eat there? "Every restaurant pays a commission porters, taxis, travelduplication of staff, a porter, reception staff, waitresses, shopkeepers, iguanas, sharks, monkeys, etc. The Commission will be as high as 15% of the bill and, of course, that the fee to see the price could be added. 97% of restaurants will pay. Most people speak 'JOB English means "they get when answering questions of that day. Speak slowly and clearly. Do not use unusual words. Do not expect to understand all of your accent.
ocean temperature is 80F year round, Jump In! Cross the roadis not a right, is a challenge. NOT have the right, so in a cross walk or at a red light. Being on the defensive. Taxis and buses are not trained and I believe that the road holds 3 things;
1) Your car, 2) their rubbish and 3) The right of precedence. To ensure that when crossing the road. Use sunscreen even on a cloudy day.
If you have two hours from the pyramids of Egypt would you go? If so, go to Chichen-Itza.

Amazing how many stores have not changed and it is your fault. ATM, credit card slips are in pesos, do not worry if you see all those zeros Watch out for hot sauce! And 'the day after the bite. Well, bite ... How best can speak Spanish? Drink more tequila! Best thing to do? Stand watch at 6:30 and walk on the beach. THE BEST! When someone says "I understand," heno. It 'so simple.
