Travel Tips

We recommend not to drink from the faucet. Although safe for bathing and normal use, it's not necessarily good to drink. Bottled water can be bought from many different sources as you travel through the countryside.

You can't haggle for everything. Such places as departments stores or any modern day shopping facility does not usually allow haggling.
