Money

Money in Mexico is ending up to be quite a trip for me. I'm still not quite sure how it works, but it's sure not the same as the US.

The prices of things is really crazy to me, some things are super cheap, then some things are really expensive. I'd guess that's bound to happen, but it's going to take a bit of time to adapt to it. While I can say it's a good thing, getting a full meal at a taco restaurant for cheaper than it costs for a combo meal the local Burger King is pretty interesting.

I also bought some headphones for my MP3 player for 16 pesos (about $12 USD, the exact same thing was $30 in California when I was there last. At least it looked like the same package and everything, and I bought it at the Radio Shack here.

On the other hand clothes and shoes are the opposite. Pretty much everything costs the same here as in the US, if not more. No bargains to be had here. Good thing I brought plenty!

I spent all day today getting familiar with the area, I feel I have a pretty good grasp of where most things are now. At least that really matter to me. I did find a bike rental shop, but didn't go in and ask about prices. I'll go tomorrow, if they are open.

The taco stands are out of control good. I've eaten at several of them now, I haven't gotten sick, yet. I'm knocking wood now!
