By Marc Entz If you enjoy traveling to exotic places, you must know the basic customs of the countries you visit. Prepared travelers have more fun! Get yourself a planning guide, and familiarize yourself with the area you want to visit first. If you are going to Mexico for a vacation in the sun, here is a checklist of tips to make your trip go smoothly: 1. Make sure you have a photo identification card (such as a passport or a driver's license), your tourist card (which is proof of your permission to visit Mexico), and your proof of citizenship. 2. Learn to speak Spanish. Spanish is the main language spoken in Mexico. Although some residents can communicate in and understand English, Spanish is still the language spoken for trade and commerce. It is easy to learn, and once you have familiarized yourself with sentence construction, you can easily converse with the locals using an English/Spanish dictionary. 3. Take note of the following items that are allowed to be brought into Mexico: 4. Before entering Mexico, there are two forms to be filled out. It is better to have a black pen for these. The first one is the temporary visa. The second form is for the customs and taxation department called 'Hacienda'. These are usually distributed at the airline ticket counter or while on the plane. 5. Although there are businesses that accept foreign currency, make sure that you have some Mexican Pesos. Credit cards with the MasterCard, VISA and AmEx logo are also accepted. Bring traveler's checks for safe access to more money. 6. Store photocopies of your tickets and a list of traveler's checks in a location different than the original documents. 7. Drink bottled water or sufficiently boiled water. Never drink tap water - under any circumstances. Before eating fruits and vegetables, wash these in a purifying solution, peel them, and cook them. Make your trip to Mexico a safe and enjoyable one. Follow these tips, and your vacation will be pleasant and memorable! This article may be reprinted in full. The resource box and hyperlink must remain intact.
