There are many speed bumps there, and they vary greatly: single, double, triple, high, shallow, homemade, unpredictable, unmarked (like the twilight speed bump surprise), and so on. But overall, it&#039;s all fun \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mexico City<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s best to change money at the airport. Surprisingly, the exchange rate is noticeably worse throughout the rest of the country.<br \/>\nTaxis in Mexico City are cheap (comparable to Izhevsk), but again, if you take a taxi from the airport, you&#039;ll get ripped off. Mexicans generally love to rip you off.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the Garibaldi Hotel; it was lovely. Its biggest advantage is its location. Right next to Garibaldi Square, with its wild mariachos (Mexican musicians), or whatever they&#039;re called, who are always eager to play for you.
