Not in my experience. Generally speaking you can ask the pharmacist for medicine either by active ingredient or brand name (in which case they may suggest the generic alternative)

Kind of a wide-ranging question. Why don't you start here:

And get back if you have any specifics you want cleared up?

Wow. Once again that mixture of stubbornness and incompetence that only $50 seems to be able to cut through.

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but just for our edification: why can't the passenger just sign it back into your name?

I would have thought that if anything the free map market in Xela was saturated. Are you saying that of the 3+ that are out there you find them all lacking (in which case it would be interesting to hear why) or is it that you just can't find distributing points (in which case xelapages, el cuartito,...

Hi Claire,

the hot springs that I have been to on the lake are actually closer to San Antonio and you can't get to them from the road. They are very hot though and well worth the effort.

Where are you going that you think you'll need a military-grade escort? Mazate again?

You can get stove top espresso makers and even replacement parts at Cemaco and sometimes wal mart. They're more expensive than back home. They don't take up much space (even the 20 cup ones) are reasonably light and very durable. I'd suggest throwing one in your backpack before you leave. Benchtop g...

I would ask Fernando who plays with soltura on Saturdays at Royal Paris. He knows pretty much every muso in Xela. Your best chance of getting a quality guitar is finding someone who is selling one that they bought elsewhere. All the locally made stuff is like what you've found and like pretty much e...

Looks like it's been moved to November, but worth enquiring:

have fun!

as I recall, some of the buses that stop opposite the gas station a couple of blocks downhill from the park on 12 Av (see map below) go out to Las Rosas. But anybody working at the school he's volunteering at will be able to say for sure. http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=14.833292,-9...

it's not an MX plates thing - there's a big billboard entering Mexico at El Carmen that says something along the lines of "Guatemalan friend! If you have polarized windows please wind them down" Needless to say, as soon as they passed that regulation the cartels decided it was just all too much trou...
