If, for any reason, you run out of local currency, you can always pay using dollars. Keep that in mind and always have a wad of banknotes with you wherever you go.

Keeping silent is just an opportunity for the driver to give any price he feels like when the time comes to pay, and as you can expect, he’ll probably give you a number that could considerably lighten your wallet,
This might seem like an oddity, but when heading to small towns or villages, wear as little bright clothes as possible. Likewise, don’t wear low-necked clothes, especially if you’re a woman. Reason? You could experience some form of hostility-nothing too extreme, but the townsfolk might not be too appeased with your fashion choice, provoking some manner of negative reaction from them. Hey, when in Rome, do as Rome says, right?
