hey there fellow travelers mark you as
well to certain state we're in Cancun
Mexico no I'm not on the beautiful
beaches here today the winds a bit much
but the lagoon is right over there where
we're staying and see we have for you
were the things you don't do when you
are here in Cancun because it is a
really great place to come there's all
kinds of cool stuff to do like you know
going to church needs and hit the beach
and having margaritas but there's things
you don't want to do so that's what we
want to focus on today all right now the
first one we have view is don't drink
the water
yes I know you've heard that all of our
Mexico don't drink the water that is
true here as well in Cancun you might
not get sick if you do have it but just
stay away from it they sell bottled
water everywhere it's cheap it's easy to
get there's lots of little kiosk and
stores all around the all around all
around the city that you can get water
at so don't drink the water
but what's cool is here use number two
donuts you don't have to worry too much
about the ice which is awesome so yes
you can have your frozen margaritas or
what I like to have is my tequila with
grapefruit soda whether it's a fresco or
a grapefruit Fanta totally got to have
it it's awesome with the tequila and
some ice in there it's fantastic and you
don't have to worry about the ice
because usually that gets purified here
so you're okay there so there's your
first two don't okay now the third don't
I have is don't get pressured when you
get off the plane look when you fly into
Cancun and you come out of departures
you know you get your bags you got your
passport stamps all those kind of things
when you walk out you are going to be
flooded with people you want to run a
car maybe you want to get a timeshare
maybe you want to sign up for
all-inclusive or maybe you want to ride
home and it sound you've all these
people coming at you and do not get
flustered by it just be prepared to say
no good s yes no gracias
no good as yes no thank you okay because
you will get hammered with people when
you come out of that departures hall so
one of the advice I have for you is also
with that don't take a taxi from the
airport make sure when you sign up for
your hotel your all-inclusive or
wherever you're going to stay ask them
if they can set up a driver for you to
pick you up at the airport because the
taxis from the airport are a lot more
expensive because not normal taxes can't
go there they're special taxes to come
into town and they do charge a lot but
if you arrange the ride with your hotel
you're going to have somebody there
holding a sign saying mark Walters or
Walter's family and what's cool is then
when people ask you Oh timeshare or
attached them
I have somebody waiting for me I have
somebody waiting for me and it makes it
so much easier to kind of get through
all that hustle and bustle but just
don't get pressured when you come round
because you will be like oh my god
what's going on here okay now the fourth
tone I have for you is don't always take
the first price as the final price look
you might want to go into town and go to
the Mercado 28 or let's have a deal
chill or maybe you're trying to get a
Tolu or something like that look the
first price that give you a lot of times
is not the final price so make sure you
might want to bargain you know if you
see a mask you like or you see or the
Day of the Dead does that suit looks
really cool look can we do to adjust the
price well I think it's worth this you
know you might want to negotiate some of
those things now not everything is
negotiable or you go to the supermarket
or a restaurant those aren't but if you
go into the markets and the tour is a
lot of times you can hey can you help me
out here me look I get a second one free
or something like that you know you want
to talk and you wanted to go she ate in
bargain because it can save you a lot of
money and they know that and the thing
is that can be on taxes as well before
you get in the taxi make sure you guys
hey how much is it going to cost
because you don't just get in and get
there you ask me what's it going to be
next oh it's going to be $15 to the you
know the from the hotel district to the
center I'm like what about okay what
about 200 pesos like ten dollars okay
that's fine you know you can de go she
ate these things down so don't be scared
to negotiate and don't take that first
price is the final price all the time
another job I have you were here in
Cancun is if you look into excursions
there's tons and tons of places so
excursions your hotel will people on the
streets is kiosk and a brand stores to
do it but make sure if you do do it if
you buy one on the street you probably
will get a better price but there's a
chance that might be a scam or something
like that so you do want to be careful
so if you are going to be booking make
sure you get telephone numbers who's
really doing the tour all these kind of
things these guarantees because you
could miss out yesterday when we were
getting ready to go to church Anita
there was a guy there when his wife
they've been waiting for over an hour
for there two of us to show up and when
the hotel actually called the company
like we never heard anything from them
and it turns out they have signed up
with somebody outside a wall
and they didn't know you do want to be
careful now the thing is you could you
want
sample from your hotel which is usually
safe it's bad because you always have
somebody can complain too but they tend
to be more expensive without getting the
discount so do be careful with that now
my fifth zone for you is don't forget
your sunblock look you may say well I'm
not a beach goer I'm not going to sit at
the beach I'm going to go to Chichen
itzá and see the Mayan ruins there I'm
going to go Tulum and I'm going to go
see the center of the city and do these
kind of things from I'm going to say am
i all inclusive and drink and have fun
look the Sun here is hot and it's strong
and the thing is it's nice here all year
round look we're here in February okay
the beginning of February so this hold
of time of the year right
it's in the 80s and we're talking like
high high 20s you know for my for myself
your friends you've got great weather
here with really strong Sun so make sure
you bring your sunblock and the thing is
if you're going to stay at all-inclusive
those sun block prices you know your $5
sunblock you have at home at you know
Walgreens or whatever it can be twenty
thirty dollars here so make sure you
bring that sunblock and don't forget to
put it on whether you're going to to
lune or you're going to mother much or
you go to Chichen Itza make sure you
lather on and put it on multiple times
because it will wear off because I've
seen a lot of really lobstery tourists
here while we've been here okay and it's
February now my six don't for you is
don't worry if you don't get the peso
look you can actually pay with dollars
pretty much everywhere here in Cancun
which is really nice because you have a
hard time sometimes finding ATMs
actually give out pesos I found plenty
here in the hotel district that will
give out dollars but if you want to get
pesos you really got to search for when
it does that here in the hotel district
and what sucks is if you take out
dollars from the ATM dollar machines
here not only they charge you like you
know a big fee to do it they also give
you a bad exchange rate and they charge
you a commission on top of that so for
example today I had to pay for a bunch
of Tours I didn't have any other no one
was taking a credit card for the tours I
had to pay cash so I need to get out
$400 when I took out 400 us from the ATM
here with the fees it turned out to be
four hundred and forty dollars I took
out so ten percent on the $400 man that
is a pretty huge you know ATM fee so if
you want bring some dollars when you are
here because you can pay with that
and for the tours it makes a lot easier
you pay in cash what's cool is you think
dollars or pesos when you pay in cash
usually you can negotiate a better deal
so that does help you out but you don't
have to worry if you don't have faces
it's okay a lot of please actually do
take credit cards but not all the tour
things do in smaller restaurants we've
actually seen lots places that have so
that is very nice so that does help out
but don't worry if you don't get paints
those you can pay with dollars pretty
much everywhere here in Cancun oh but I
will add it they'll give you change back
in pesos which is good to have because
when you're going to be tipping or
you're going to be you know taking taxes
and stuff sometimes these used to pay in
pesos that way so you'll have some there
but but don't get too worried about it
my seventh don't for you is don't go to
the presentation look I told you about
those people selling timeshares and and
tours and all these kind of things at
the as a happy airport look they're all
over town too and what will happen is
you'll see oh I want to do a church
needs to tour and if swimming with the
dolphins through like well it's two
hundred dollars for one person but if
you go to the presentation hahaha if you
go the presentation will give you four
tickets for the price of one but you
only have to go for an hour or an hour
and a half and you don't have to buy
anything no these are high-pressure
sales pitches and they are an hour long
or an hour and a half long they can go
multiple hours and they will be horrible
so what you need to do is remember I
said that first price is not always the
last price so what you do is think no
I'm not going to sign up for these
things I wanted the tour but I'm going
to walk away we ended up walking away
got a huge discount on the stuff I
didn't have to do the tours or sorry I
do the presentation for all these kind
of things but honestly do not sign up
for them do not do them don't do it okay
don't no matter what it's how could the
deal sounds it's never that good of a
deal so find other options all right now
the eights don't for here in Cancun is
don't just stay at your resort whether
you're an all-inclusive Resort or you're
at a hotel that looks over the lagoon
with a nice pool and restaurant like we
have look you need to get out you need
to explore there's not just the hotel
zone and the beach yes the beach is
awesome here don't worry but you can go
on let's go to see some lettuce go check
out that island or what's more important
is go and see some of the history here
in the Yucatan Peninsula
you can take tours and go to Chichen
itzá one of the seven wonders of the
world to see the pyramids there and see
where they played the basketball
football thing that you know the hoop up
there and really cool tours we're going
to Tulum you can see on the the
beachfront with the tower there and
stuff like that
there are walk the steps of Cole but
there's so many cool Mayan sites around
here but not just mine stuff you can get
out there's water park there's equal
parks go swim with dolphins I mean
there's so many really cool things to do
around here but you don't just have to
stay in your all-inclusive resort get
out a little explore because it really
can code is so much more than just the
beaches and resorts so make sure you
don't just it's not waste your time
having a good time there but take that
chance to learn some of the cultures
check some of things out you'll hit the
Mercado 28 downtown and go eat there and
go find some silly souvenirs or cool
souvenirs that are out there because it
is worth it so yes the uncles are really
fun and the hotels are nice but you got
to get out and explore more now my night
don't for you is specifically for my
people staying at those all-inclusive
resorts you'll see people wearing
wristbands around town and stuff like
that that is kind of their entry and
exit ticket to their all-inclusive
resorts if you lose that don't lose it
but some places if you do lose it they
actually make you pay like 75 100 bucks
or something like that to get a new one
out there because think about it if
someone else gets that they get to walk
on this walk into the all-inclusive eat
all they want drink all they want no big
deal because I've got the wristband so
make sure you do not lose that because
that could be a pricey lot now we're
tense ago is actually something I saw a
couple guys doing last night
look I know Cancun is great for party
whether it's Spring Break or or New
Year's and stuff like that but do not
pee in public okay I mean I saw guys get
any other couch like hey guys come on
because you'll see the police here don't
don't work that's when they don't worry
about the police because they were there
lights are on their lights are always on
that's how it is but don't pee in public
that's probably the one way most stores
actually get in trouble when they are
here so just don't do that okay because
yeah that's that really if I cool here
alright so don't do that get to the
hotel get to the bathroom and do those
things and my 11th don't for you is
don't forget to tip your waiters your
bartenders the maids to clean your room
because those people really do survive
off the tips that tourists leave for
them so if you're not sure your waiter
you're living between ten and twenty
percent okay or fifteen to twenty
percent you make it easier for my
forearm
American print also your your bartenders
you know if you're going to get a drink
even so all-inclusive you can throw them
a dollar here there sometimes they say
no tips that's fine but tip a book or so
a drink and stuff like that it does make
a difference but also the maids to clean
your room you do want to clean the you
you want to leave a tip for them usually
suggest between 50 and 100 pesos
dump it it's literally tipping pesos
okay but 50 to 100 pesos per day for
your hotel room and the messy you are
reads a little bit extra because it's
you're a dirty dirty person that makes
messes everywhere and you drink too much
tequila left I picked it everywhere you
know what you can leave them a little
bit more because honestly you know 100
pesos is like five bucks okay so just to
give you an idea and it does make a big
difference for them anyway I hope you
like your don'ts about coming to Cancun
it is a really cool place don't worry
about it it's actually oh here's an
extra 1/12 don't don't be scared to come
to Cancun Cancun is probably safest
place in Mexico it's a safer them a lot
of place you go around the world you'll
be fine here lots of police lots of
stuff private security if you want those
things but it is a really cool place and
a safe place to come so do come here
don't worry about it but do have a great
time when you were here I'm not going to
worry but I don't worry about it because
Cancun really is a great place it's
going to learn more five things you're
