Final comments
Keep on smiling. Sometimes you might think something goes to slow (visa extention) But just keep cool and make contact with the employees at the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation.
Don't get fooled by taxidrivers, who think you are a stupid tourist. Ask if they can start the metre (30 pesos - 2005).
