1. Travelers are recommended to get the local currency when they go shopping. Large department stores and supermarkets usually accept non-cash payments. Shopping centers often have discounted prices for clothing of old collections, so travellers can purchase high quality items at very reasonable prices.

3. In order to rent a car, tourists will need a driving license of the international standard, a proof of identity, and a credit card with the required amount of collateral in the account. Persons under 21 years, and drivers, who obtained the license less than a year ago, may be rejected to rent a car.
4. When you plan to visit new friends, make sure to get small gifts for the hosts. A bouquet of flowers and a bottle of good wine will be quite appropriate, but stronger spirits should be avoided.
6. Tourists should be quiet in public places and give free vent to temperament. Try to avoid gestures while talking. Such behavior can be regarded as a sign of bad education. Indigenous people love kids, so kids are given full freedom in the city.
