hey bro, just know the mexican names for the gear that you want. then just tell them how much you want. count on your fingers if you have to. most of them speak a little english. you should be fine. they will usually convert the pesos into dollars for you to. IP: Logged |

It's been my experience that the further away you get from the major cities the harder it will be to find people that speak english. As long as you have your product list in hand you will be okay. IP: Logged |

Write exactly what you want in English and Spanish on a piece of paper with amounts and prices en pesos and show it to them. Then you don't even have to say it out loud if you're scared of the federales. IP: Logged |

and learn the words "gracias", "por favor", "hola", etc., before you go. Its not like France, if you give it a shot and fail they won't call you an a**hole like the French do. IP: Logged |

Good topic, I was wondering this myself! Whenever I go, I'll just write a wishlist that falls down to my feet, with the product names, quanity, and chemical both in Englis y Espanol. And have them bring out a whole cartload of anabolics for me to choose from. My Spanish isn't that good.

This past weekend in TJ I was getting my girlfriend some cynomel and the guy could not understand and gave me a pen and some paper to write it down. They will work with you; So don't sweat it. L8R IP: Logged |

when me and my buddy went we just went to the counter and said steroids. the workers just started pilling stuff on the counter and we picked what we wanted and asked if they had more of a certain thing. you will be fine not knowing spanish. IP: Logged |

Just say "yo tengo mucho hombre para negro verga" They will get the idea. Actually you would be better off just writing the names on paper with the amount wanted. IP: Logged |
