Is there any thing special I need to know about the toilets, sewage system, etc.?
Plumbing and toilets are a little different in Mexico. Toilet paper should NEVER be flushed and will cause major plumbing problems for everyone in the area. There will always be a wastebasket near the toilet for disposal of used toilet paper. This will be changed out often and usually does not create major odor issues. Toilets often do not have toilet seats and may require you to pour water in the toilet bowl in order to flush. These things are different but most travelers adjust without difficulty. Make it a point to use anti-bacterial hand gel every time you use the restroom and/or come in contact with water. Just remember — don’t flush the paper!
