    • Well, in case you missed it, this place can be dangerous. It's full of smugglers and drug traffickers, so unless these are the type of folks you normally invite to your house for Sunday dinner, you might want to be careful here. You definitely don't want to stick around after dark. In fact, most of the stores close between 3 and 4 in the afternoon, so your best bet is to get out before then.

    You should also be forewarned that the products that you buy here will not be guaranteed in any way. They are probably not authentic. They probably will not work properly. And they are possibly stolen or illegal in some other fashion. Buyer beware.
