Going to Mexico need help translating
- Thread starter jdog9304
- Start date
Just try to speak as much like speedy gonzolas as possible and throw in the letter "o" at the end of every word that will get you by. sorry i had to say it...
Seriously, Since the area your visiting is a tourist area, chances are most of the people living/working around speak english or can point you to someone that does speak engilsh. You need to know what your looking for...i.e. your not gonna find QV in a pharmacy. No sense in wandering around asking people for a place that doesn't even carry what your looking for, your just looking to get screwed over.

if you can't bring a native-spanish-speaking friend along (your best bet), then don't worry too much.
although it's kinda nice to try to speak the language, most pharmacists understand the "gringos" enough to know when you want testosterone propionate or undecanoate or sustanon. don't worry about it, you can speak all english, they pay many folks well to know english because they know it benefits them.

the graneros though, i've spoken to some, and it seems harder to get an english speaking one ...
i had a good friend who had a great idea, he just brought a page with all the translations he needed and presented them as needed ...
he would have cue cards that would read:
"señor, me podria decir si tiene ttokkyo nandrolona 300? tambien, me podria escribir el precio aqui por favor?"
(translated, that means, sir, could you tell me if you carry ttokkyo nandrolone 300 and can you write the price here for me please?)
I know it sounds silly, but he got what he wanted, and it seems graneros tend to be more trustworthy, but your results may vary.
-
its all a matter of being just as shrewd there as here and take the advice of others who have been down there and learn from their mistakes.
from what i've recollected,
- (vets) brovel is not recommended due to the great risk of counterfeits and the belief that even the genuine article tends to be underdosed (maybe the truth is between the two)
- (vets) ttokkyo seems better, but always look for the hologram, most of their products carry it (ive seen the testosterones do not). if you doubt, don't buy it
- sustanon250 and deca and all the redi-ject products from the Farmacias are also a safe bet, and the only problem there is finding them at a price that isn't highway robbery, and im sorry to say, you'll have to do alot of footwork to figure that one out.
I know some hate the redijects though because you inject too much liquid if you want a good dose, and they are expensive, but I've always opined that you should NEVER EVER EVER EVER skimp when it comes to this, grin and bear it, go without eating (well, don't do that, go to a foodbank if you have to), don't take your girlfriend out for a month, but you'll never regret taking the time to insure you get the best product available, even when you pay too much for it...

another bit of advice .... estimate the amount you intend to spend in mexico and exchange it at an exchange house, they tend to give better exchange rates than the stores (who co-incidentally, by law aren't supposed to accept american dollars, but they do anyways, why? well that's a long long topic we can discuss some other time). for the latest exchange rate , go here http://www.x-rates.com/d/MXN/table.html
also keep in mind some exchange houses charge "exchange" and extra charges, so shop around a little ... it's still well worth the time you spend ...

I will be in Acapulco on Sunday and definetly at the vets. One of my friends who is going is from Mexico so he will be my little side kick. What is the best way to bring pack orals? I'm thinking of marking them and then throwing them in a big bottle of similar looking vitamis or something and seperating when I get home.

now, keep in mind that this suggestion is not intended to bypass the law, but a friend of mine explained a great way to "change containers" for those times when you might break a container....
its really simple, just buy a 10-50ml sealed bottle from the same place you get fina kits or lab supplies, use two needles (just like when you make fina) and empty the contents of your other solution into the empty vial.
keep in mind the need for sterility, so you should always do it in as clean an environment as possible, so don't try this while at the beach, ok?
once done, some folks even go for the extra points by bringing along pre-made labels printed on a laser-printer with such interesting monograms such as - vitamin B12, Intravenous Vitamin E, and stuff, and i've seen some very clever labels that would convince even a doctor (God bless laser printers) .... i guess that's how the counterfeiters do it, huh?
but as all things, keep in mind mislabeling could be misconstrued as illegal if they manage to catch it, not to mention the legality of whatever it is you chose to transport.

Also, print out what you are looking for in english, with spanish if you have it on index cards. Chemical name, plus brand names. Sometimes they will ask you to write down what you're looking for, and they can then use one of their pharmacy books to look up the local equiv. if they don't know.
