That's what we did, and no one knew! It totally seems like the stuff would cost more than 100￥.

The rainy season here (this year it began in april) is also the black-out season, the subway-stalls-all-the-time season and the fender-breaker season as traffic also stalls al the time. A really lovely time to be here. Right now it is raining and 16 degrees centigrade. Also, in northwestern Mexico the rainy season lasts about 30 minutes, then followed by the duststorm season which lasts the rest of the year.
