Fact or Fiction?

I'm almost two weeks into my trip. My how time flies! Now that I've been south of the border for some time, I would like to share a little game that Oscar started in Guadalajara. I would now like to play the game with you regarding some of the common concerns that people from the U.S. have about traveling in Central and South America. Here goes.... Fact or Fiction?

1) Fact or fiction? You can not use the sink water to brush your teeth.

2) Fact or fiction? It is not safe to eat the vegetables grown by local farmers because they water the crops with unclean water. (Ahem Jamie!)

3) Fact or fiction? There is a high kidnapping rate in Cabo San Lucas.

4) Fact or fiction? If you speak louder English to someone who speaks Spanish, they will understand you.

5) Fact or fiction? If you get water in your mouth while taking a shower you will get violently ill.

6) Fact or fiction? Marijuana is legal south of the boarder.

7) Fact or fiction? It is cheap to vacation in Mexico.

8) Fact or fiction? You must carry your passport on you at all times.

9) Fact or fiction? It is far to difficult and dangerous to drive your own car to Central America.

10) Fact or fiction? You can not put ice in you drink at a restaurant.

Ok mi amigos, I want you all to answer these questions then grade your score. Feel free to address any other concerns that you may have and I will happily continue the game with you. By the way, the answer to all of these questions is fiction.
