just an aside on flat tires here. I saw a can of Fix a Flat in a local hardware. The can seemed only half full by shaking it and had some rust on the seam where the can was originally sealed. I asked if they had another one, and the man said they did not. SO I paid 330 pesos for it probably double what it would cost at Pep Boys and went into the parking lot. I started screwing it onto my tire and the air started hissing out, a bit of foam came into the hose when I pushed the button, but not much, and the tire continued to deflate before my very eyes. By then the hose end was all sticky and slippery and I couldn't undo it. Before I could find my pliers and take it off that way the tire was sitting on the rim, there is a tire shop a long block away, but before I could get there the tire was ruined.
