tax refund
When shopping do not forget to claim back the taxes
paid. Most boutiques require a minimum amount
spent in the one day (and in the same store) before you
can apply for the tax refund. Along with your payment
simply show them your passport and ask them to fill
in the detaxe form for you, which you will later need
customs to stamp at the airport before flying off.
