        This one hurts me, luckily we don’t deal with this in the place where I live.

        Hey most of mexico is not that crazy, only central mexico people think quesadillas don’t need queso. Like saying cheeze its don’t have to have cheese.

      Been many times when my brother lived and worked there for three+ years. We are gringos. Never felt unsafe. Sure, he talks about a time at Xochimilco where him same some work colleagues perhaps drew the ire of some locals, but really the worst part of the trip was the few times we needed to get in a taxi.

      I’m that vein, that was the one rule we tried to adhere to at the time, make sure, if you take a taxi, to take the sanctioned ones or whatever.

      Now, we drove to Oaxaca once, and some of the towns en route to were sketchy looking. Didn’t have any bad experiences but also didn’t bring the car down under like 15mph either.

      Enjoy! Bring Pepto. I got Montezuma’s revenge every time. I’m starting to think it was the altitude (couldn’t have been the many michelladas, certainly not).

          I think it’s an experience for a visit, but yeah, the kind of thing, if you’re local… why?

          Another thing I forgot was that MXC was one of two decent sized earthquakes I ever felt. On the roof of a 17 story building, not ideal, but looking back, pretty neat. The city’s really got it all!

          I want to see some chinampas, I find the method of construction fascinating. I’m hoping the water level is high enough to get around in a small boat.

        I have gone many times, every single one has been mellow. I imagine as a local it doesn’t look like that, especially if you have to commute all over the city.

      I don’t like CDMX, but I gotta go there for concerts, but I do agree that it is nice for quick trips, just don’t go late in the streets alone… Well don’t go late at all lol.

          Criminals have always counted on the shadows to get away. It’s why when something happens during the day we’re all surprised and we say, “He just did that shit in broad daylight. What a moron!”
