I've been to Mexico like 6 times.
The first 5 times were all excellent trips, wonderful places, wonderful people.
The sixth time, we were all literally robbed by Mexican police officers at the airport who claimed we couldn't leave the country without paying an "exit tax" of $200 USD each, and told us we either paid and got on our flight home or we didn't pay and they took us to prison.
I don't go back to Mexico now.
I'm Mexican and I agree with this meme.
okay but is everything tinted yellow in Mexico?
Yes, and we all wear big hats and a huge mustache.
I'm visiting Mexico City for the first time in April.
Hopefully things will be mellow.
Just don't expect cheese on your quesadillas and you'll be fine
Only the last one should be police
That would be the US, not Mexico.
No, that's very much Mexico as well
Is this how we improve the US?
Tell all the racists they're behaving worse than Mexicans?
Is this how we improve Mexico?
Tell all the Mexicans they're really just bad Americans?
I've lived in Mexico for over 20 years now, and yeah there is crime, yeah there are problems, but I rarely felt unsafe, really.
Does this depend on the region you live in? I get the impression border areas are less safe.
There are hot zones, yes. Border zones are less safe, Michoacan (minis the capital) are not a good place to visit either. Celaya as a city should be avoided, but the Rest of Mexico can be reasonably safe, especially the tourist areas.
Mind you, I've visited Celaya (and Michoacan) countless times and I've seen some shit, but I never really was worried for my safety. Stay in the main roads, tourist areas, you'll be fine.
Also depends on how gringo you look. Gringos are largely seen as money pinatas.
Basically I'm a soft, doughy ATM.
