Their most infamous criminal is arrested and put into high security prison and nobody notices a tunnel equipped with running electricity and train being built to break him out.

But the same thing happens in the US all the time

Place is a shithole and zero reason to go.

Thats a fairly limited lifeview. My wife and I like to travel and learn about other cultures and see historical sites.

15 years ago we spent 10 days driving a rental around central Mexico visiting places Teotihuacan, Cuicuilco, etc. Yeah, there were some sketchy moments, like when I took the wrong turn in Mex City. But it was a great time.

And I will say this: we've traveled all over the world and still, to this day, the Mexican people were THE NICEST people. If you stopped someone on the street to ask a question, they would bend over backwards to help you.

On the other hand, after all the recent violence down there, I can't imagine taking that vacation again.
