Most of these prices are grossly low.

The prices have doubled for nearly everything since 2020, CV.

Tons of Russian, Turks, Indians, Chinese, Africans, Arabs hanging around waiting to get to the border to cross over into US.

Prices of food and beer in Tijuana, are just 20% below that of San Diego, in some places it's even higher.

In general, people have become ruder, aggressive, and there are more scammers everywhere.

In CDMX, the metros and buses are jampacked worse than Tokyo all day and night.

Stay away from Hidalgo just outside the metro, as this is where the cannabis smokers aggregate, they are malicious, very different compared to most potheads around the world.

The pubs and restaurants overlooking the Cathedral square in the city centre Zocalo are complete tourist traps, the prices are outrageous.

Tons of Americans and Canadians have moved here, while they make money in dollars, jacking up rents and grocery prices for both locals and other tourists from not so rich countries.

The police in Tijuana stole $300 US dollars from me on the pretext of a false accusation made by a woman standing next to me at a cigarette vendor outside a bar. The next day, a hotel refused to give me 100 pesos deposit because I checked out 10 mins late.

Mexico isn't what it used to be, there is a negative energy in general and people are out to get you, especially if you are a foreigner.

Tons of missing women posters, absolutely brutal. This is a culture that just doesn't give a F about human life or basic emotions.

The classic Mexico of literature and movies, what we read and imagined about, is long dead and buried.

I am brown and I speak Spanish yet I felt unwelcome here.

Better go to El Salvador, it will overtake Mexico by 2030 in all aspects especially safety for women and less aggressive men. Costa Rica is better as well.

I want to move to Guadalajara and open up a training center teaching men and women to lay brick block and stone. I will be bringing them into Guadalajara and training them for 4 to 6 weeks. Then they will go back home to the United States or Canada. I will also train anyone from Mexico or the world and then get them a work visa permit and a job anywhere they want to live in the United States of America. For more information email me. Thank you
