Seems like my group of friends loves to vacation in Mexico (Cabo or Cancun). If it's someone's birthday... Let's go to Mexico. If it's someone's bachelor party... Let's go to Mexico. If it's someone's anniversary... Let's party in Mexico. If it's spring break... Let's go to Mexico.
I have a friend that is getting married later this year and they are doing the bachelor party in.... Cabo. I think Mexico is a corrupt shit hole and I have no desire to go there. I've even read stories of the "safe" All inclusive resorts selling tainted alcohol. The cartels own everything and the police are corrupt. Am I wrong in my assumption here or is it a good idea to stay away from taco land?
This is literally the 3rd time this group will be in Cabo this year.
I would never step foot in a 3rd world country unless for business.
Sebastian Rogers
If you go to Mexico, you will spend money in Mexico, which will help the Mexican economy. Real Americans need to financially cripple the wetbacks, not help them.
Luke Bailey
And here I am trying to get away from beaners.
Leo Miller
Cabo is safe it's in the desert of the Baja peninsula, there's nothing between Cabo and California
Ayden Hall
>Cabo Eh....alright I guess? >Cancun You stupid fucks have a death wish, don't you? Anyways, I have a question: why come to mexico in the first fucking place?
Brandon Walker
I was there 2 years ago for a wedding. Same week as the us election. Fuck it was great rubbing it in those beaners face when trump won. The resorts are alright. You can score blow off of any of the guys who drive the carts around the resort
Noah Rogers
Shut the fuck up wetback
Aaron Hill
Make me, fucking Tyrone Gonzalezberg
Easton Moore
It's safe, as long as you stay at the resorts. My cousin went their for her honeymoon and she was bussed from the airport directly to the resort, which was heavily gaurded. She was advised to not leave the resort.
Liam Jackson
Cancun and Eastern Yucatan are where cartels launder and make some legit cash flow from tourists so they have a vested interest in keeping it safe. You're good.
How I know: hotels report 90-100% occupancy year round despite very clearly not having many people in the off seasons. They fudge the numbers.
Owen Watson
Yeah, it's a bad idea to go to brown people's land unless you ave to go there, especially a corrupt land like Mexico.
Austin Nelson
Help the Mexican economy? No, you'd be helping the politicians, their party and their families
Luke Clark
If they find out OP is racist they might murder him, or if he is rich they would kidnap and murder.
Juan Walker
cancun is fine. you pussies.
Evan Roberts
Costa Rica is the adventure you seek. Having friends is gay, faggot.
Justin Nguyen
Has cancun gone downhill? I havent been there in like 13 years
Robert Morgan
You mean the cartels?
Adrian Gutierrez
Stay in the cordoned off resort areas and it'll be like you never left gringoland. They'll even charge you for everything in dollars. They're protected areas. As a Gringo who has lived in Mexico City for 17 years, I can tell you that there are very few times when I have felt unsafe but I always hear stories. I guess it's dangerous but it doesn't feel like it..at least to me....puto
It's fine but for real don't drink the water if your guts aren't used to that even ice off the resort can be ducky so anytime you are out and about drink only hard liquor
Adam Brown
I mean, Cabo is pretty comfy, I've been there myself. It's significantly more calm than the average mexican shithole, but there's still the ocassional violence here and there. Nothing too batshitcrazy like, fucking Guerrero (you can't get lower than Guerrero so it's good)
Cancun is like Guadalajara but in a beach. It's really pretty, women are hotbut you'll ocasionally bump into the narco-wanna be and chances are, you gon get niggered. Still, play safe, and you should be set to go
BUT PLEASE, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ACAPULCO. IGNORE WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE 80'S SAID, GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE
Cancun is really not dangerous. Went there with my professor and her husband on a paid research trip. But went down to tulum and mostly just akumal where they're planning a big series of urban development projects. Very chill. Most deaths are just stupidity
Josiah Bennett
I’ll tell you a story user. Once upon a time, two postal workers (us gov employees) went to Mexico for a vacation despite what their coworkers said.
I never saw them again. Merced in some nowhere border town. Do you want to die in the dirt in a foreign country? Do you want your death to be forgotten because it’s politically inconvenient? Go to Mexico.
Luke Smith
This tbqh
Jace Davis
isn't vacationing a form or business >only Europeans know about sweet spots like pic related
>All inclusive resorts selling tainted alcohol. Almost every restaurant, bar or tourist place sells tainted alcohol (Because it's cheap), the tip is "If is cheap don't buy it", the best bet is buying directly from a big liquor store or places like Walmart, etc...
>The cartels own everything Most cartels runs very few bussiness, mostly motels, pawn shops, bars/discos, and places where is hard to prove how much people spend their money, like the previous point, don't go to cheap places, but most their bussiness are illegal stuff like drugs, prostitution and piracy, as long as you don't do something illegal you are OK.
>and the police are corrupt. HUGEEEEELY corrupt, honestly there is a bigger chance police fucking up with you that cartels fucking up with you (I mean a tourist probably has like 50% chances of police asking bribes and less than 1% of getting in troubles with cartels), however police most likely just want some bribes, they don't want to hurt you.
>Am I wrong in my assumption here or is it a good idea to stay away from taco land? I use a map, the yellow states are "Unsafe" to certain degree, red states are "Dangerous", don't go unless it's necessary and go with a mexican companion or at least in large groups. Like I said before -Don't do illegal suff (Drugs, hookers, loli hookers, pawn shops, etc...) -Don't go to cheap places -Don't go to poor places -Stay in big cities
Wouldn't the spics go back to Mexico if the economy wasn't shit?
I just want the spics to leave already
Adam Long
>Using Spanish names to demonize Americans
Do you hate your own culture and heritage so much?
We might be mutts, but at least we aren't masochists
Dominic Sullivan
If you go you will probably die. Realistically they probably replaced their last dead friend with you.
Lucas Foster
The economy is shit, We are usually 13th economy in the world in the same tier as Russia, Australia or Spain.
What's shit is the the wages and the wealth distribution. About half of people earn $4 dollars per day, average cartel thug makes $5k per week, average Deputy/Senator earns $50k per month, Guys like Salinas, Azacarraga, Sertvije or Slim make millions per day.
John Green
cabo is safe, stay away from the south unless is a closed hotel area in cancun, perhaps oaxaca or veracruz, maybe jalisco is also safe, you have to be really unlucky or look like a real faggot to get mogged
Nicholas Diaz
I want to go to Tijuana to bang whores
Gabriel Thomas
>why come to Mexico in the first fucking place? That's my question as well. If they want beaches there's California and Florida. I'm not sure why they are so crazy about going there so often.
Luis Perez
>Do you hate your own culture and heritage so much? Nope, but the mofos on your side turn into a "thing" that is latin-american only in surname. Simply put, I don't see them as mexican, hispanic, latin or whatever made-up term you guys use, and many people here do the same
Jordan Scott
>We are usually 13th economy in the world in the same tier as Russia, Australia or Spain. if your economy was ever that good y'all mexiniggers wouldn't be dying to get into the US for the past 120 years
Henry Long
>How dangerous is Mexico for vacationing? Not very, as long as you go to the actual tourist spots and not off the beaten path. Tulum for example or Mazatlan. Stay away from Cancun.
Nolan Hall
The upper part of Baja is about as bad as bad gets. Don't even think of driving down there. Fly. Seriously.
Owen Rodriguez
lies there have been at least 113 politians recently murdered. lots of unknown people coming in the country. several murders in Cabo recently
Asher Hill
I've heard Mexicans don't really bother tourists.
But I more recently heard that this seems to be changing. Which is too bad, because when it gets out that a place is dangerous - it's like cancer for the local tourist industry.
Xavier Thompson
wake up they try to come here because they see how we took the land they had to give up in the war being made into a wonderful place they could never do that if they kept california, arizona, etc every illegal I've talked to thinks california belongs to mexicans
Dylan Thomas
> This is literally the 3rd time this group will be in Cabo this year. >GEE I DONT KNOW IF I GO TO MEXICO WILL I MAKE OUT OF THERE ALIVE OR NOT????
Hudson Johnson
Sucks to lose wars I suppose.
Julian Russell
I got back from 6 months in Cancun last week. I rented a little apartment near the soccer/futbol stadium. I can answer your questions OP. Also the hotel zone is perfectly fine, it's off to the side and some people never even make it into the city.
Real answer here. I've been to both Cancun and Cabo many times. A perk of my job is being flown to tourist cities all over the world. I'm a white American and those two destinations are the most vanilla, safe, benign you can get ANYWHERE, that's including the US. The whole city is practically a gated community for tourists. Some bars are whiter than a West Virginia Klan biker dive. Everyone in the city depends on tourism so every citizen runs an extremely tight ship. I love it every time I get sent there. Relax, the whole country isn't Sicario. Do yourself a favor and grow some balls and go have fun instead of being afraid of everything.
Grayson King
Wow the $3 I spent on dinner really tipped the scales.
Nicholas Adams
It's much easier for a white boy to get laid in mexico than back home.
Leo Allen
why are mexicans weebs so fucking insecure Like no anime girl is gonna fuck a violent shitskin thug
Depends where you want to go, Cancun, Mexico city, Cabo, Monterrey and Puebla are amazing, the rest is a shithole
Parker Price
Just go to some island instead.
Tyler Lopez
As long as you stay out of the poorer parts of Mexico and don't fuck with the cartels, you should be fine. Otherwise expect your shit to get stolen, or in the case of the cartels, your face ripped off, nuts chopped off, legs beaten off with a wire and fed to someone's pet piranhas, and then they kill you by brutally severing your head (with a rusty knife they used to gut a pig) to placed on a spike in the middle of the road.
Elijah Perez
Well it is a fact that Mexico is a shithole
Corruption is real, and beggars are fucking annoying
Just learn how to say "Gracias" and ignore them/walk away
Gracias means Thank you in spanish
Dont even consider giving a single peso and or attention to a beggar, you will just make it worst
Also, always, check your change, since they love to rob you that way. >you pay a $99 pesos check with $500 pesos >they give you $101 pesos back, as if you had paid with $200
Inmediatly tell them that you paid with $500 and they will inmediatly gave your change back
If you are the type of deep beta guy who doesnt know how to stand up for himself, then dont go to Mexico, stay where you are.
They have prostituion houses in the open, as if it was legal.
DONT FUCKING GO THERE DONT EVEN JOKE ABOUT GOING THERE TO ANY MEXICAN
Its not like they will rob you or something, but ewwww, fucking disgusting degenerate "women" make me puke
If you stay as morally clean as possible, you will be alright
Alexander Hughes
thanks holmes
Easton Kelly
It's not dangerous at all if you stay in the spots where people vacation.
Jack Torres
pretty Goddamn dangerous.
Gavin Brown
NO!!!!!!
You will regret it
It is healthier to rub your dick against the wall of a dirty gas station, than shaking your hand with any person inside a fuckinh mexican prostitute house
DONT FUCKING DO IT
Jose Hernandez
I feel like you just saw that episode of American Dad and used it to base your opinion on Mexico
Josiah Johnson
If you stick to tourist areas in the daytime, you should be fine. Go to a resort or take a cruise, where they keep you away from the street people.
The secret to Mexico is to speak Spanish, and go to the middle class areas in the south. Most of the north is where the street scum are, and the illegals from south america, who are more likely to rob you than the locals.
Hudson Diaz
Dude, check my flag
I have gringo (white) family on USA, and that was the first thing they wanted to do
I told them how things are in reality, and how to stay away from trouble
Dont even consider it a legit option to ever step near a prostitute house in Mexico
Brody Ross
Yeah,Cabo is so awesome, it's all middle aged fat fucks trying to pretend they're 19 again, on spring break. Nobody under 40 goes to Cabo.
Mason Brown
Go to Mazatlán, best beach in Mexico and heavily protected to keep the tourist dollars flowing.
A large number of Mexicans cross the border to work tax free - if they work at home, they have to pay Mexican taxes.
I knew a woman who was dating a dude who crossed over the border every year, because he was getting a free ride through college. He'd go home on the vacations with money he'd make tax free, and never paid a cent for his education - he came from a fairly well off family, too.
Everyone complains about Mexicans, but I know more Mexicans that are here legally, most illegals come from South America.
Matthew Cox
Cabo is a holding pen for drunk white retards. Nothing bad will happen to you.
Juan Jackson
What's the point of going to Mexico if you're not going to bang whores?
Landon Wilson
Well it depends on your self-respect and dignity
Just because it is "legal" does not mean that you fucking should
Leo Lewis
I think his point is that you should bang drunk whores you meet at a bar instead of paying some STD-ridden whore you find in a whorehouse.
