Since I live in Mexico, I see progress that others don't get from the ordinary media coverage. Hundreds of thousands of new jobs have been added in the business, fishing, and construction sectors, 1,500 senior students showed up, with high grades, to seek places in a Tijuana high school which only had places for 500. Other bright kids who can afford it go to private high school and computer schools. Phone and Internet connectivity is at a high level, and for all of you who who are speaking of the Mexico travel warnings of 30 years ago, (don't drink the water!) the country is number two in the world for the consumption of bottled water. The US is number one, with Japan a close third. Visitors are more likely to get stomach complaints from tropical weather and too many Margaritas.

Public intoxication, lack of illegal drugs, good food, and amazing people. I'd move if I knew more of the language... and if Mexico had a stronger economy. Really the only thing I don't like about visiting Mexico is the fact that drinking the water does horrible things to my stomach and I always end up forgetting at some point and drinking some of it anyways.

I think Mexico is a wonderful country, filled with contrasts, fantastic art, warm people and amazing food.
I lived in Tulum, Quintanaroo for more than a year and I half and the only thing I regret from my time there is not being able to visit more places... but I will come back! Mexico definitely stole my heart and I need to go back and find it... Viva Mexico!!!!

Beautiful country with bad education for the masses. it's pretty much rich and poor. Rich are lighter and Poor are darker. It's a real prejudice within their own country. A poor person who is lucky enough to be light is usually granted better positions and given good projects. Oh yeah, and a lot of banditos among on the highways and city streets (taxis) which you can't blame many as they are so poor, but I would gladly give what I have on me than be robbed.

Nunca he ido, pero son bien razistas los mexicanos que conosco aquÃ. Lo siento, tal vez no todos son asÃ, pero mi experiencia con ellos aquà junto con el hecho de que allá sucuestran los Americanos por la frontera y en varias de las ciudades me da miedo de irme para allá. Parace ser lindo lugar.
