Title: Anyone Been to Mexico City Lately?
Post by: Skorp1o on July 14, 2014, 03:59:14 AM
I have a personal reason to go there in a few months, but security is a bit of a concern to me.

I'll be staying in a safe area (I was told) where many government officials and diplomats stay, but I'm wondering in general if the journey from the airport and hanging out in town/touristy areas is ok? I stick out like a sore thumb in places like that and a blonde scandi with me won't help things, many people think I'm American when abroad which sometimes worries me as foreigners hate your guts.

Has anyone been anytime lately? any advice?

Dont be flashy.

Kidnapping for ransom really does happen there.

Never just the two of you, as it would make you vulnerable.

Security is very beefy in places that high rollers stay, be prepared to see a lot of guns. Other than that, have fun/ common sense, dont go on adventures.
Mexico City is just as safe as New York or Los Angeles

I dont know of this is accurate.

Incredibly unsafe. The tourist resorts are relatively okay if you stay there and don't wander into the towns. Mexico city you will get mugged or kidnapped if you are an American. You have a huge target on your back and everyone will know you are a gringo from the US. The Marines in California are banned from going to Mexico. The Police are so corrupt they will arrest an American on a made up charge and release you with a lot of cash. It's kidnapping by the Police never mind the vicious gangs and organized crime there.

THIS.  I can carry a gun in the USA.  I can ask for a lawyer and a police supervisor in the USA.  I can expect any LEO to speak my language.  I can sue the shit out of any law officer that abuses me.

Mexico is fine.....stay in the tourist areas by the bays, beaches and cruise ships.  Cartels keep to the other side for the most part.  

ALTHOUGH, you are a very nice helping of delicious dark meat so you might wanna be careful....a tender piece like you could fetch a few pesos.  

Mexico is basically an enormous tourist trap, but nothing tops Jamaica.....NOTHING.  

Keep your wallet or cash/cards in your front pockets and if someone wants to sell you something in an alley next to a building.....don't go.

Over priced.  Under stocked.  Under dosed.  But they do advertise Human Grade EQ and Human Grade Tren.   ::)

Very few things I would ever get there at this point.  And of course, their Rip-U-Off policy is in full effect for the newbies.

The question was about Mexico City, not the beach cities or resorts.  Mexico City is very much like New York City and Los Angeles, very rich areas, very poor areas, skyscrapers and suburbs.  Mexico City and New York are pretty much the same size too. There are many places in Mexico City that would be best to avoid, but that is true for LA and NYC too. I've traveled throughout Mexico City via subway and bus, and have walked through the central city even late at night without any fear.  Use common sense, don't wear overly expensive clothes, and you'll be fine.

Mexicans feel they stole there land. To top it of, Mexicans are not allowed to cross in to the US. (unless they have a visa).
What pisses them of the most is not being able to make money on there turf. It would be like Germans cant work in Bavaria unless they get a VISA. Of course the Mexicans hate Americans. But Mexicans put up a pretty good fight with the gangs and illegal workers.
No matter what Mexicans never going to get there land back. Ever
