CAUTIONS TRAVELING MEXICO

It is very important to observe certain cautions visiting Mexico, specially for certain touristic destinies because violence has increased incredibly. One of the main suggestions is not looking like having money, too much money, not showing off luxury articles, credit cards, or simply paying with big bills. If one is a "white" visitor and comes from a country where the language is not spanish, it is enough reason to be guessed as rich, so try to be humble and show you come from a rich country but you personally are not rich, unless you want to spend your holidays only inside a hotel with blue colored water pool and drinking cocos! . Be careful also when you get money out from from the ATM machine, specially in the airports, also if you change money in money exchange business, change little, get money in a supermarket or in a safe place with lot of people. In Mexico city specially there have been many assaults to foreigners after the took their money from machines. Remember always, moral changes, hard times change people, different cultures different rules. Take care of your life, in case of an assault, give your money, often people are doped or have the protection of mexican police, or are police themselves! ..they can shoot you down with not regret, cases like this happen often. All mexicans are that way? for sure no! there are still lot of very kind, warm mexicans who like to help and invite to strangers when they come to the country, they are curious about it, they are nice, but unfortunately, when one just arrived to this culture, it is almost impossible to note the difference between ones and others, so it is necessary to extreme cautions..
