SlamVook 12/09/22 9:31:38 AM #29:	Been to Mexico City in 2019 with my father for a week and yeah, it can be pretty safe as long as you dont over expose yourself. If the purpose of your trip is mainly for a Bachelor's party i would suggest you stay at Zona Rosa. Its a 6x6 blocks area with a pretty active nightlife, and despite all the partying is pretty safe and police presence is very common in the area. I stayed in that area and it was fine. If you really want to be as safe as possible then Polanco is the best area to stay in. Just be careful with your money when you pay. Not all but quite a few people in Mexico will try to scam you when you pay. Say you pay something with a 200 or 500 pesos bill, if you get distracted they will swiftly change it to a 20 or 50 peso bill and say its not enough. To avoid this give them the bills one by one or count the ammount as you are paying --- I think that dude was a dude, dude! <cite>SlamVook posted [p:970034272] in Anyone bee...

You can do that easily in the states. Mexico can be fun and all, but for the past few decades, the cartel has been running rampant and they actively engage anyone and everyone for no reason. They attack bars, farms, police bases.. It's so bad right now, that if you even stay off the main roads and go sight seeing in various mountains or beaches there's a good chance you'll run into a cartel member of some kind. --- I bought the Taito Egret II Mini just to play puchi carat <cite>Homeless_Waifu posted [p:970036461] in Anyone bee...
