Sounds waaaaay better than India, and I’ve lived in India.
Would take Mexico over what I saw there, any day…
India is absolutely fucking insane…
Though I also saw some deeply fucked up shit in Turkey, mostly in far eastern rural areas, and nearly got attacked by a pack of dogs in rural South Korea, so I guess… Once you’ve seen serious shit like that, and been that far out of your “comfort zone”, what you describe doesn’t sound that bad, to me, lol…
Seriously, I cannot imagine anywhere being as fucked up as India, except maybe Haiti, or parts of Africa…
Or Bangladesh, which is theoretically even worse… 🤷🏻♂️
Well Mexico City is one of the (if not the) wealthiest cities in Mexico, and I was in a reasonably nice part of town; so this was a best case scenario. The city also has shanty-towns and no-go areas, but I didn't go to those places. I imagine if I wanted to see some "deeply fucked up shit" I would have been able to find it there in abundance.
One thing I forgot to mention was the air pollution: my lungs burned as soon as I got off the plane, and it took a few days for it to subside. Then you're also at 8,000 feet, so it takes time to get used to the thin air.
We often hear about them poo'ing in the streets, and the mass rapes that occur, but what else makes it so insane (genuinely curious, because those who live in India make it seem like it's fine, but that's obviously not the case)?
Worse than the favelas in Brazil?
whats worse about bangaldesh?
It’s (quite a bit) poorer, and more… Unstable.
Like India on steroids, in the worst possible way…
There’s a reason you hear about all the building collapses, slave labour and terrible flooding, in Bangladesh, and very little positive… 😞
Sadly.
