Her dear friend, who is from Mexico City, is getting married there as her family is from there. Tho they are providing some information/support, I had hoped FR friends would comew thru with more good advice or sources for good advice.
Oh boy. I’d really discourage her from going. She must really want to be at that wedding, but there’s no way in hades I’d go there. They are holding a US Marine in a prison too, add that to the list of reasons to not go.
Sorry I can’t offer any real travel advice other than “don’t do it.”
I have work there - my people have to travel there sometimes - some areas are not as bad as advertised. Have someone she knows meet her at the airport. She should only travel with those she knows and only stay at brand hotels.
Oh, a wedding.
Well, she might be okay I suppose. Tell her to expect birria and circus music at the wedding and smog and high altitude the rest of the time. Every male at the wedding will make it his duty to try to get her clothes off.
Mexico City is violent and poor, unless she’s with the really rich. It’s about as bad as the south side of chicago all over the city except for the fortresses where the wealthy people hole up.
SKYPE
Can you, or a trusted (preferably male) friend/family member go with her?? Will she be arriving there alone, as it is?
