And I walk with my laptop from office to apartment around midnight

That does sound a bit like the guys who snipe winners at 1.01....Don't worry, it'll never go wrong.

I'm not being a prophet of doom but complacency often precedes regret.

I am now located in mexico almost a week and I am almost certain already that I will never come back to Europe. The mexican people are nicest people in the world, they are genuine and happy. The beaches and atmosphere is amazing. The food is great. Everything is cheap as fuck... Too bad Mexico has such a bad reputation. I don't know if this is true for central Mexico, but on Quintana Roo area I wasn't scared at all. And I walk with my laptop from office to apartment around midnight

Unless the women are ugly as f*** and the drinks taste like s***, then shut up while the rest of us have to look at fall drizzle outside

Nah, sounds wonderful. Do enjoy

Yep, the world is full of kind welcoming people. It's just a shame they don't always get the same treatment when they come to do some work here.
Wouldn't it be great if they said "The British people are nicest people in the world", unlikely though init.

People who spend six months working here won't, but most of us bend over backwards to help tourists holidaying over here. I'd like to think they go home thinking we're nice.

Fuck me!!!

Took my eyes of the market just to type that post, when back to the market - 20 tick profit!

Hmm, having done both - the latter many, many times over - I'd disagree. I tend to leave short trips wondering, what happened to the brilliant Brits, I got to know during longer stays - in generic terms of course. My friends didn't go missing out of nowherere. I just don't get the same positive impression by some distance, as is the case once you get to know people a bit better.

Also, there's a world of difference between bending over backwards to be helpful and the sincere, heartfelt "welcome to our corner of the World feeling" you get in some places around the world. The come have a cup of ..... with me, meet my family, and tell me about yourself thing.

Lol, this is actually good comparison but that comparison is good in general for walking with laptop arounnd at night, not just mexico

Where are you exactly in the Yucatan peninsula are you located? I'm guessing on the NE Coast?

I once had a fab experience at Xcaret. But there are loads of places to visit inland or on the coast which is full of old Mayan ruins and stuff which can be a great way to chill. Though I did crash a Jeep once when I got a bit enthusiastic on a minor road through the Jungle.

You remind me of the 1970's kiddies show 'Mr Benn' - this really unassuming, ordinary looking bloke, going on these extraordinary adventures in life

I think the full set is available on YouTube. I watched the zookeeper episode recently.

Mr Benn or Mr Bean? I think you'll find that Mr Benn would have been a most excellent driver & explorer, you won't find him crashing.

By the way LeTiss that 'extraordinary adventure' is called a 'holiday', you should try it. It was Mexico not the moon.

No disrespect intended Peter, I'm just teasing LeTiss for gassing you

I did think the same, Thomas Cook isn't the only place you can book a holiday

Hey guys. After couple of months in Mexico I am reporting that I am still alive

Going to Mexico was the best decision I made (but I made a lot bad decisions before that so this isn't big accomplishment, haha). I will stay for even longer. I trade US sports (NBA and NFL), so I don't need to sleep during day anymore. The weather is great, the food is amazing. People are generally not obsessed with money, the life feels easier and happier here. And the money go further here because everything is cheap...

Ask if you want to know anything about that topic
And I wish a lot of green color to everyone!

Nice bro. Whereabouts are you in Mexico? Give us an idea of a day in the life.

Surfing and girls, details on these would also be appreciated
