Im from México and had travel for the last year over Canada and Oregon and CA in the States. I landed in Tijuana a day a go for need more than something else. I was completely cultural shocked in my home country, remembering how dirty it is. What a shame local people care nothing about improving habits. It is out of my sense how can someone go to the beach, get to see dolphins with an spectacular sunset as a background and yet not being sensitive enough to take their trash with them. All the shore cover by junk makes me sympathetic for us, I use to get really angry. I´ve been in Zicatela, nicer than Pto. Escondido. I lived in Zipolite for a year (which was inspiring for personal growth) and I know beach environments. It is true they are risky in the way there is access to drugs and stuff, local people are a little bit safer for knowing the tricks of the culture but is the same when we go to an unknown territory. So good to hear you had a safe and nice experience down Oaxaca, its a magical place. Danger is everywhere (Tijuana!!!!), all around the world but who doesn´t take the risk will only see other places through pages on a magazine. I love the reality shown in the video. Revealing undercover truth about misconceptions and tabus, like alcohol being so well accepted worldwide when is a cause of a problem chain! Anyways.. culture, misconceptions, what a long-night topics... regards! Like this post!. Im from México and had travel for the last year over Canada and Oregon and CA in the States.

The video maker is hilarous, he should submit those to The Daily Show. I can only be lucky enough to visit Amsterdam on my next trip to Europe. Love the website name!
