What would you say if someone ask you how is Mexico?

Question

One of my friends asked me how is Mexico? because she know I visited Tijuana. I said it is dirty, old and shabby.

Answer 1

Your answer is offensive and you should have said TJ is very dirty, old and shabby. (which is true) It is very unfair to judge any country off of one town. Compare New York City,NY to Glenwood, IA, its not a fair comparison. I personally would would have said......Mexico is a country where people are taught to fend for themselves, most people are  hard workers and most have strong family values. Culture is a very strong bond that each town has of its own, it has bad government but huge possibilities. Beautiful and a great place to live if you have a viable way to make money and live. Things are actually more relaxing there. Its cheap compared to the states but the pay is horrible and there is no one living off of well fare, but a lot of kids not getting a good education because of the cost of simple elementary. Things we take for granted here are a blessing there, but things we take as a blessing here is typical culture there. (such as a close family)

Answer 2

Well, you're obviously very narrow minded if you judge an entire country because of one ugly city. Yes, Tijuana sucks and some other border cities as well, but so does the Bronx area in NYC and no one can say that the rest of the USA is the same, right???? You need to travel A LOT more before you can start having a REAL, objective opinion about the places you visit. Mexico is beautiful even though it has ugly towns and poor areas.....

Answer 3

Come to Westminster, California and see for yourself! It's little Mexico.

Answer 4

Mexico is a fabulous country, a truly cultural representation of the New World development. Tijuana is a poor relative, so far from historical sites and the seat of government. Its dirty and shabby but not that old. It hasn't enjoyed the disneyfication of  20th century tourist spots such as Cancun and others on the Yucatan riviera.

Tijuana is a busy commercial center, minutes from the US border, tourism is limited to the downtown streets with shops that range from outlets for Chinese made trinkets to high end couture and rowdy cantinas. It appears that your world view is limited, you should get out more. See the suburbs of Paris or the Italian railroad towns so you will know what old, dirty and shabby really looks like.

Answer 5

Hey, Ensenada was the same way!

Answer 6

I would say Tijuana IS dirty, old and shabby.... BUT that MOST of Mexico is beautiful, wondrous, fascinating, full of history and wonderful, warm people, that there are many aspects to the country and many different areas to explore and learn about. Please, don't judge Mexico by what you saw in Tijuana!!!!!

Answer 7

Border towns like Tijuana  do not represent the rest of Mexico.  If a  person from a foreign country visits the worst slums in L.A., do you think they should judge all of the United States by what that one location is like?  Border towns are dirty, ugly, shabby, dry, dusty.  Other areas in Mexico are filled with  very beautiful cities, great mountain scenery, lush forests and fields.  Of course there are poor areas..as in every country.  You cannot visit one town and judge an entire country.

Answer 8

You can answer the way it is... Mexico is a beautiful country that has it's own problems like any country, but you can find really beautiful places, beaches, and attractions, peolpe is fiendly and it can be very affordable to take a vacation.

Answer 9
