Mexico tries to woo back tourists

Full story: Marin Independent Journal

There may be no better time to visit Mexico than now. It's been about a month since swine flu scares sent tourists fleeing, but with new cases of the H1N1 virus on the wane, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifted its ban on nonessential travel to Mexico on May 15.

Once again people write about things they do not know.
Yes Mexico has some bad parts as does Oakland, CA, Detroit, MI and many other big cities.

There are millions of Americans living full time in Mexico.
Why??
What do they know that you don’t?
You might say because it is cheaper….
Well how about these folks that live in the Puerto Vallarta area at least part time.
Gov. Jessie Ventura.
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs.
Oprah.
Stallone
And many many other very well of people.
Would they go there because it is cheap??
Or would they go there because it is nice.

So tell me were in the USA can you go and get.
The food of San Francisco bay area.
The beaches and climate of Hawaii.
The friendliness of the mid west.
For half price or less of Oklahoma.

Come on tell me were???

If you're drumming up Tourist Business for Mexico, don't bother to convince me. I've been there several times in the past. Don't care to go back! PERIOD END OF STORY!!!

So what if American live there, many do in enclaves? I'm FREE TO THINK FOR MYSELF whether you LIKE MY OPINION OR NOT!!!

Oprah, Gates, they have body guards!!! BIG DEAL. GEESH! They don't dictate how my life should be lived.

Try your argument on someone else and yap away, don't care if you call me close minded, whatever. I KNOW WHAT I LIKE!!!

I don´t think so. Americans only know their backyard everything beyond that is foreign territory. I mean an American that comes to Germany and Try to pay for a beer mug worth 100 EUR with 100 USD and even argues with the personal why they won’t accept "American money" WTF. Americans are so pathetic and ignorant.

Generalize much? As a German you must be aware of the generalizations about Germans too. You guys don't exactly have the best reputation as tourists with your European neighbors either.

Correct your opinion is yours to make.
You say you have been to Mexico a couple of times and did not like it.
Fine.
Just the same I know people that have flown into L.A to take their kids to Disneyland and say they don’t like the USA.
Ignorant is the proper term.
After seeing pictures of the Redwoods of Nor Cal they made another trip.

You make Mexico sound unsafe.
That is why I responded.
Take Willits, Ca Google it if you like.
Approximantly 5k people.
Willits had more murders in 2008 then The Puerto Vallarta area with close to 500k people.
I moved From Willits, Ca to Puerto Vallarta and safety was one of the reasons.
No I don’t have body guards nor need them.
Last fall Condolisa Rice was in PV with only two guards, and she went out to dinner and a walk.
And I have never seen her in the USA with any less guards
Is there a chance she may know something you don’t?????

You also said stay home and I asked you a question.
Tell me a place I can go that fits the criteria I spelled out?
LOL

That’s it? That’s the only thing you can say "Heil Hitler"? And you say you have German friends. Like I said Pathetic and Ignorant. I bet you don’t even know what does it means. Or where it comes from!

I also have some American friends here and they would be a shame of you. They are even a shame of their own country. They prefer to live here than go back to the US! Why? More Money (USD are worthless now), more paid vacation, Social security, Security, liberal, open minded. You want more?

Hey, that's it because I know and its a know fact that Germans have enjoyed going to South America for many many decades.

Go wherever you want it's a big wide world. Nobody really cares about your euros, brag elsewhere....lmho.

FACT: Nazis hide in South America. Josef Mengele a SS Officer conducted many of his gruesome experiments on humans in Brazil, lived in Paraguay as well. He had freedom to continue his crimes against humanity there until he finally died swimming suspected of having a stroke.

Nothing new there about Germans vacationing in S.A. hmmmm.

I'm sure Mexico has some wonderful, beautiful places. I've been there. Several times. However, I refuse to spend one peso in Mexico until Mexico does ITS part to halt its "cockroach Army" (Calderon's words. Not mine) from invading the USA AND also eliminating its human rights violations, abuse, and violence by ITS authorities
directed against persons caught compromising ITS southern border. Hypocracy is hypocracy no matter how you slice it. Mexico has absolutely NO concern about the negative impact its 35 million PLUS citizens who have sneaked in here since 1986 have created, but God Almighty forbid someone get
busted sneaking into Mexico. So, I won't be back, and sure one less American visiting and spending money in Mexico won;t be missed - considering they receive approximately 30 BILLION U.S. Dollars PER ANNUM from Calderon's "cockroach Army" trespassing/squatting here as it is. Funny how the MSM and liberal democraps/socialist wanna-be Obamabots NEVER mention Mexico's abuses. They just prefer to call those of us who favor an end to this illegal exodus from Mexico to the USA illegally, and
strictly enforcing currently existing federal laws "Haters", "Bigots", "Racists" and "Xenophobes".

One thing we can agree on is that the border needs to be sealed……………Period……….End of story……..

Let me ask you a question.

Do you lock your house?
Why?
To keep people out…Correct??
Is it your job to lock your house or is it the burglars??
If someone broke into your house and set up camp would you.
Give them free health care?
Free schooling?
Free food??
Of course not……..I would simply shoot them………..
Demand from your elected officials that they close the border…
If not fire them………….

Believe me, we won't miss you. Mexico is a place for people with kindness and love in their heart, qualities you are obviously lacking. I am thankful every day to live among the warmhearted people in the culturally rich country of Mexico, and I'm especially thankful you aren't among my neighbors.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Aquarius

The atmosphere in the office is stressful. Learn to divide time in a planned and phased manner. Beware of starting a lot of new things but not having the time to finish any of them. Mental overload will burn your busy and chaotic schedules and health problems may crop up all of a sudden. If you party with friends this evening, don't make it too late.
