I ended up leaving Mexico to make up for some money I lost (long story - off topic) and would now like to go back. The economy in S. Mexico was weak (part of the problem). <br /><br />About 8 months ago I went back to really check out Guadalajara and thought it was a great city and I was planning to go back. I keep up on things but it is, as this article suggests, a mixed situation.<br /><br />My worry from what I've been reading is the Zetas are making a play on GDL - which from what I've been reading makes it more dangerous than just one cartel in control. <br /><br />So, what's the opinion on the safety of GDL in the coming couple of years? It bothers me that traveling outside of GDL in the area could be a bit more risky than is normal.<br /><br />Really appreciate your opinion on GDL and the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-52706193656106576552012-02-17T23:53:07.089-07:002012-02-17T23:53:07.089-07:00Seriously it gets me pist how people dnt even care...Seriously it gets me pist how people dnt even care about what happens over there..

I turn on the news and I see reports of what is going on in places like Syria and overseas. How about report what is going directly south of the border of us? Why not report that since 2006 50,000+ people have died in Mexico due to the violence? That thousands of people are missing, many presumed dead. I used to travel to San Luis Potosi with my family every year since I was a baby. Within the past few years I have refrained from doing so due to the shit I read about what's going on down there. I fear making the 28 hour drive. This fear has kept me from seeing my family for years, most which still live in Mexico. I have always been proud of my Mexican heritage but it honestly depresses me to call myself Mexican knowing what's going on over there.<br /><br />LapinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-56464816586587946412012-02-17T07:34:55.515-07:002012-02-17T07:34:55.515-07:00Sadly, the State Dept Travel Advisory is not news...Sadly, the State Dept Travel Advisory is not news.

That's how the world works. Only about ten percent of Americans know what's happening in Mexico. Living sheltered lives with filtered media thinking we have so called freedoms. Get real just enough to keep you placid. That's why they let so much dope reach us to keep us numb.
