    That we don’t move from one place to another on a donkey, and that we don’t wear sombreros.

    Being more serious, the thing they really get surprised, is that global media (specially from the US) depict us as a narco state. Life here is secure, people is friendly, and if you don’t mess with the bad guys, you’ll be fine 95% of the time. Just use common sense as you do while you visit any country in the world and you’ll be fine.

          Yeah, I knew that, but I think it’s still important to say. I want this place to be an educational community, so I think it’s important to avoid preaching to the choir or assuming everyone’s part of the US-centric zeitgeist. I appreciate your understanding.
