Get the shoes they copied, panam, they are like 20 usd although they aren't nice shoes haha

Edit: btw I'm kidding about the copying, apparently both brands created similar shoes by accident.

Still, very lookalike but the panams aren't nice shoes

The kind of american that usually comes to Mexico is very nice, very welcome. Maybe the exceptions are the very loud and self absorbed ones that go to resort locations and act like they're better than everyone there.

As long as people want to integrate and cooperate they are more than welcome.

Now, the sad part is the gentrification that comes with a lot of people moving and outpaying rent vs the locals. Now the average cost of living in Mexico city is about 50% higher than the average salary, and about 100% higher than the median salary. Another very negative thing is that now a lot of locals have to communicate in english because American people will come and not learn spanish over multiple years living here. There are zones where everything is in english now. It's okay speaking english, it's not okay expecting english from everyone.

So a few pointers:

  1. Integrate, pay taxes, consume locally
  2. Try and move into already gentrified places, avoid displacing more people
  3. Push for social policy, increased affordable living spaces, invest in the country where you move into to improve the locals' life

Be friendly, but that's always

As I understand it it also coincides with the distance to the sun and the fact that the southern hemisphere is mostly water keeps temperatures there more steady.

I was wrong on the first part, in fact the sun is closer un the southern hemisphere's summer than in the northern, but the difference in distance is minuscule. So the only reason is the water distribution.
