if she's anything like me, she's looking for something a little different than her last trip - Guy Nov 5, 10:00 28
- I thought she went to Mexico City? Wouldn't that be like the difference between Los Angeles and the Napa Valley? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:01 27
  - Judging from her FB profile pic, I believe she ended up deciding on the Yucatan -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 10:03 13
    - I went to Yucatan last week. (alone!) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:07 5
      - Cool! -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:09 4
        
        I'm 100% pro-travel. but also a strong advocate of knowing what you're getting into. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:11 3
        
        You're straight up telling people "DO NOT do this," "DO NOT do that...: -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 10:13 1
        
        for certain things, hell yes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:14
        
        fair enough, that's why i confer to you and ST :) -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:12
    - eh? How did you get Yucatan from my pic? -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:06 5
      - You had one before where it looked like you were at a ruins... -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 10:07 4
        
        Central America is *littered* with ruins -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 10:09 2
        
        *cough* Mexico is not Central America. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:10 1
        
        fine, Latin America is *littered* with ruins -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 10:13
        
        Ah yes, those were ruins but just outside Mexico City :) -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:09
    - Hm, maybe not... -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 10:05
  - did she stay in MC? i assumed she ventured out a bit too -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 10:02 2
    - Yeah I stayed in the city. Did 3 daytrips while I was there, stayed overnight in San Miguel one night (overrated). -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:03 1
      - its really too bad the Iceland thing expired. its a great deal and they have lots of beautiful parks, waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, etc. - Guy Nov 5, 10:12
  - Same language, similar food (I'm guessing) -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 10:02 9
    - Napa is known for it's fancy restaurants. Los Angeles has of late become a foodie's paradise (you just have to drive almost everywhere) -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 10:10 5
      - I'm talking about the similarities between Mexico City and Costa Rica -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 10:11 4
        
        it's like comparing NYC to the Everglades. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 10:12 3
        
        Yep - and to an outsider, the United States is one big amorphous blob with one type of food, one way of speaking, etc - Roger More Nov 5, 10:15 1
        
        I always made it a point to explain to my foreign friends this summer that an NYC usa and Indiana usa is vastly different. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 5, 10:18
        
        from what ive read/heard, Costa Rica has become a tourism hotspot - Guy Nov 5, 10:15
    - have you BEEN to los angeles? - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:03
    - food: i doubt that. other than using similar staples, it varies a bit - Guy Nov 5, 10:03 1
      - Sure - similar in the way that Chinese foodin Beijing is similar to Chinese food in Hong Kong - Roger More Nov 5, 10:10
