How long you in DF for and why? I love it there, but never saw it as a real vacation spot for a lot of people.

My dad lives there with his wife and my teenage bro and sis.
I use to visit often but I haven't been in three years.
I'll be there for 9 days during my school break. Mainly I'll visit with them and we'll go sight seeing, great restaurants and great photography. I just got that T1i so I'm stoked about taking some photos of all the ancient architecture.

Are you in any dealings that the mexican cartels care about? no? then guess what? you dont mean shit to them!!!
and if you want to talk about getting shot in a cross-fire, then thats your fault pendejo. why you staring estuped???

HijoDMaite,
I just saw the note on your Percibu house. We really need to go down there and make sure everything is working if it has been abandoned for 3 years. :)- hey man i'm serious i have this house just sitting there collecting dust! i'll post some pics of it tonight...HijoDMaite
- Me too. We should hook up soon and plan a trip down. I love driving down there.capn_ron

@HijoDMaite. All the pics on my site were shot on either a contax T2, Minolta HiMatic AF2 or a Yashica T4.
Mexico was mainly on the T2, shooting Kodak Portra 160 NC film... T2 is amazing though, try and get one! I think it's down to the processing and scanning though too – I get them scanned at Luster in the east village.

I wouldn't let a bunch of gang on gang violence scare you... nor would I let the mainstream media dictate what life is like in Mexico... they're just anti-immigration so they make Mexico look like hell.
I lived in El Salvador for almost a year... sure it's poor, and I didn't walk down certain streets, but I never had a problem.
Some people should just stay at home, maybe you're one of them, maybe not.
- el salvador isnt mexico. maybe you should stay home and stfu while you're at it. oh snap. that was mean, im sorry.sofakingbanned
- If you knew anything... El Salvador is smaller, and scarier per square kilometerSeriousFreelancing
- spare me, the media says the same crap about most Latin American countries, especially the ones I've lived in.SeriousFreelancing
- Thats my point why compare them?
fa-get-itsofakingbanned - yeah El Salvador and Mexico have nothing in common. Don't you think you should spend your time learning Portuguese...SeriousFreelancing
- rather than trolling around in the middle of the night?SeriousFreelancing
- my god. you just cant be that dumb. you cant. you are indeed fucking with me, yes?sofakingbanned
- Travel advice is pretty much the same all over Latin America... just admit you hate El Salvador.SeriousFreelancing

@Capn-ron
This video is kind of stupid but you can get an idea of what the bar looks like in Percebu now days.
and of course the classic low tide shots:
here is our pad:
view from top of house looking East:
this one looks towards the barview looking west in to the desert and mountains:
And of course we need TOYS!!!

I'd open another bank account, hide the card that has the majority of your money... this might help your nerves. Try to only carry cash, and don't do anything considered "stupid"... like walking around drunk off your ass late at night. Seriously.
- hide the card in a safety deposit boxmoldero
- and carry lots of cashmoldero
- I wouldn't listen to moldero... don't put your card where a normal tourist would put it.SeriousFreelancing
- And only carry the cash you need.SeriousFreelancing
- no carry lots of cashmoldero
- LOTS OF CASHmoldero
- ;)moldero
- hahahasea_sea

actually moldero is right carry lots of cash cause cash is the only chance you have to keep five-o off your ass.
- that's my point, have one bank card with a limited amount of cash for any BS...SeriousFreelancing
- But you'll be alrightSeriousFreelancing
- bribe cash in 1 pocket, the rest in another, if you try and hand a cop 5 bux and he sees you have 100, its not gonna wok out too wellmoldero
- goodmoldero
- the 1 thing that sucks about tourist towns down here, the coppers do harass tourists sometimesmoldero
