Mexico - I'm a bit nervous about the drug wars going on, but I really want to go to Mexico and see what it's like! I want to know if it's closer to the U.S./Canada or if it's more inspired by it's Spanish father. Mexico City is a must, but I'd go to Tijuana too if I weren't so scared.

Why Tijuana and not other Mexican cities like Guadalajara, Veracruz, Monterrey, Puebla, etc? I live in Tijuana, btw. It's an awful city, to be honest. It's terribly planned, has a poor infraestructure and has very few interesting places to visit. From a security standpoint, though, the situation isn't that bad anymore.

It's sad how little attention is given to non-border areas in Mexico. There are a lot of nice places in the interior, but we Americans only ever hear about Tiajuana and Juarez, plus Cabo and the rest of Spring Break destination places. It's a shame. The drug problems have really dominated the entire country's image in the US.
