Mexico
I live an hour north of mexico, been there once. its great but it gives me the heeby jeebies although so many people come and go there everyday. When you are going there and are EXPECTING corruption from officials you need to rethink your trip. I have been to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic 2x and love it, no worries. but wouldnt do mex again... well maybe once more for the thrill but srsly its a shakedown all for what? Nothin! If anything I could see going down to mainland mex or something but up near the border, they expect americans to be there so they crack down extra hard to squeeze it out of you.
From what I've heard its good to always have an extra 60 dollars on your person, they love bottled water and sad to say it here on THR but they love playboy magazines all used for bribes. And to me, its worth it to ensure a safe trip, IF i decide to go again.
