I mean the food. Last time I went, I had diarrhea for 4-5 days, and my girlfriend ended up with the same plus some tough vomiting.

Did yall eat from the food carts a lot?

Maybe one of their products was prepared with city water?

Idk. Maybe stick to the gringo restaurants and limit street food.

I've only ever gotten sick from brushing my teeth with the tap water.

I get sick every time I go to Mexico, granted it only lasts a few days. My girlfriend was fukked up though, we were on the verge of taking her to the clinic.

Definitely made a mistake when we got fruit from a fruit stand. Could've been another restaurant, had a tlayuda .

Brush your teeth with bottle water. Sometimes the tap water in places aint bad its just our bodies aren't used to it.

Only time I got sick from food was I ate some Chichrron at a fair and within minutes I had bubble guts. But usually I been good eating street food, but water I don't play about.

I stayed out in Guatemala City for a month when I was 14 with my best friends fam (they’re Guatemalan) and had the same experience after brushing my teeth with the tap water.

Diarrhea for the entire day.

You going to visit any of the black cities in Oaxaca?
Oaxacans the coolest Mexicans I know
What makes them cooler than other Mexicans?
In the states, Mexicans make fun of Mexicans from Oaxaca for being short and dark.

Like I've heard them diss darker skin Mexicans by saying "they must be from Oaxaca".

Hearing from you guys that the city has Africans is very interesting.

The states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Veracruz have the highest black populations in Mexico. A lot of them maintain African traditions to this day.

Mexico City also has a lot of Afro-Mexicans.

Tijuana has a lot of Haitian immigrants who fled there after the natural disasters in Haiti

It's funny because my borough has a lot of Mexicans from Oaxaca and Puebla and half of these mofos be darker than me while being mostly Indigenous.

I'm aware of the Black roots of Veracruz and Guerrero. I heard Veracruz in particular has a strong Caribbean influence.
