I saw jarring signs of that when I visited Mexico City in 2003
- I stayed with a business partner who lived in a walled community guarded by private guards openly carrying submachine guns. Can only imagine that the security has been dialed up a few notches by now.
(The source of my confusion: I interpreted "overseas" in a quite literal way - I'm from Europe.)
- medium_burrito 5y agoDid you visit one of the armored car dealerships in Polanco? They are badass.
- tpmx 5y agoI did not. I think random violent carjackings had just started happening at scale. The guy who hosted me was getting a bit worried.
