Um, the cost, that's why
Absolutely the cost for me. I grew up in London but live in the French Alps most of the year now. I had a hankering for living in a big city again for a bit and, just out of curiosity and knowing it was very, very silly, I looked up prices in New York. I always wanted to visit and it seems like the kind of city I'd really like. As soon as I saw the prices I confirmed to myself it was a complete non starter. I ended up in Mexico instead and it was fantastic - and cheap.
And unsafe. You forgot that one
I never felt unsafe there. I'd feel safer walking round Mexico City at night instead of West Croydon.
Why are you comparing the best part of Mexico with the worst part of the UK. Way to skew things.
Why do people get such a hard-on claiming that Mexico is unsafe? They always go out of their way to say something about it and it's always the ones who have never actually been to Mexico lol
And that's a big category, as it's not just the cost of food and lodging, it's also things like healthcare, insurance, transportation, and so on.
Also the visa situation for anyone outside the 11 or so countries that have visa on arrival options is probably a nightmare.
