I have nothing in this fight, but I really don't care for one upsmanship. It proves nothing. It's not about how long someone has done something. When it comes to living, working or traveling in a foreign country, it's about what style of life people live.
For example, here in Monterrey there are several Fortune 500 companies. If there employees are American, I can guarantee they stay in one of three neighborhoods, don't learn the language, stay tied to the U.S. consulate, and rarely mix with the local population.
They are here temporarily and aren't interested in what the country or people do. That's fine by me but their take on the country is much different than mine.
I've met experienced travelers who have only spent a year in Mexico and many have a much better take on what is going on then those that are native or have lived here most of their lives.
It's about experiences. You won't find them sitting in an rv park on a secluded beach or a pueblo magico.
So don't try to BS me either no matter what SOS International does.
