Many, perhaps most, gringos here live in palatial houses in gated communities in the hills, meaning ghettoes designed to keep Mexico out. The internees in these opulent barrios may not think they live in luxury, but by Mexican standards they do. Too many of them flaunt their dough or, more correctly in most cases, seem to be flaunting it because they can’t imagine the Mexican perspective. You see BMWs, flashy SUVs. The owners of these Cleopatrian barges don’t mean to offend.. Perhaps they think they have earned what they have, and mean to enjoy it. To Mexicans who work for a living, and not that hot a living, the (to them) lavish display is easy to resent. Very easy.
Thinking of moving to Mexico? Mind your manners and learn to speak some Spanish.
