I also dont consider Cancun to be Mexico. Its so darned American-ized, that you dont get to experience Mexican stuff. I get more out of going to my local authentic Mexican restaruant than I did going to Cancun. Everywhere you go, you have 87billion peddlers trying to get your attention. In the airport, they have erected booths to keep the peddlers behind and out of the way of tourists. The peddlers of vacations and other crap in the airport all but lasso you to get you to come over there. "Excuse me, sir, sir, come here, you need to come here...Why? So you wont get ripped off by the locals..." Excuse me, but arent YOU a local?
I was walking thru the shops in Cancun when I stopped and had a beer, cooling off in the shade. The next thing I know, a guy is trying to sell me weed for my hat. He started off with trinkets and worked his way up thru Cuban cigars and right up to weed. After the 47th 'no thanks, it was the last one like it' he finally gave up. If you are white, you are fair game in Cancun.
Wow, that was quite a rant.
