[QUOTE=Guadalajara Don]What Monterrey is, is the filthiest, nastiest, city in this hemisphere. The air qulity rivals Bejing's. Take my advice: avoid this shithole at all cost.[/QUOTE]It is, at times, unbearably hot(100F+/high humidity) with 90+ percent of the taxis without a/c. But the MP's offer incredible value(roughly 700 pesos tip(200p) inclusive). When I return this year during the continued and unprecendented ascent of this upcoming long, economic global contraction, I am anticipating $700 peso-one and a half hour salidas with 7 and 8's. But then again, that's the way it's going to be in most parts of MX if it is already not such. Declining discretionary spending in MX is in the beginning process of a very disturbing trend.

The economist's estimate of only a .05 percent drop in 2009 in U.S. money remittances for the Michoacan state is an absolute fuc_ing pipe dream.
Regardless, I actually love Monterrey(no problems with air quality/some traffic)and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good sex at a great value.
