They have super-ballers, a lot of the nice office buildings/hotels have helicopter pads on the roof.

https://www.businessinsider.com/john-stewart-rips-obamas-ignorance-of-us-spying-2013-10 Stewart is a liberal so it is obvious he has bias, but as far as media personalities go he is probably the closest to cutting through BS regardless of the political side.

You're going to have a hard time with that considering he hasn't been on the Daily Show since 2015. His Apple TV show, which I barely watched, was more about specific issues than general politics.

This is great news, I miss Jon Stewart in The Daily Show format. The Apple TV show just wasn't good.

If I recall it was a leather catsuit with nothing underneath

The Girl on a Motorcycle, zero idea what the plot is, but ummmm... things...

Try to explore outside of Centro if possible, not my favourite neighbourhood in CDMX. Roma, Condesa, Cayoacan, and Polanco are the most popular with tourists and prettiest. Cuahtemoc (this is where I always stay) and San Rafael are great too if you want a bit more of a local feel. Get a Metro...

My favourite city in the world. Let me know if you need any recommendations, well outside of cumbia. Pinche Gringo does decent Texas style BBQ btw if you ever get tired of tacos (which I can't imagine)

Trying to watch The Marvels, my god it's terrible. As a casual super hero movie watcher I have zero clue as to what is going on. Nothing is making any sense at all

Medellin is known for sex tourism which has conversely created an industry of criminals that prey on foreigners looking to date. It is pretty well known, stay off the dating apps in Medellin unless you want to be robbed or worse. Google scopolamine... Great city otherwise, been a few times now.

They were never locked to Amazon only, at least in recent history. They just didn't accept ePub, wasn't a big deal as converting from ePub to Mobi (Amazon format) was super easy. Now they accept ePub so things are even easier. Can email the book to yourself, transfer it with the Send To Kindle...

Can't speak to resort protocol, but normal practice is a 10% tip for service in Mexico

Oh I absolutely hated Pai because of the hippies, not my kind of place. I meant more riding through the mountains and stopping off at some tiny villages along the way

Rented a Triumph Bonneville when i was in Chiang Mai for a trip to Pai, had an absolute blast

Don't forget the birria!

Yup, I was even at the bridge in Veracruz for one of the most vicious such things. I don't deny very bad things happen, most of it however is localized to certain areas and certain types of people. I have some close Mexican friends and have met numerous others through them, not one of them lives...

You make it sound like a Mad Max wasteland. There are some bad areas, there are some areas that are perfectly fine. I have spent a combined six months in Mexico (various places but primarily Mexico City) this year as well as multiple visits before. Don't be stupid and chances are you will be...

The Brothers Sun, action/comedy on Netflix. Chinese gangster brother comes to US to protect his younger brother that doesn't know he is a gangster. Only a few episodes in but very entertaining

If you, ahem, source your own files and stream them from your own server you most definitely can.

The common stuff has been covered, my must haves outside of that are - Chair, so nice to sit in a comfy chair by a campfire after a day on the bike. I have a cheap Helinox copy I bought from Sail years ago that is still going strong - Hatchet, lifesaver when the campground sells bundles of only...
