Mexico is a hidden gem that Americans are afraid to explore these days. I love the megalopolis that is Mexico City. Not at all what we, in Cali, generally think of Mexico and Mexicans.[/quote]
Brian: If you enjoy Mexico City and Paris, you should definitely visit Buenos Aires. Place is amazing and the main boulevard (Avenida Santa Fe) is very reminiscent of the Champs Elysees. Quite metropolitan, very upscale and beautifully scenic.

Dave: Brian has visions of himself spending a quiet Sunday afternoon in a cafe on the Left Bank of Paris, sipping a Pernod, smoking a Gauloise and idly leafing through either Camus or Sartre.

A number of American GIs after WWII, thanks to their US Dollar salaries, bought apartments in ruined capitals of Western Europe and became well-to-do. It was an age of opportunity for ordinary young Americans, something that will never be repeated again.
At that time, it seemed better than going back to populate the levittowns developers were building across America.
