What do people like (and dislike) about Merida?

"I've never experienced any racism by Mexicans towards white people. But I've seen PLENTY of racist white people treating Mexicans poorly. Maybe try treating them with a little respect and courtesy. In my experience, Mexican people are warm and kind and good. If you go to Mexico and get mad at the locals for not speaking English, you should GO HOME," said a member in Merida, Mexico.

On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the heat and humidity of the city to be oppressive, and the lack of reliable public transportation can be a challenge," remarked another expat who made the move to Merida, Mexico.
