Mexicali

Best Food in Mexicali (2026)

Nice write-up, and you hit the big ones. One thing I'd add for seafood: skip the tourist traps near the border and head to Mariscos El Faro on Calle Segunda, it's a bit out of the way but the aguachil...

Nezahualcoyotl

3 Days in Nezahualcoyotl: Itinerary 2026

I've done almost this exact route and it holds up well. One thing I'd definitely recommend for day 2 is stopping by the taco stands on Avenida San Miguel near the temple around 2pm. They set up grill...

Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl

Best Food in Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl (2026)

I'll add that the torta de pierna stall on Avenida López Mateos is actually run by a señora who's been there for over 20 years, and she makes her own telera bread in-house. The 35 peso price is a stea...

Vila Velha

Things to Do in Vila Velha (2026)

The guide nails it with Convento da Penha, but if you want a less crowded viewpoint with a similar payoff, try the Mirante do Morro do Moreno on a weekday morning. I've done the hike a few times and i...

Best Food in Ecatepec (2026)

Berlin

How safe is Berlin for a woman?

I feel like I never get catcalled as much as in Berlin compared to the rest of Germany. Nothing physical has ever happened (thankfully) but I get really scared that it might just happen. How safe do y...

Tokyo

Is my 0-year-old already mocking my Japanese accent, or is this just expat paranoia?

Ugh, my baby (0M) keeps laughing at me every time I (39M) speak Japanese on the phone. Yeah, I know he's a baby, but it's always when I'm talking in Japanese, never in English. Coincidence? I think no...
